Make It Take It Tuesday - The Magic Potion

Last week I had a co-worker come in with her eye swollen shut from allergies.  I had a small bottle of this to give to another co-worker who has boys with allergies.  I had her rub a couple drops of this onto her temples, and a couple hours later she asked me where she could get some of that magic potion, as the swelling had gone down considerably.  I've begun using it daily, being that I'm allergic to Texas.  I'm carrying my rollerball with me at all times, and sharing with anyone else complaining about allergies.

This is another super easy, less than a minute recipe.  Here's all you need:

Rollerball bottle
YL Lemon Oil
YL Peppermint Oil
YL Lavender Oil
YL Copaiba Oil - This is optional, but it's an oil that intensifies other oils it's mixed with so I figured it couldn't hurt.
Carrier Oil - I used 100% Organic Almond Oil



Equal parts of each into the rollerball.  That's it!  I did 10 drops of each, and it'll last me a good while.  You don't need to use much at all.  The only warning with this is if you're going to be out in the sun, the lemon oil can increase your chances of burning.  Citrus oils are photosensitive, so when exposed to the sun you may experience burning, freckling, or hyper-pigmentation.  I use this on the back of my neck, but you can also use it on your chest, base of your spine, or bottom of your feet.

I like to have hobbies.   Sometimes I have a hard time sticking with one, or I get frustrated, but I like to stay busy.   Texas is hot, so in the summer if I’m not in the pool, I’m in the a/c.   The husband also works a couple weekends a month, so having something to pass the time when it’s just me and the kitties is always a good thing. I have a pretty decent sewing machine, and last year I decided it was time to be a quilter.   How hard can it be?   Let’s just say harder than I thought.   The one my brother and sister in law were gifted with is associated with a good amount of swearing, and as I told them, just don’t look at it too closely.   Since then my only real attempt at sewing anything was some panels and a valance for a friend at work.   They actually came out pretty good, but it didn’t give me the confidence to do more.   I’ve made a few aromatherapy rice bags (disclosure: I don’t use my YLEO oils on these, only the cheapies), but my sewing machine is back under the dus

The Lamb Cake

This was the first Good Friday I think I've ever worked.  It used to be a holiday for us, but when your company buys another company, not all good things come from it.  For the Polish, Easter is a bigger holiday than Christmas.  I was sitting in my office thinking about how there would be no Polish sausage, no lamb butter (in the shape of a lamb), and no lamb cake (again, no lambs harmed in making of cake).  I figured there had to be somewhere close by that I could get a lamb cake mold.  I started out calling the local craft stores, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Jo-Ann's.  No luck.  Next, a google search.  I could order one from Amazon, but it wouldn't deliver until after Easter.  Finally, local bakeries and baking supply stores.  Success!  A baking supply store 45 miles from work had one vintage 3-D lamb cake pan.  I took a long lunch and for $5, and half a tank of gas, here he is! Saturday was the day.  I googled a lot of recipes, and saw a lot of fails.  I went with

Those links on the side - Part 3

So maybe I did save the best for last.  I followed  Love Your Melon  on social media for awhile before I was gifted one of their beanies for my birthday.  Living in Texas, there isn't a long season for needing beanies, and in the past the ones I've had I wore just as long as I had to because they would get so itchy.  All that changed with this black speckled beanie.  I can wear this all day long and it's so soft, it never bothers me! I love what LYM stands for.  They want to put a hat on every child battling cancer.  Not only that, but they give 50%(!) of their net profits to the Love Your Melon Fund to support non-profits in the fight against pediatric cancer.  I went from that one beanie to I think 5 or 6 now.  I had to add a couple of the lightweight beanies so I can extend my usage beyond our short winter.  Did I mention all their products are made in the USA?  There's really no reason to not run over and get yourself one.  Use my code @bchbnd and score free shi
