Is that from Voyageur? They are SO awesome. I love just wandering around their warehouse touching everything. :D

Holy crap, they’re fast! I ordered some oils two days ago and it arrived today! I can’t believe how cheap they are — 50ml of lemongrass essential for $9.20.

I also finally found a decent smelling cedarwood. Most cedarwood oils are eastern cedar which has a sweet smell. But “Cedarwood Texas” is much closer to western cedar, which smells like you cut wood.

Also, the baby powder oil smells identical to baby powder!

Thanks for the tip!

Sorry about the glass breaking! Yikes! I love the idea of lemongrass and the coconut milk. Yum! I’ll have to try that later. I made mine with goat milk but only heated it to 100 degrees. It worked fine and unmolded it and cut it in 24 hours.

Ooh, and even better, my ever so awesome supply store in Cloverdale has 50ml bottles for $9.

Sure does.

I picked up a 30ml bottle from … oh crap, what’s the name of that natural food store on the drive, next to Drive Organics? Sweet Cherubim, or something. Anyway, was about $9.

Consdering Saje sells 12ml bottles for $17, so I was pleased to find this. :) You can also pick it up at Gaia Garden (not quite as cheap, but better than Saje) if Kits is more convenient: http://www.gaiagarden.ca/products/essential_oils/15136

I totally love lemongrass. I know you can get it in incence sticks, but I’m trying to switch my daily olfactory pleasures from incence to oil; this, after seeing how much soot covers my windows every time I clean them. (Dear god, I almost used “Windex” as a verb.)

But does pure essential lemongrass oil exist?

hahaha. Yes, I could totally make breastmilk soap. If I can use cow or goat milk, I don’t see the difference. But yeah, you’ll have to buy all of it, I can’t see too many of my craft fair shoppers wanting to rub that all over themselves… ;)
