So, I have been working on a post for my blog today, but the Superbowl has been distracting me! What a game, right? First overtime in Superbowl history! Anyway, I am finishing up my post on lip balm. Right now, I am editing the image for the post. For the recipe, you combine equal parts beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter (1T) and microwave in a measuring cup in 30 second increments until it is completely melted. Then add two vitamin E capsules (I poked a hole in them with a safety pin and squeezed it out) and as much vanilla oil as desired. Then, pour into lip balm pots or tubes. I put some cake sprinkles in some of them, and my little girl loved it. I have also made it with other oils, like rose and lavender. So much fun!

Do you make them just for your own personal use or do you sell them as well?

I made them for ourselves and friends, but I was thinking about selling them on Etsy. What do you think:?
