Waiting on Supplies

This must be the hardest part of making soap and bath/body products. From the moment you press the confirm order button to the moment you hear the knock on the door. The excitement that builds up and then the 'miniplosion' of glee when you open up your parcels. Waiting for materials to arrive sometimes feels like the longest wait, especially when you've been working on and dreaming about new recipes for a while.

I've just ordered lots of materials, for the first time some lotion ingredients. I've never tried to make lotion but have been thinking about it for a while. I'm looking at making a lavender lotion first for bedtimes. I suffer from anxiety disorder and panic attacks making it hard to sleep sometimes, so I'm hoping this helps. I also ordered some jasmine FO. We used to have huge jasmine vines climbing all over our garden wall. When summer hit they burst into bloom, filling the hot night air with such a pretty, delightful scent. We don't have them anymore and I miss the fragrance that used to drift on the breeze into our house.

All these items won't be arriving until at least Wednesday though, I will update as soon as I've made my first lotions (hopefully same day). See you soon!
