RE: How to Fight Acne
messing with your skin too much can make it worse. but I would recomend that you try mixing chammomile and rosemary water and using it as you would a toner, since it has antibacterial properties and it will help prevent breakouts and reduce redness. The problem is those can be hard to find, but you can make rose water and extracts (or any other herb) at home. Take a large pot, insert a clean brick or rock, fill with rose petals or herbs or whatever around the brick. Cover with water and place a small glass dish on top of the brick. On top of the pot put a stainless bowl and fill with ice. Simmer about three hours depending how many petals or herbs you have, replacing the ice as needed. The bowl with the ice will condense the steam and drip down into the glass bowl. The water in the glass bowl is your rose water or whatever herb, on top will be a layer of oil. This is the essential oil. You can separate these and use the water as a toner, and the oil for perfume, or in lotions or whatever. I hope this helps, good luck. ... View related article.

1 oz. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. or more (depending on your preference) of fragrance oil or essential oil. DO NOT use any citrus essential oil, as they are phototoxic when worn in the sun!!!! Phototoxicity causes skin damage!
Directions: Melt the mango and shea butters, stir in the ROE, coconut oil, and FO/EO, then pour immediately into a SANITIZED container. Do not lid the container until the body butter is completely cool and hardened...otherwise, condensation will form.
Shea butter is an excellent ingredient in this recipe, as it has proven skin-healing properties.

1 teaspoon lanolin
&frac; oz of grated beeswax

Add these ingredients to the first mixture. Whip together until their consistency
resembles buttercream frosting. Store in a covered jar.

Peppermint Lotion

Relieves itching.
 1/2 cup water
 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol

Oil of eucalyputs or cade can be used in place of peppermint, if you prefer. Pour the water and alcohol into a bottle, then add the oil. Cap and shake well. Apply to your skin with a clean cloth.



hope this helps

RE: Looking for Wedding Cake Recipes and Tips
for my friends wedding, we made her 8 10inch round cakes. We just used the boxed cake mix. all different flavors/ fillings ( like a lemon cake with raspberry filling and carrot cake with a cream cheese filling, and so on and so fourth) each cake had a different pattern that it was decorated, one was a basket weve design, one was swiss dots.... And they whole thing was presented on a plant stand ( that the groom made for the cakes), they had flower garland wrapped on it, nothing to gawdy, but it was great for an out-door wedding.
anyways, If you are going to do it your self I would recomend keeping it simple, because there will be so much going on, doing something extravagant will stress you out. especially if you are not familer with cake making and decorating.
Good luck!!!
