My own natural beeswax lipbalm
Okay... I have written this post and almost finished it THREE times in the last hour... and each time a glitch in the system of my server has deleted the entire post.
So... I am frustrated.
I love technology, but there are days when I could take my laptop and toss it out the window into the garden.
For that reason, I am going to have a cup of tea and forget about technology for a while. I have some knitting to work on (for myself this time, yay!), and I'm going to get lost in Downtown Abbey and knitting for a few hours.
I had the recipe and supply links all done up beautifully... but my head is pounding and I just can't do it again with the threat of losing it for time number FOUR.
The Coles Notes version of the recipe is 1 tablespoon of oil base, 1 tsp of beeswax, 1/4 tsp of carnauba wax, 1/4 tsp of pure vitamin E oil, and 4 lip balm tubes. Warm the oil in a small metal jug over medium-low heat and then stir in the two waxes, swirling to make them dissolve into the oil. Remove from heat and stir in the vitamin E oil, and then carefully pour the liquid balm into the tubes. Let the tubes stand undisturbed for at least half an hour so they set up well.
If anyone needs further instructions, please let me know and I'll send an instruction sheet :-)
Does anyone else have technology meltdown?!
