Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Make Your Own...


Fruity Lip Gloss! It may sound odd but solid shortening is fabulous on chapped dry skin. If you ski or just live in an area with wind and cold you may find this homemade lip gloss helpful. You can use plain shortening on your lips but why not color it to your favorite shade? This is also great to use on your children's lips before they go out to play in the snow or wind.

2 Tbsp. solid shortening
1 Tbsp. fruit-flavored powdered drink mix (kool-aid etc)
35 mm film container or other small container

Mix shortening and drink mix together in a microwave safe bowl until smooth.
Place in microwave on high for 30 seconds until mix becomes liquid.
Pour into a clean, small airtight container.

Place mix into fridge for 20-30 minutes or until firm.
