I'm so glad you dropped in for a visit, and hope you find something of interest on my blog. If so, I hope you will hit the FOLLOW button, and carry on this journey with me. It's always great to make new friends, and share our ideas and thoughts with each other. There is no telling what I will be getting myself into...just a fair warning...as I enjoy so many things! To name a few: I like drawing, painting, sketching, painting, wood burning, candle making, crocheting, canning, cooking, gardening, natural health, sharing thoughts and ideas, prepping for rainy days, and more. WHEW! I hope you enjoy it! And, I welcome any suggestions from you, as well.
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a designer (for DecoArt), and a artist (published a few times in magazines). I also have a bachelor's degree in Natural Health Science's. I have so many hobbies and things I dabble in, that I hope you find something of interest!

Natural Dog Soap Bars



Pet Soap For Our Little Buddies!
 
Recipe:
3 oz. Olive Oil (*I infused mine with flaxseed first and oatmeal, which helps with itchy skin)
3 oz. Coconut Oil (76 degree)
3 oz. Palm Oil
2 oz. Rice Bran
1 oz. Castor Oil
4 oz. Water
1.8 oz. Lye
0.17oz. Peppermint Essential Oil
0.17oz. Lemongrass Essential Oil
0.07oz Eucalyptus Essential Oil

(Note: you may use whichever essential oils you deem therapeautic or pleasing.  A few other good choices might be lavender or citronella.  You can also add a bit of glycerine for luster, shine, and softness)

Combine oils, then add lyed water solution to oils, stir til trace.  Put into fun molds, such as those shaped like dogs bones!

This idea came from a YouTube video by Soaping101.  Great stuff there!  I'll be making this one for my pup shown above.
