Homemade lotion and body butter

Good morning world.  I have been one busy camper this morning.  Would I ever love to go camping this coming weekend.  It is suppose to be in the 60's Saturday.  I will have to work on Patrick and the boys.

Back to what all I have done this morning.  After getting up and moving, shower, coffee, starting laundry, I started making my first batch of lotion.  I choose a couple of different recipes and made one of my own.

It is all about the same part oils and part water.  In the oils I used coconut, jojoba, and shea.  The waters are distilled water with rose water and alovera.  I also used lavender essential oils and vitamin E.  I have thrown out all the store bought lotions.  I think I will have enough lotion to last me for a while.

In the freezer are the beginnings of whipped body butter.  I am going to use this for a face cream.  It has coconut oil, coco and shea butters, along with lavender essential oil.

Oh and I made a coconut oil/sugar scrub this morning too.  Felt so good on my skin.

While I am not so keen on the homemade shampoos, I LOVE the homemade skin care items!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,

Elizabeth
