Pinterest has me doing many odd things now. I’m more fashionable, which I never really was. The website has me making things like my own bath bubbles, body scrub and lip balm. I now even want to buy a sewing machine, because I want to learn how to sew. It will keep me busy during those long Winter months.

My latest pinterest adventure was making my own lip balm. It took almost a whole entire day for it to set, because it’s been very muggy and humid outside. This afternoon, I put two containers of lip balm in my bag to give to my friends and when I got to my friends house they were already melted. Be careful of what temperatures you store this in. It could look like other things. I ended up making peppermint, chocolate (4 or 5 chocolate chips), and lavendar. You only need about 8 to 10 drops of those.

The beeswax, I got at Hobby Lobby. It was about $16.00 for a whole bar of it. You get a lot and it lasts a long time.

The little storage container, I bought at the $1 store. Talk about cheap.

All the rest of the ingredients, I got at Swanson Health Products. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients from Delia Creates

1-2 TBSP. grated beeswax
2-3 TBSP. coconut oil
1/2 TBSP. sweet almond oil
5-10 drops of essential oil {added off heat}

Grate beeswax with a cheese grater. In a double boiler, melt the beeswax and coconut oil until all the beeswax is melted. Add in the almond oil and stir along with whatever flavor you choose.
