Melt together in double boiler, add essential oils in after all combined, then pour into containers.

New painting – face small
Trying something new, it’s not quite going to plan on these but I’ll share them anyway. This is a small 10cm canvas, and turned out OK, not what I imagined, but still happy enough with it.

A Short Walk – new book release
It is here, my new book of short stories I have been saying is coming, has now arrived. Hopefully these ones will get feedback as good as the first book, but it’s always a bit nerve-racking putting something new out there.

Homemade dandelion moisturiser – recipe
On a bit of a mish for making things. Decided to go for moisturiser, having never really liked shop bought I tend to avoid it, but with making my own flower oils now, thought why not.
Only 4 ingredients. And a nice glass pot I found on ebay for not very much!
32g Shea Butter
1 tbsp dandelion infused oil
1 tbsp coconut oil
10 drop of essential oil – I’m pretty sure more than 10 hurtled out of the bottle, but it seemed ok.
(I chose orange essential oil for this one having bought a small selection last week).
Melt together in a double boiler and stir in the essential oil after, then pour into the glass jar and put in the fridge to set overnight (or for 6-8 hours), apparently setting it in the fridge bit is important, as it prevents is separating when it softens.
It does go quite soft once out of the fridge, but can be kept at room temperature and they say lasts for around 6 months. A small amount go a long way.
