🌸🐝It’s that time of year again! 17 days until Imbolc, which is also known as Bridgid’s Day~a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of Spring and the Return of Light! This has become one of my favorite holidays, I just LOVE the energy around this particular festival! The candles, the snowdrops and the bread! 🐝I grew up next to my grandfathers honey farm so there was fresh honey round but there was NOTHING like the first honey of spring. You could taste the young flowers in the sweet golden syrup and I would smother my mothers homemade biscuits in butter and tons and tons of my grandfathers honey. Whenever I smell honey I am instantly brought back to when I was 6 years old, walking across my parents field that connected to my grandparents and I would walk through their tree farm and bee farms before getting to the from door which always smelled like fresh baked cakes, coconut cookies and coffee. I don’t think we had anything like wax melts back then but I know my grampie would get a kick out of these and probably shake his head when I told him what they were used for. Anyways. I need to get back to work but I thought I’d let you know that these are on the stove and I’ll have them listed on the shop soon! If you’re part bear like I am, you will go crazy over the aroma of these all natural beeswax melts! They are absolutely sublime! A small batch will be listed in the shop today!🐝🌸 SHOP LINK IN BIO! #beeswax #beeswaxproducts #beeswaxmelts #bee #bees #beesofinstagram #beeswax #beesknees #melts #aromatherapy #natural #organic #homemade #handmade #savethebees #imbolc #spring #gift #love #joy #thevelvetlotus (at Norwood, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEOZn5hOIW/?igshid=1dkld13eakrkw

Looks like something pretty delicious, right? Well, it is but don’t eat it - this is beeswax, almost ready to use for a lotion recipe I’m trying out 🐝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a combination of wax from my hive and that from my amazing bee mentor, Gary’s, hives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can’t even begin to say how satisfying it is to create your own beauty and cleaning products! These days, I make my own makeup remover wipes that get composted when used and my own tooth powder, that I can customize with all kinds of amazing ingredients - next will be a lemon verbena flavored one, given the bounty of leaves in the garden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Toothpaste, wipes, glass cleaner &,now hopefully, lotion or lip salve: less packaging, less transportation, more local ingredients, less plastic, less ingredients to wonder about, less trash, and finally, the sheer please of making something you use every day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve always been a bit of a mad scientist, mixing up potions and recipes using essential oils, flowers, herbs, so this is absolutely the natural progression and it feels good! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anybody else have some great concoctions to share?! . . . . #livesustainably #beeswax #backyardbeekeeper #environmentallyfriendly #weneedbees #nobeesnofood #homemadebeauty #growmoremagic #frommygarden #gardenideas #beeswaxproducts #makemoments #gardenherbs #beelover #welivetoexplore #thatauthenticfeeling #liveauthentic #feedyoursoull #sunsetmagazine #lifeandthyme #naturallifestyle #sustainableapld #gardendesignmag #sustainableliving #whpclassic #realsimple #sustainablegarden #rshome #bhghome #livemoremagic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (at Weeds Garden & Interior Design)

We refine our beeswax to make various beeswax candles. . Pillars, small beehives and hand dipped tapers. 🕯 . Beeswax candles clean your air when they burn, by neutralising negative ions (pollutants) in the air. . To me, beeswax candles naturally heal and are a type of therapy. They help me relax, shake the day off and breathe deeper. . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #beeswaxproducts #beeswax #beeswaxcandles #handpouredcandles #handmade #candles #candle #naturalcandles #healingcandle (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clzdum7hfgV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So excited! My first batch of homemade lotion, of lavender infused olive oil, flowers from garden and beeswax harvested from my hive and that of my great friend & #beek, Gary ❤️🐝❤️: A huge success! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cleaning the beeswax was probably the hardest part (more time consuming than hard, and very much hands off). ✨Once you have the wax, you just add it to olive oil and melt these two ingredients together slowly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finally, add this melted mixture slowly to some water while whipping with immersion blender at highest speed and it will emulsify into this 💥 beautiful 💥 thick 💥luscious 💥 sweet smelling 💥 unctuous lotion 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just because I have loads of lavender in the garden, I did a quick infuse of the flowers & stalks in the olive oil first by heating the oil so that it’s fairly warm and, turning off the heat, then allowing the lavender to infuse into the oil overnight... and guess what, I also now have leftover lavender olive oil which will be amazing in a vinaigrette! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The final water that I melted the beeswax in to clean it had such a gorgeous honey smell and surely loads of honey goodness, that I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so used that as the water for the lotion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Final result 💚💚💚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t wait to try the lemon verbena version! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course you could also buy the beeswax at a farmers market or online & do the same. My proportions were 2oz of beeswax, 1 cup infused olive oil, and one cup of water.
