Orange Butter Lip Balm
This...
It may still be February and I may be dreaming of sunshine, grass and gardening, but outside my window are still piles of snow. I seem to do this to myself every year. I get impatient for the next season rather than enjoying the current one. Would you like to try with me? I’d love some company!
I am trying to rein myself back and enjoy each day as they come. It is certainly a tough challenge, particularly when my regular grocery store is laden with pictures of fluffy bunnies and cute chicks. Since it seems to be the season of chocolate, I wanted to make a cuticle oil that acknowledges all of the chocolate available and that spring is just around the corner. Come join me for this chocolate scented cuticle oil!
