I've got a piercing too! *wiggles her belly-button hoop* I can't wear anything but a ring, though, right now. Pudge pulls bars at the wrong angle, and my jeans make it hurt.

Got an update on the vanilla mint sugar scrub I'm making(well made) for my sister in law. I went to whole foods to get the peppermint oil. I looked at a bottle of vanilla oil to but for like 0.2oz it was $20! that's the christmas gift budget all on it's own so I left it on the shelf. xd I used vanilla extract instead. It smells very yummy and leaves a faint minty smell on your skin.
so far cost has been: Glass jar = $2 (yay dollar store!) Sugar = $2 1 bottle of extra virgin olive oil = $4 Vanilla extract $2 (grandparents went to mexico and brought back a 1 liter bottle) Peppermint oil = $7
Total = $17
I made a huge batch, the whole bottle of olive oil about a cup of vanilla extract, 15 to 20 drops of peppermint oil the whole bag of sugar and about half a cup of water. Now Sister's jar is full and my jar got a top off xd
Now I need to decorate the jar.... maybe some holiday ribbons?

Lovely! heart You've certainly got enough scrub now! XD
I'll probably go the homemade way for presents this year, too. Just what, I don't know yet.

I have a wodden spoon for it too so when the oil seperates she can stir it up. I think I'm going to take a tiny nail and nail matching ribbon to the spoon.

Oh, that'd be lovely, painting the glass!
Hm. Actually, I think it'll be easy enough to make what needs made- I have a mother of three, her twelve year old daughter, her nine year old son (who'll get a toy or something) and her six year old daughter. I have a sassy grandmother, my own mom, husband and roommate. I have my dad, and I think really, that's about all- oh, my aunt and my grandmothers too... everyone else gets cards this year. XD
Speaking of, if anyone wants a Harvest card, let me know and PM me your address! I have some lovely cards to send out to my herbal friends!

For your husband you could always seduce him. xd >> Oh, that reminds me. Anyone have any ideas for anything to stimulate the libido of the body and mind? Aroma or no! XD I'm getting desperate. My body is all "Psh. Forget sex." and my mind's just going "Okay, then." Saaaave me!

I Know! *runs off to grab her "miracle food cures from the bible" book* It says in here that garlic (that kyoki and I have cloves trying to grow friends) increases sexual powers. It actually stimulates an erection in men. (No wonder Italians are know as "Italian Stalion" xd ) Cook a big yummy feast for you hubby and use lots and lots of garlic. Something I find helps with me when I get in those slumps is think of time that were really good. ^_^ works for me 99.9% of the time

And if you're going for scented stimulants, try rose, ylang ylang, sandalwood, or some other musky smell. It's earthy and sensual in nature, so it tends to really spruce up sex. Not to mention that once you link that smell with sex, any time you or he smell it, you'll instantly feel revved and ready to go. blaugh

I have a wodden spoon for it too so when the oil seperates she can stir it up. I think I'm going to take a tiny nail and nail matching ribbon to the spoon. I wouldn't suggest a wooden spoon. Wood absorbs oil , so the instant you stick it in your oil, it will soak into the spoon and that will cause your spoon to crack and split when it's dry. Kinda like a wooden rolling pin after it's been run through the dishwasher too many times. Metal, plastic or ceramic spoons are much better. Ceramic is the best.

>> I dun like garlic. Terrible for an herbalist to say, right!
And he doesn't need help. XD Ugh. I think it might be psych issues, but I'm not going to the shrink. Not because I don't believe in psych helo! I've got nothing against them except their 900 buck an hour fees. XD
Soooo... Hm. *contemplates and goes to research* I wonder, though.

hmmm *scratches garlic idea* Hmmmm. I'll think some more and see what I can think of.
The sugar scrub went over great! I didn't have time to get another spoon, but Robin said it was ok though since wooden spoons are great "Boards of education". she has four kinds kids (oldest is 10 (i think) and youngest is 4 months) and they can get a little rowdy. She loved the smell. So did both of her girls.... I have a feeling they're going to get into it.
I agree with AisilnnTheoron about linking the smell of something to sex get's ya revved up and ready to go. I'm that way with one of my husband's cologne (sp?). I'll just say "first time" and leave it at that. 3nodding
