beautiful creativity

I had a wonderful day yesterday.

Meaghan and I spent the day at the park with the girls, who loved being outside.

We played, ate lunch, we read books about organic skin care and went for a long walk.

Meg and I then divulged into our creative world and made some all natural homemade body washes and oils.

We created out own scents.

Mine was a blend of ylang ylang, lavender, and patchouli. It is a very calming and relaxing scent. I called it 'simply breath'.

Meg made one with lemongrass and Mandarin. Hers is very uplifting and energizing. I am not sure what she called hers, but I like the name 'wake up with the sun', as hers is a very uplifting scent.

We were going to 'le nordik' with my Mom and Emily, so we decided to bring our homemade wash and  oils with us.

First off, le nordik was wonderful.

Exactly what I needed.

And secondly bringing our homemade products was a wonderful idea.

I woke up this morning and my skin feels amazing.

Soft and smooth (even my hands!)

Mom and Emy seemed to enjoy them as well.

That made us feel good :)

Next project, make a baby balm for my kids!

Seems I have found another outlet to feed my creative juices to :)

Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.  ~Norman Podhoretz

Have a wonderful day!
