everything is Far Too Much but today I'm making a batch of soap, a batch of salves, & a couple of pendulums, & maybe doing some sewing

[silvercat17]

*hugs* if you want them

[kellan_the_tabby]

Gladly accepted & reciprocated!

\also offers hugs

what scents, if any, are you using in your soaps and salves?

[kellan_the_tabby]

*accepts them happily*

The soap is Wicked Girls -- rose, myrrh, & a little bit of spearmint -- & the salve is Bite, Sting, & Rash, which has infused plantain, burdock root, dandelion, chickweed, comfrey, & peppermint. Possibly another thing that I've forgotten. It's a drawing salve, so it'll help pull out splinters in addition to helping bug bites not suck so much.

[icecheetah]

Wicked Girls sounds like it'd smell lovely to me. And almost tasty. Rose is one of my favourite flavours. The salve sounds like it'd be useful here, and it's quite possible I'd be able to get all of those but the burdock root just growing wildly nearby!

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yeah, most of those are pretty easy to find if you live in the right part of the world!

[icecheetah]

What about where you are? Can you just find them in the wild?

[kellan_the_tabby]

I've found plantain, but it's all growing right next to the road so it's all car-fumey. & there are dandelions but not enough to get more than a couple leaves. The rest, I don't know -- I'm in New Mexico & I'm not near as familiar with the plants around here as I was in PA. I'm learning them but it's slow going.

[icecheetah]

Oh! I've been to new mexico! A long time ago... .

Good luck! I can't imagine finding these things being easy.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yeah it's ... really different plants. & I mean everything else, too.

hope you get better!
