Hi folks! Haven't crafted in the kitchen for a while but now that the holidays are done with I can get back to it! Last night I made a beautiful light face lotion with natural AHA (Multifruit BSC) and a thick creamy body lotion with Lactic Acid (AHA). I used both this morning and they are...

Hi folks! So I have really long hair (mid-back) that gets really stressed and dried out in the winter. Scalp gets oily, but ends are dry and actually CRUNCHY. Nasty. Last night, totally spur of the moment- I grabbed a 1 oz shot glass and mixed up the following: 1/2 oz jojoba oil 1/2 oz...
