Anyone know a good brand that sells natural lip tinted lip balms?
Thank you! I ran out of hand soap received as a gift a while ago and wanted to replace it.. but couldn't shake the thought that I was likely wasting my money at the store! Now I can have fun with a new recipe, and feel good about saving some $$s :)
Hello there... I am so looking forward to making this Salve with my Calendula flowers, thank you!! You have a Garden... What is your favorite herb to grow??
"Drop the kids off at the pool" lmao
Thank you so much for this info! I've been using Bumble& Bumble dry spray shampoo in Blondish. Expensive/toxic. Can't wait to play with this customizable DIY! 😍💯
Are you still getting mightynest monthly?
I love your video, I did the same thing for sucking air out
LOVE AND ALOHA FROM HAWAII 🌺🌺🌺
Can this recipe be doubled or tripled? Also, how long will it last? Thank you so much for the video. Looks fantastic.
Could you remove the liquid with a salad spinner?
Unfortunately, no. It takes a bit of force to squeeze out the water.
35 minutes in my book not 10.
This is adapted from an official Ball recipe which processes 10 min, adjusting for altitude, for pint jars. Hope that helps! www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=hot-peppers
🙏🏻🌹
Thank for sharing
Thank you I will be doing this tomorrow
Hey there :) Do you need to dry it first?
You could use it fresh or dried!
Do you have to redo. Does the smell come back in time or is the smell gone forever??
It will probably come back after a while if you use it for whatever caused the odor in the first place. For me it’s usually garlic/onion-y food.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, thanks a bunch!
Wish I had a stand mixer for this my arthritis doesn't like a normal mixer. 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
Hi . How can I get more fluff I find mine seems rather thick ! I feel that the product would go further if more floofy 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing recipe ty! I use an herb infused grapeseed oil ( plantain) has Amazing benefits for the skin .
Thank you!
Thank you for the video
Elise about 50 years ago I had a huge garden and a Hugh crop of tomatoes! I washed them, dried them and popped them in the freezer, as is. I put them directly into the pot or skillet. They cooked down like mashed or stewed tomatoes. The core usually separated in the process and easily was spooned out. I got this method from a senior farm lady at her vegetable stand. That means that my method of freezing tomatoes has been around at least a hundred years!
Wow! Thanks for the tip and the great story!
It’s fizzing because the vinegar is neutralising the bicarb this rendering it useless
Another new gardener not wanting to screw it up, thank you for this- i'll rewatch this a few times i am certain
Good luck with your garden!
As a gardener for over 20 years, I can tell you that even in year 10, 12 and 20....you will still screw things up. Take this advice....HAVE FUN with your garden, give yourself a lot of slack, you're human and you're trying to do something good. There will be successes and failures and although some will be your fault, many will be because nature tends to win. Don't be too hard on yourself, just keep on learning from everything you do (and don't do) because every decision and every non-decision will have a lesson you can use for your next season's garden. Overall.....just don't give up, you can do it and you will succeed ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this, I would love to also receive more tips of how to make spruce tips candies. Mine don't work out all the time and every year.
Should be on heat for a week, not a day. Read Making Plant Medicine by Richo Cech.
Hi!!! I'm not a fan of the Shea butter smell. Can I use mango butter or cocoa butter? Will it come out too greasy if I use one of those as a replacement of shea?
Mango or cocoa butter should work great!
@@TheCrunchyGinger thank you
Thank you , so glad I found this formulation. I can’t wait to try it.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9 KJV He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 KJV Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 KJV And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3 KJV In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22 KJV Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deuteronomy 4:39 KJV And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 KJV Time is short. “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” Isaiah 55:6 KJV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7 KJV Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Amos 5:14 KJV Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24:42 KJV Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mark 13:33 KJV I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:5 KJV And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 KJV Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 3:19 KJV Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22 KJV Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 KJV And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 KJV But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 2 Samuel 7:22 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Do you peel them?
I never do! Just run the whole thing through the food processor.
Thanks! I sort of remembered needing to use salt. After watching 20 minutes of "cleaning greens" vids, I found yours! You were the first to suggest the salt. I will subscribe!
lol I find it does a good job of getting the buggies and sluggies out fast!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Amazing video
I like you. Trying square foot gardening for the first time this year. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks! Good luck with your garden!
Can someone tell me for sure if this also works for the silicone ice cube trays?
Great info 👍🏾
Mixing sticks are free in McDonald's, can use them 😊
good suggestion!
Thank you so much..♥️ My hands need this
Came for the Crunchy Hippie Chick giving lessons on Shae Butter - stayed for the delightful 🚼 Baby-speak. Subbed bc the content was top-tier educational. Thanks for the Coo-Filled instructional Step-by-Step!❤
lol thanks so much! Much appreciated!
Thanks
Hi Ginger, I just watched your video and am impressed by your innovative approaches. I've designed a product called Silspa that makes cleaning silicone baking mats in the dishwasher a breeze. I think it could be a great fit for your style and would love to send you one to try out and see how it fits into your routine.
What about the marjoram? Divide it up the same way?
Yep! Same way.
Love your vacuum straw idea, im going to try that on the pile of Heirloom Tomatoes i have this year.
nice vid but I suggest you show the finished product after its set up. Just to see how it looks and how pliable it is. Thanks
Really great video. Truly filled with Useful Information. 😊
How could I add liquid magnesium to this recipe?
Safe to use if you have cats? I know there’s no direct contact- just concerned about essential oils in the air
Could I make this without whipping it?
