Lip balm recipe.

Alrighty, so Today I had made some lip balm, and I thought i would share the recipe!

Ingredients:
~Beeswax (Can be found at most craft stores.)
~Vasaline
~Jojaba or almond oil
~Vanilla extract
~Almond extract
~Honey
~Essential oil(s) of your choice.
~Empty lip balm tube or container.

First get your double boiler started. Then Put in the desired amount of beeswax. Next scoop out vasaline, make it about a little under the same amount of beeswax that you put in. Make sure all of this melts as you stir it. Now, stir in a little honey, and add desired amount of whatever essential oil(s) of your choosing. Once completely melted, pour into container or tube. Next, put it in the fridge, until cool and hardend.
*NOTE*: If the mixture bubbles too much, than just lift up the top pan to stop bubbling.

Now you have you own lip balm! And it is alot cheaper than buying other store-brand lip balms!

Warmth Spell.

So, as I was in my room the other day, writing down spells and such. I wrote one chant that seemed to work quite well for me.

Close your eyes, and say "Fire, gift from Mother earth, please keep me warm during my coldest times."

Please only use this in situations of extreme cold, not because you are in your house, and do not feel like reaching for the blanket. No one likes karma!
I think that there might be a full moon next week, so then I will do a protection spell. I usually do spell castings outside, even if it is snowy, I should be fine....



Now time for tea.

So, How is the weather doing?

I HATE the snow. The only thing I like about it, is that sometimes, it produces that wonderfull glittering look. Otherwise, nothing. It is cold, and wet, and it gets in the way, and stops you from doing things, and so much more. Recently As being winter where I live, it stopped snwing, and all the snow melted away for a few days. Oh, Indeed, aI was so filled with happieness, even the chill of the tempurate was subsiding to something warmer. Now, it is snowing yet again, and is also freezing, to the point where I am shivering constantly..Hmph! Yet, I do not like summer, because It is too hot. I really like the kind of weather, that happens in fall. When the sky is mostly grey, with just atiny bit of blue. You only have to wear a sweater outside, to keep you warm, and there is the slightest breeze, just enough, not too much. And all the colors of leaves. The assortmant from, browns, to firey red, being brushed away from the branches of the solid trees, twirling to the ground as if they were dancing...Then, winter hits, and I hate it. Spring I say, is okay, except for the fact that, that time is when all the bugs come out, especially bees, and I am not a big fan of those. And it can get pretty hot quite often, wich is not in my favor either...hmmm.And rain I really do not like rain all that much either. Oh, alright, now my complain about wether is prbabley getting guite on the irksome level.....
