Basic Lotion Recipe

Bohemian Beauties! 

Here's a lotion recipe that I have been using for many many many years. It's foolproof. I made this lotion using Ponderosa Pine Resin Oil that I recently made and O my god it smells freakin amazing. 

For all you beauties with closed comedone/clogged pore problems: this will work great on your body. Don't use it on your face!

Ponderosa Pine Resin Oil

My son and I and a dear old friend took a hike today in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque. It was cold and a tiny bit of snow was falling. So beautiful! I noticed that a LOT of resin was eking out of the pines, especially the huge Ponderosas that grow there. These trees smell AMAZING. Sweet and piney, kind of like Frankincense mixed with vanilla. 

Natural Beauty in Faraway Lands

One of the things I like to do when traveling is to take advantage of the herbs, flowers, and fruits I find growing there. I took a lot of rose-petal baths and gave myself many a blackberry facial while traveling in Wales, for example. I even stole a few sprigs of Bronze Age chamomile from a hill fort exhibition in Cardigan to make sun-infused oil at my B & B.

Well, I've just spent two weeks in Tuscany. I couldn't BELIEVE the profusion of flowers, herbs, fruits and stuff they have there! They've even got tobacco plantations. Serious heaven.

Homemade Deodorant

Yes, seriously. How Laura Ingalls is that?

In my obsessive quest for true pioneer-lady status and cheapskate, I have come upon a startling little gem: homemade deodorant. It's so easy and cheap, and it works LIKE A DREAM! It is really the best deodorant I've ever used. There are a few problems with it, which I'll talk about, but overall it's quite nice.
