on deck: perfume solids & body scrubs.

i like to smell good all day. two of my all time favorite (discontinued, for cryin out loud) scents are nicole and nicole miller, but who's tryna carry that mess in their purse all day & night? and how many times have i wondered how i could possibly smell like my favorite dgf scents without carrying bath bombs in my pockets? so, i started researching how to make a solid perfume. here i am, 2 months later, up to my elbows in containers & candelilla wax (i still can't pronounce that word). it's going, slowly but surely...

onto the scrub, aka luxefoliant. crafters, holler if you hear me: there is not one thing more annoying than reading the ingredients of a product & finding that it's something you can make yourself w/ little to no effort. also, i hate the idea that lots of manufacturers test their products on animals. so, one day i decided to add honey & fine cornmeal to make a fine facial scrub for myself. the next thing i knew i was adding coconut milk, grapeseed oil, turbinado sugar & a bunch of other stuff to it to change the moisturizing properties & make my scrubs unlike anything i'd ever find on the shelf at sephora or anywhere else.


UPDATE:

if you so happen to visit my etsy store, you'll see that perfume solids are at a special introductory price with FREE SHIPPING.

get on it, i'm changing the price as soon as i feel like it.
