Just Another Snow Day

As my partner in property esthetics and I walked tonight, the drifting was just unbelievable. Here is a list of road closures in our area: Taken from the CKNX website, the best one around here for figuring out if you are actually going to make it to a destination in Midwestern Ontario: http://www.am920.ca/news. Honestly, since my favourite website went down, that included County Road 4, this is the only one that reports not only on municipal roads, but the county ones. On the MTO site, we don't exist north of Clinton normally. This had to be the craziest weather ever! Great if you didn't have to drive anywhere. So Midwestern Ontario is shut down.

Why on earth would someone do that, honestly, the whole property, which is grass, is snowblown. Odd. My eldest daughter and I made lipgloss last night. Absolutely natural, without additives that are nasty. Beeswax 1tbs Shea Butter 2tsp Coconut Oil 3 tsp Pigment (mica, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides) (about 1/4 tsp, depending how much pigment you want). I retail mineral cosmetics, so, at least I have a source. These are without the dreaded Bismuth, Bare Minerals have the Bismuth, which can be an irritant. It's a touch and go process, you can add essential oils, after melting (about two minutes, checking at 30 second intervals and stirring. We used cinnamon essential oil and clove essential oil. Those plump your lips. My whole house smells like I have been slaving away making some wacky cookies, or something, but we were making cosmetics.
