~Homemade Extracts For Baking~
Take a clean baby food jar.
Fill it with Vodka.
Drop a Cinnamon Stick or 2, or some Mint Leaves, or a Vanilla Bean (from any health food store (the beans may be either squishy or leathery, I've got them both ways)), into the baby food jar (with the Vodka).
*if using a Vanilla Bean, peirce the skin with a knife or fork and the Vodka will Actually Suck the very Meat / Pulp out <3
Cover tightly and place in a cool, dark drawer or cabinet for about 2 (two) weeks.
Now you have POWERFULL, All Natural, PURE Extracts.
They add water to that shiz at the store ..
~Homemade Lip Gloss~
1/4 Cup Olive Oil.
1 Tablespoon Jelly / Jam / Fruit Preserves (Any flavor or combination of flavors that you like!).
In a medium sized saucepan, slowly heat the Olive Oil over a low heat.
When the Olive Oil is warm, add the Jelly / Jam / Fruit Preserves.
Stir slowly until the Jelly / Jam / Fruit Preserves are completely Disolved into the Olive Oil.
Store Lip Gloss in a clean, dry Baby Food Jar or Pretty Crystal Vial. :3
