// Moisturizer//

I don’t know how you guys are all doing, but this incredibly dry and hot weather is taking a serious toll on my poor skin. 

I decided I needed to try and remedy that with a new moisturizer. I took equal parts veggie glycerin and jojoba oil, and added a squeeze of some honey. It works better as a night time moisturizer, as it is a bit tacky. I may add some aloe vera juice to it as well. If you use it as a day time moisturizer be sure to put on a sunscreen as well!

// Slip Stitch Crochet//

I am becoming a very big fan of slip stitch crochet. 

You can create some very beautiful pieces with it! I made this lacy feather and fan scarflet in slip stitch crochet. 

I am writing patterns using this style, and to help people learn I’ve started a youtube channel where I’m posting instructional videos on the stitches. Please check them out if you would like to learn how. <3

I made a scrub for my face today out of cinnmon sugar and nutmeg

Then I decided I needed a moisturizer too, and wanted to use some ginger. I used aloe gel and some vit e oil too. Then decided it needed some rosewater concentrate

It was a fun morning :)
