Recipes for Sucess

>>In the process of detoxing my entire home... I have come to the conclusion that I need a place that I can revisit when encountering the many ins-and-outs of this massive transformation. So here is the begining of an attempt to organize and share this journey.

1. Heat up the Cranberries, Oil, Honey and Vitamin E on the stovetop, bringing it to a boil
2. Crush up the Cranberries with a wooden spoon until the color has turned to your lip-stain liking
3. Let it cool for ten minutes and then strain through Cheese Cloth to get out the Cranberry bits
4. Let it cool again - but not too long - and then spoon it into your Tin

And into the purse it goes, the best lip gloss. Remember: this recipe can be amended to include any seasonal fruit, all hues considered. And, though it may be a smidgen early to say so, we're thinking this product has the word "gift" written all over it. 

Directions

1. Grate one bar of soap with cheese grater or food processor.
2. Put grated soap in pan with 2 quarts water and gradually heat, stirring constantly until soap is completely dissolved.
3. Put 4.5 gallons of really hot tap water in a 5-gallon bucket (available for free in bakeries at grocery stores, just ask them) and stir in 1 cup of borax and 1 cup ofWashing Soda until completely dissolved.
4. Pour soap mixture from pan into 5-gallon bucket. Stir well.
5. Cover and leave overnight.
6. Shake or stir until smooth and pour into gallon jugs or other containers.
7. Use 1/2 to 1 cup per load.

Directions

1. In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils.
2. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Move to fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft.
5. Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy.
6. Return to fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
7. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would regular lotion or body butter. If your home stays above 75 degrees, it may soften and need to be kept at the fridge, but it will stay whipped at a temperature lower than that.
8. Enjoy!

Directions

In a shake-proof container mix ingredients and shake. Store this solution in a spray bottle for on the go, or in a glass Tupperware container with wipes submerged.

A note on the essential oil: babies need sensitive choices like lavendar, lemon, chamomile etc.
