After bath splash.
1/2 cup vodka (yes vodka)

1 Tbsp glycerin
Combine ingredients and shake well..
Lip balm.
1 tsp. beeswax beads.
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp coconut oil.
2-5 drops of any flavoring you like (optional of course)
1 capsule vitamin E.
Heat oil and beeswax until melted. Add the rest of the ingredients Mix well. Use a dropper to place in tubes or small jars (this really is good stuff)
Good mix ins with the lip balm I have found to be shea butter,almond oil,cocoa butter,olive oil. About a tsp of one of these is great.

6 pounds canned paraffin wax (used for canning)
1/4 cup baby oil and a few drops essential oil.
Cut paraffin into chunks and heat on low in double boiler.
When melted add mineral oil and essential oil. Mix well and remove from stove and cool to 124 on a candy thermometer.
When cool rub hands with lotion Dip one hand into wax without touching bottom of pan. Remove hand and allow was to harden for a few seconds. Repeat 5-10 times on each hand before wrapping waxed hands in plastic for 30 minutes. Peel wax off and put away cause it can be used again (this is something you and mom can do together and it really is amazing)...
