Chest Rub

Winter is here and the cold season is upon us.

I’m not a huge fan of petrochemical based stuff like Vaseline and Vicks so heres my recipe for chest rub.

Heres what you need

100g Rice Bran Oil
25g Beeswax
20g Menthol Crystals
10g Camphor Essential Oil
10g Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Gently heat the Rice Bran Oil and Beeswax together until the Beeswax is melted.
Take off the heat.
Add the Menthol Crystals and stir until dissolved.
Add the Camphor and Eucalyptus Essential Oils.
Package in jars

Wish the Internet had smell !!

Big Girl Sippy Cup

I don’t know how many glass’s my kids broke growing up, or how many spillages we had from fallen cups and glass’s but I saw this idea recently …. I bought the Jar from countdown but there are some pretty jars available with food in them also. they’re more durable than a regular glass and when I drop my wine cooler after one too many it doesn’t spill so much.

so what you do is get your Jar and cut a hole in the lid (I used a steak knife and twisted it back and forth but you could ask hubby to drill a hole for you in the lid)

fill it up (juice, wine, bourbon or in this case cold lemon tea) pop a straw in it and voilĂ ! big girl sippy cup :)


also if it breaks you don’t have to replace the whole set!
