We had some lovely rain last night in a storm. The garden had a good soak and we even had a puddle out the back. We don't often get puddles here as usually there is not enough rain to make puddles. Don't know how the frogs get on as we have lots of them around. They camp in our down pipes during the day and have been croaking for a few days usually around 4 am so I don't need an alarm clock.
Have been very busy in the soap room this week making up products for orders and also for restocking my market stall. Lavender goats Milk soap is now ready for labelling and available to purchase plus I have a new batch of Black Raspberry and Vanilla to get out and photograph before I label it.
Also restocked Sleepy Time and Headache Relief roll on as I managed to find the small roll on bottles again. These products are a great help if you suffer with headaches or have trouble sleeping as both have lovely soothing Lavender Essential oil in them along with other oils in a Jojoba Oil base.
It is never safe to apply pure essential oils directly to your skin so I always use Jojoba Oil as my base.
Speaking of Lavender Oil I have had a request to add some to my shampoo from a customer so I made up one bottle with a bit extra for me to try. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed after I used it as I have suffered with an itchy scalp for years and no matter what I try I still get the itches after a few days. It not only stopped the itches for a lot longer but it made my hair feel lovely and soft again. I will make a few bottles up and put along side my unscented shampoo so that if anyone wants to try it I have it ready to go.
We are back at the Mulgowie Markets this weekend so if you are looking for a lovely country atmosphere then come on out for a visit. We often have a lot of caravan visitors as they can camp on the other side of the community hall where the markets are held. If it was further away from where I live I would take my van out and camp there the night before as it is in the middle of farming country and the skies must be so beautiful at night with no street lights to bother you.
Well that is all for this post so do hope you all have a lovely weekend and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings.
