Got together with three other gals and made healing salves and lotio bars. They turned out so well. I found two silicone rubber forms to make bars and round discs at the thrift store. I also bought a sheet with 12 different flower molds to use. I am going to give some of my other friends these for Christmas. My favorite fragrances were straight lemongrass and a mixture of lavendar and orange. We also made a couple with Young Living essential oil called Joy. We did do some with neem and plantain for healing, but they do not smell as nice but work very well. Fun day.

Sounds like a great way to spend the day! I'm sure your friends will love the salves and lotion bars. They work nicely and have that homemade ingredient the commercial ones don't have, love!

Have a Merry Christmas!

You are right, nothing like the smell of essential oils.

I love Joy, one of my faves.
