FORCED into Action

So, I just recently got back to work after a hiatus of having a baby (they call it maternity leave) and I wandered down to my favorite body care store... which no longer where I left it last!

LUSH in New Orleans is... GONE. 
This is heart breaking for me. I loved my Godiva bar, which I just used up along with my Jungle, and I have a lingering bit of great smelling soap left from my last visit there. The only place that has a LUSH store near me is now Baton Rouge's Mall of Louisiana.

What a tragedy.
I had to find a remedy.

Since my family and I have so many sensitivities, we have to buy unscented or fragrance-free products and try to use mostly organic or natural products.  Because of this, combined with the fact that one of my sources of products is now no longer in my reach, I will be trying my hand at making my own body care products.

Just like many of you, I too love Pinterest. Unlike many of you, I do make many projects based off of things I've seen there.
I'm sure you've seen at least one recipe for a DIY body care product on there. Well, I'm collecting some easy and great recipes to try out, so if you have one, please let me know! I use essential oils as well.

I called a local honey farm from which I can buy my beeswax and can't wait to try my first recipe next weekend. I'll be making some soap and sugar scrub cubes.

Seriously, please let me know if you have a great body care recipe for me!
