Hi all,

even though I've posted on a few topics already, I thought I'd put something here!

My name is Kelly, I'm from sunny London, and I've been interested in making my own bath products and cosmetics ever since I randomly bought a book called 'Beauty Magic - 101 Recipes, Spells and Secrets'.
From there, I went hunting down some basic ingredients, and stumbled upon GF. I then found SB and Aromantics, and spent far too much money. I found some good recipes, and made my own recipe folder [before actually trying anything out  Roll Eyes - I like to be organised..].

So far, I've made Sweet Cherry lip balm, bath milk with ground oatmeal and Rose Otto EO, bath salts with Patchouli leaves and Patchouli EO, and I'm in the process [yep, right this minute] of making some whipped Shea with Caramel FO, it's currently in the freezer  Grin

I've just paid to do the basics course by Aromantics, which I'll be doing in November.

I've been into herbs and herbal medicine for a while, and making healing creams really appeals to me. I'm just looking to make things for friends and family, but in the future, who knows? Smiley

Welcome Kelly!

Polly, we don't really bite.. we just nibble a bit  :mwaha:

My hubs is also from London (NW) but we live in Ireland (until we make millions and then we're living in the sun).

Two things to note here - you HAVE to post pictures, you will be flogged otherwise ... and the more you post, the more boards will open up for you and the more info you'll have at your fingertips.

I was a little  Shocked that you bought Rose Otto EO ... eek that must've been pricey and then some!!
