I've ordered from bulkactives before; great service and product.But I just wandered over to texasnaturalsupply and was blown away by the prices and selection!! Now I'm all excited about the body butters (green tea butter? coffee butter? yay!!)

So have fun and take a load off..play with some 'girly' stuff (or guy stuff, equal opportunity)! :)

the whole rainy day spent browsing the herbal cosmetic world. I'm definitely going back to lildreamers list again and again. ASAH is such a wonderful place to come. What a great group of virtual friends.

12. I am waiting for my next check`

so I can go to SkinActives and give them lots of it! I love the idea of making my own sking care products. I'm working on my formulas so I can have it all together next week. Thanks. I love this list. I spent an entire rainy Sunday going through the whole thing.

13. My fave...

for formulas (and of course YMMV) is the ebook I paid for at smartskincare.com. He explains in detail why you need to formulate things the way he instructs (for example, making sure your C serum is stable for as long as possible); which I find very helpful.I make my own C serum and am getting ready to make a Niacinamide cream and a CoQ10 one also.

Essential Day Spa forums also has an extensive DIY formula recipe section.

Have fun!!
