C is for….C H O C O L A T E

Just finishing “whipping up” (literally) some body butter. For V Day, for February, for discerning buyers… (who am I kidding?) for ME! I’ve made body butter for years now, and it’s GREAT for your skin. SO nourishing and without all those nasty added chemicals swimming around in your bloodstream doing who KNOWS what kind of damage? I’ve made a TON of unscented (the better to share for those sensitive peeps) and also with EO’s to safely add both a wonderful fragrance AND additional benefits (the peppermint is great for increasing focus!) My favorite, thus far though, has GOT to be cocoa. Or it was until I read about the additional benefits of vanilla, which is a scent I also love, and more specifically, vanilla BEAN (which also happens to be my favorite home-made ice cream ingredient). I can’t even finish the clean up yet. I had to slather every last drop of the bowl, beater and spatula on myself and now, I am wafting in magnificent silky CHOCOLATE AWESOMENESS! I posted a “chocotini body butter” picture somewhere already (FB/IG? Maybe both?) but here it is again – for staging purposes and my own personal usage.  (because well, I’m worth so much more than L’Oreal). I’m trying to figure out if I should just mass package it or try something “cute” (there are a few who will be gifted the “cute”) but if it flies out as quickly as I anticipate, I’m going to triple the batch next time.

Happy Friday, all. Happy EVERY day!
