Last week while the daycare kids napped, I was busy in the kitchen making my favorite lotion.
It wasn't pretty..
It was a mess...to say the least. Since I was going to make 4 batches of the lotion, my mom and I decided to buy the 1 lb block of beeswax instead of the little 1 oz. blocks that we usually buy. I ended up in my kitchen with a hammer in on hand and a butter knife in the other using the two to chisel the amount of beeswax needed for each batch...not an easy task! Next time I hope to have a better way to go about this.
Although this attempt was a bit challenging, it was completely worth it!
I now have 6 jars full of my favorite lotion!

This time around I made orange tea tree lotion, rosemary tea tree lotion, peppermint lotion and unscented lotion (which smells a bit like coconut and beeswax).
We ordered most of our supplies from: https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
This lotion is more like a body butter...perfect for the dry winter months. I however use it year round and love it!
