70+ Ways You Can Use Beeswax in Every Aspect of Your Life

If you ever wanted to learn the easiest and fastest way to use Beeswax and enjoy the all its benefits then this book is for you.

Why do most people make the switch to beeswax-based products? Why bother making your own products? Why bother sourcing high-quality Beeswax or using natural oils to create these things?

The biggest benefit is that it’s natural and far healthier than the commercial alternatives. Go ahead, look at the ingredient list of common household products, like lotion bars, sunscreen, hand creams, or even shoe polish. Do you know most of these ingredients? Can you even pronounce them or say what they are there for? Of course not – most of us can’t.

★ I wanted to use healthier ingredients.

Switching to a healthier, more natural alternative creates a better, healthier household. You don’t have to use products you can’t pronounce, and you don’t understand how they even work. If you want to learn how to improve nearly every aspect of your home and life, keep reading – I’m here to help you!

I’m not a beekeeper, and I’ve never even handled a beehive, though I have visited a few. I get my Beeswax from local farms that raise bees themselves.

★ Despite that, I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the topic.

For over 10 years, I’ve made numerous household products. I don’t want to say I was a hipster, but I was certainly ahead of the ‘all-natural, organic’ wave that we’re going through right now.

In truth, I was fed up with products I didn’t really understand and the high prices associated with them. I wanted a natural alternative, and there really weren’t many at the time. Studies were starting to come out about the harmful effects of many everyday items we all use, and I wanted something more.

Lip Balm : 

• 1 1 oz pure, food-grade beeswax
• 2 2 oz organic food-grade coconut oil
• 1 tsp organic food-grade almond oil

• Combine the beeswax, coconut oil, and almond oil and heat slowly in a double boiler over low heat until liquified, stirring often. Use your candy thermometer to ensure the heat doesn’t pass 180 degrees.
• Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then add the vitamin E oil (if in capsule form, puncture each capsule and squeeze in the contents).
• Stir the mixture for 5 minutes, then add the essential oil.
• Stir again, then pour into individual containers.
• Let the lip balm set overnight before adding labels/using.

Diy Fairy garden planter

 Today in the garden I'm making fairy garden in a pot. 

It starts with a large open pot . Filled with soil and mulch. Then pick out small growing plants for background.

Then we hit the dollar store for small items to fill out our fairy garden.

A house, bench , fairy , stones or any decorations you choose.

Plants to use... 

Choose naturally tiny varieties of moss,ferns, trees and English boxwoods.

For color small violet and begonia.
