I tried to mow the lawn tonight after work but it was still pretty wet and man was the lawn looking ugly where I mowed with clumps of wet grass all over.
So I decided to make some lotion instead. I’ve been wanted to have a chance to get some lotion made for myself for quite some time now and tonight seemed like the perfect night to do it.
I haven’t made myself lotion forever and I don’t know why? It’s so easy and not very hard to clean up after it’s made, so there’s no reason to ever put it off. Well I guess other than finding the time to do it 🙂
But I did get a quick batch made and it’s cooling on kitchen window before I store it away for the fall.
This time I made a couple of different scents to the containers. The first one I left unscented just in case this adding essential oils to the batch thing didn’t work. For the others I used my essential oils and made on an Orange scent, one oil that I use quite a bit as perfume is called ‘Joy’ so I made one bottle of that, and the last one was a lavender scent. I just really like how the lotion feels and it’s so much less expensive than buying it in the store.
It’s also kind of like soap. Once you’ve used some that’s homemade, it’s hard to use anything else.
So if feel adventurous and want to make some for yourself, you can find the recipe that I used on this website – Soapqueen.com. I usually make the one that is ‘Make lotion from scratch’. It has almond oil, shea butter, avocado oil, and some other good things to make it smooth and creamy.
