The essential oil of peppermint is one of the most useful and home friendly essential oils. It really makes spaces feel clean and airy.  The essential oil of peppermint can be diffused into a room if you want to feel energised with focus and clarity.  Personally, I have found this essential oil to be particularly useful during perimenopause on those days when energy levels are very low and there is brain fog.  In this project, we are harnessing the power of both peppermint and spearmint to control the oil on the face. We are creating a facial soap bar with...

While this recipe uses carrot seed essential oil which is considered to offer some sun protective...

For me, less is more when it comes to creating luxury, handmade soaps. I particularly like the feel of Goat's Milk Soaps and decided to create an entire line of Tobago Goat's Milk Soaps which contain no artificial ingredients. The greatest benefit is that these soaps are what can be described as "clean" with no artificial colourants or fragrances. They are therefore, perfect for those persons who are experiencing the pains of hormonal imbalance. Clean skin care is the healthiest way to go.  Of course, I source the Goat's Milk right here in Tobago from AT Farms Limited because I...

Recently, I've had quite a number of customers call me to purchase either wax or wicks for their candle making projects. It is interesting that it's become the norm for customers to quote codes when referencing wax or wick types.  I even noticed a quiet frustration when I tell customers that I can't advise on codes as codes are attached to particular manufacturers.  I have always mixed my own waxes for use in the hotter environment of the Caribbean.
