Simple fun homemade products

I am back after a long break, my boys are all at school and as a home mum of 4 boys I am now looking for other hobbies and ways to entertain myself.  So far I have a list of body products I now make including:
Moisturiser Body Butters and Vitamin E Cream
Deodorant
Lip Balm
Face Scrub
Face/Hand Wash
Shampoo
Hair Conditioning soak.
Room or Body Spray
Sunscreen
Toothpaste
Cleaning products with vinegar and bi carb soda


I only use natural organic products with Doterra Essential Oils due to their purity.

Other fun creations include:
Beeswax and coconut butter candles in a Tin
Tin Gifts
Button Magnets
Wallets Sewing
Pin cushions
Clay ornaments
Shrinky key rings
Cake decorating
and more.

The reason for my passions is one; I am surrounded by boys and I love craft and two; I have encountered enough cancer to scare the life out of me!!! I don't believe we are allergic to the sun when sun screen has become increasingly alarming with the chemicals that are in the products.  I have a booklet that describes what our household chemicals do to harm the body and Parabens are in most our soapy products ie: shampoo/conditioner, body wash, deodorant and they are also found in breast cancer tissue however they don't know how it gets there...  I would love to see studies on Cancer that focused on prevention. I want research to show results because our skin absorbs the products we come into contact with within 30 seconds. Every time I have offered my products to my friends going through chemo they have had to ask the specialist if they can use them even with the most basic food products in them, but why do they not question their hand soap or face products that do have known harmful chemicals in them???  why do doctors not encourage a healthy choice?

When I post recipes I will endeavour to find the ingredients of similar supermarket products and write a list of the harmful effects next to them.  All the recipes I have found are completely safe and edible (although I would not recommend it for the taste lol - however it is yummy to lick lips after face scrub and lip balm... just saying).

I recently put together a pack of my natural homemade products for a friend who is wanting to go more natural because she is having trouble conceiving a child and has tried IVF so many times now that I have lost count.  This is their final try and thus with that in mind my friend is willing to try anything to make sure it works and is over doctors telling her she is to old and being negative etc if this time fails she is going to try Chinese Medicine.  I personally love Chinese medicine and wonder why you cant do both at the same time? The body needs love and pampering.  If she gets pregnant I will let you know.

With all this in mind I would love to share my products with you.  Lip Balms I have already attached however will add the bad products list and post it again so all products are together and easy to access.  You will be surprised at how easy all these products are to make, I am willing to challenge you that anyone can make them!  I do hope you have fun!!! 

Please note that these products are not for everyone but I can guarantee that I have tried all of them and give my honest opinion of them!  Let the fun begin
