This was a messy loss. This month, I decided to “go off the grid” and make my own bath and beauty products. I am becoming more and more leery of the chemicals and additives in commercial shampoos and lotions. So, I decided to step off and instead of dabbling, jump in, and make all our lotions and potions with natural ingredients.

I have a few recipes that work well, and am experimenting with the ones that don’t work well. Like this one.

An example of an emulsification gone bad.

An example that ended up in the trash. This was supposed to be a creamy smooth, pale yellow calendula cream.

I am now off to the kitchen to try a new experimental concoction. I hope to share my recipes and results with you at the end of the month. For a little further reading about other bloggers making One Small Change in their lives to help preserve our Earth click on over to the blog!
