Worried about wrinkles?
"All of these lines across my face
tell you the story of who I am...
But
these stories don't mean anything
when you have no one to tell them
to..."
Brandi Carlile
Thank you for listening to my stories.

Homemade Body Lotion
It's simple to make.
It's inexpensive to make.
It's messier to make than you think....
but it makes the most wonderful gifts!

2 Jars Store-Brand Vitamin E Cream
2 Store-Brand Baby Lotion Bottles
1 Jar Store-Brand Vaseline Petroleum Jelly
(Save money and purchase all items at dollar stores.)
Dump all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
(Get a BIGGER mixing bowl than you think you will need.
(Cut apart the baby lotion bottles to get more out.)
Mix.
(I used an electric mixer on low speed. Don't overheat mixer.)
Spoon lotion into little jars. You might want to reuse Vitamin E cream or Vaseline jars, or antique or fancy jars. RECYCLE: I clean and use glass Shatto milk bottles, and other glass bottles and jars.

Yes! It's that easy!
Now - go make some.
Think of a name for your line of bath and body products.
Optional: Add essential oils for fragrance.

It's fun to decorate jars with shells, charms, glass and cording.

Something For Wrinkled Souls:
"People grow old only by deserting their ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,
but to give up interest wrinkles the soul."
"You are as young as your faith,
as old as your doubt;
as young as your self-confidence,
as old as your fear;
as young as your hope,
as old as your despair."
"In the central place of every heart
there is a recording chamber.
So long as it receives messages
of beauty, hope, cheer and courage,
so long you are young."
"When your heart is covered with the
snows of pessimism and
the ice of cynicism, then,
and then only,
are you grown old.
And then, indeed as the ballad says,
you just fade away."
Douglas MacArthur
(1880-1964)
American General who commanded the Southwest Pacificin World War II
