New things to play with :)

So excited that my delivery of new ingredients has arrived today (after not receiving it yesterday when the delivery driver tried to deliver it to the wrong house. Grrr)! They are so pretty:

The oils at the back from left to right are jojoba oil (supposed to be very similar to the oils naturally produced by our skin so very easily absorbed for deep moisturisation), blackcurrant seed oil (good for strengthening nails and softening cuticles - wonder if someone may be interested about my plan for this ;) ) and carrot oil (a natural colourant which is also rich in vitamins. Will only be using in small amounts though - don't want to make anyone orange :) ). The bottle on the far right is coffee bean essential oil. It smells AMAZING!!! Possibly some choca mocha soap... I'm also waiting on some coffee butter to go with it, which as well as smelling beautiful is supposed to feel lovely on your skin.

The packets in front are (from the left) apricot, banana, strawberry, mango and honey powders which smell yummy. I am planning to have a go at making face/hand/foot masks as they are really rich in vitamins and try them as another possible natural colourant for soaps. Watch this space...
