Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
We wanted to do something a little different for our 4th of July projects this year and found some inspiration from a lithograph created by Jasper Johns. It’s called ‘Flag (Moratorium)’ and was made in 1969.
Here’s a sneak peak of our final soaps.
I’ll be doing the step by step for this project the rest of this week, interspersed with Craft Show Questions, Cupcake Cravings and general personal ramblings and rants. Stay tuned for this how-to.
If you’re like many Americans, you used the wonderful mid-week holiday for sitting in the sun and hanging out with family and friends. If you’re like Nicole at Bramble Berry, you also toasted yourself beyond a nice tan and all the way into a red burn.
Aloe Vera is a herb for minor burns and cuts. In a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Survey & Oncology, 27 people with burns were treated with aloe or with “standard” medical care. The Aloe group took only 12 days to heal compared to the 18 days in the standard care group.
For Nicole, we’ve got her spritzing Aloe Vera directly onto her burned skin every 30 minutes. It’s not providing the cooling effect she wanted, so we’re thinking of dropping in some Peppermint EO for its cooling feeling.
