Cyn, so you’ve been having about 32C weather… Central air? Air conditioning? In my house at the moment, it is 31C, and I feel as if life itself has been sucked out of me. My kitchen has hardly seen any action of late- I tried creating a new Citrus Burst Line to test out over the summer as the Cucumber Mint Rocked my face, but was sweating so bad a bead of sweat dribbled off my nose and landed in the funnel. Yup. Had no idea how to preserve that ingredient so used it for a few days then tossed it.
I started out with Ariannes public recipe for Body Scrubs and changed them to suit living in China needs but kept the stuff thats in there to suspend and thicken. Swapped liquid oils for liquid oils kind of thing. I remade a batch of her recipe again to see if maybe my melting issue was because of the oils and such I swapped with. It was kind of funny. The coconut oil rises within a few minutes of stirring. I then tried a bunch of various thickening stuff- my new love ceytl alcohol, fail. Cocoa butter, fail. Candelilla wax, fail. More sugar/salt, fail. More stearic acid, fail. Carnuba wax, fail.So I guess summers in China, are for pick up only!!! BWHAHAHAHAA!
