Late again...

It's Wednesday so that means it's time to link up with Hazel for Winter Wednesday.  You'd think, given that I'm on holidays, that I could get this post done a little earlier, but no it wasn't to be.

I had a look through the winter section of "60 second Secrets to a happy, healthy, more relaxed you" by Julie Maree Wood  last night.  I found what looks like an easy recipe for hand cream "to get rid of that winter crocodile skin".

Recipe from the book is:

Place an egg yolk and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice into the blender and whiz.

Slowly add 1/3 cup of vegetable or almond oil, 1/4 cup sunflower oil and 5 drops of your favourite essential oil.

Once it is thick and creamy, place it in a glass jar and keep it in the fridge. 

Rub it on your hands whenever you think of it.

I used a pre-mixed blend of Rosemary, Peppermint and Lemon pure essential oils.

It didn't take long to whiz up but not sure it went as thick and creamy as I expected - maybe my egg yolk was too small....

I had the perfect little glass decanter in the cupboard - I used to use a lot of essential oils and was always mixing a blend for "something".  I decided to put some on my feet as well as my hands as they need just as much help.

Now it's onto some edible whizzing - red velvet cupcakes here I come.
