Natural Candles - Wicks

If you are new to making candles and are confusing about the different types of wicks that are out there, then I would suggest checking out a post called  Natural Candles - Wicks from Erica at The Bonnie Bath Company.I know that it has been awhile since I posted anything related to candle making but I thought this post  had some good information about wicks.

Gardener's Hand Scrub from The Joy of Soap

If you like spending a lot of time in the garden and you find that your hands are taking a beating, here is an moisturizing hand scrub for the gardener in your life. Gardener's Hand Scrub from The Joy of Soap. According to the author, Some people might like to add 1 tablespoon of an herbal or floral infusion. This ingredient provides an additional skin soothing benefit, and is not required if you do not have the ingredients or the time to make the infusion. For example: If I had the ingredients at home, and the time, I would make a small amount of marigold flower infusion to provide an added benefit for my dry hands."
