My idea of natural beauty recipes is.... only things you would find in your house normally. So all the recipes I put on the natural beauty pages will be along those ideas. Please test products, customize them...if you like lavendar more than camamille, then by all means switch them. Have fun making up your own recipes. Remember 250 years ago, they didn't have anything that didn't grow on the earth. All the scents they wore, all their make-up and all their bath products were made in a kitchen, not a labatory. |
