Today We Are Making Lip Balm!

The postlady delivered all my organic ingredients yesterday so, with the help of my Princess, we spent the afternoon making lip balm!

We used these recipes as inspiration:

http://frugallysustainable.com/2012/08/a-recipe-for-homemade-warm-vanilla-and-honey-lip-balm/

Some worked out better than others but our favourite by far was one of our own:

4 tablespoons sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon macadamia wax beads
1 teaspoon cocoa butter
1 teaspoon raw honey
3 drops essential oil (we used lavender)

Smooth and creamy!  Feels fabulous on your lips, smells divine and every time you lick you can taste honey ... delicious!!  Definitely a winner :)

I will upload a photo as soon as I can work out how to turn it up the right way!
