Another newbie

[Wendi R]

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking and have read some wonderful things so I decied to join. I have been making soap, lotions, etc. for 20 plus years. My hair has been a pixie cut to down to my buns. Right now I am mid-way neck length. I also use henna and have been for 20 years. My broher-in-law goes to India twice a year for work and always brings me back wonderful treats. BTW I am a florist and have an extensive herb garden that I use for cooking, facial/body products and even some limited distillation. If I can help anyone with any questions in those areas, just let me know.


Thanks in advance for all the fun.

I have 2 really big weddings this weekend and I will be unable to focus on anything else for a few days. Of course both of my brides have wanted spring flowers instead of what is in season, so I am kinda freaking out. I will tell you how I and my DH have set up the garden and hopefully find some of the pix I took this summer when everything was happy. I have had some computer crashes and I do not know if the computer tech was able to retrieve the pixs. I will let yall know.

Hi Wendi,

Welcome to LHC. :) Love the sound of your herb garden. I too have begun making my own hair and hand lotions / oils. I have a question for you re: herbs. How do you distill oil from the herb or flower petal? Presently I have to buy all my essential oils, but would love to learn this skill. ;)
