These are great recipes! Thanks a lot for the info, it really makes one think about what’s around us and what we are eating. I’ll try your creams, specially the last one for my teenage girls 😉
Have a Joyful Day!

I didn’t realise you’d been unwell for so long. Great that you’ve done all that research and worked out how to heal yourself. I try to reduce the amount of chemicals and toxins we have in our home as well and I never buy GMO foods – they have to be labelled here. Ridiculous that your foods aren’t labelled. I love your creams and would love to make them. I will try to pin them but I had trouble pinning your muffins yesterday and couldn’t get it to work. Will keep trying xx

Lovely recipes, thank you. How long is their shelf life and do they need to go in the fridge after opening?
Happy Holidays!

Hi Venetia! I’ve never had a batch go bad, but Ive always used them up within a few months. They will liquify if placed in an overly warm area. No need to refrigerate unless you live in a warm climate.

I totally agree with what you said, that’s why I’m planning to make some for my 4yo girl. I’m planning to make a batch my BFFs for this christmas, hope they’ll like it!

I absolutely agree and make mine too plus my own soap, and another very terrifying thing is suntan lotion, just wear a HAT! it worked since time immemorial and if you track the rise of skin cancer it has risen in direct relation to the rise in use of suntan lotions. Wear a hat and sleeves! Cheaper too!. Have a gorgeous day.. Your house must smell delicious when you are making the lotions..ps, do you have a fav lasagne recipe? Or a favourite gluten free laasagne pasta? c

There’s so many non-toxic natural things that work as good or better than synthetic, chemical products on the market. I think people are becoming more aware…I sure hope so.
So far I’ve only tried the Tinkyada gluten free lasagna noodles. They are a rice noodle (the blue package with rice bran) and very good. You can order them on Amazon if you can’t find them near you. Here’s my recipe for gluten free & dairy free lasagna, of course you can eat dairy so you can ignore the dairy free part! 🙂 https://gluten-free-zen.com/2011/03/13/gluten-free-dairy-free-lasagna/
