Babycakes: Honey Butter

Babycakes friends!

I've decided to sell the holding "wax" I make

for those who are looking for an all-natural alternative

to store-bought braid and twist gels.

It's made with raw cocoa butter, natural beeswax, and an oil blend.

I don't scent the Honey Butter...

its natural scent is pleasant and doesn't linger.

I use it for braids, twists, any kind of flat-twist/braid and for re-curling the little pieces at the hairline 

that I don't force into the style.

It's also great for super dry knees, elbows and heels!
It has healed my peeling cuticles like a miracle!!

(It's not meant to be an all over moisturizer like Babycakes: Hair and Body Butter

since it contains higher levels of solids that don't absorb quickly.)

An 8 ounce jar is $18

and I hope to be shipping by 

Oct. 13th!

Lots of love, dear Babycakes friends!

October!

Happy Fall everyone!
It's in the air here - leaves turning fiery red, cool nights, dark outside by dinner time...
Before we know it, we will be in the super busy holiday season!!

I asked on my facebook page for some scent suggestions for October,
and the general consensus was that it should be something pumpkin/spice/fall like.

Well... I went to the health food store... looked around...
and didn't really find anything I thought I would want near my babycakes sweet faces.
Cinnamon oil can be really irritating to the soft tissues, clove oil numbs, and there was no pumpkin oil (well, there's pumpkin seed oil... but that's an actual oil, not an essential oil.)

SO.
After further deliberation,
I went with an actual soap/lotion scenting blend from the craft store.
This isn't organic...
but I only use a few drops per jar.

I found....

Cinnamon Spice!

It's not too "loud" and I think it has just the right blend of scents to make it fall-ish, but not smell like someone made a wreath out of those scented pinecones at the front of the store!

Also...
I have changed the style of my 8 ounce jars!!
I know it's hard to get the last bit out of those tall skinny jars...
so now, I'm using a short, fat jar instead!
I think they are adorable!!

Old style center-top, new style lower left! 

It may take me a few days to get your orders out...

I'm waiting on another shipment of butters so I can whip up a new batch! 

I do have 6 (8oz) jars of natural scent in stock though... so I can ship that today!

Happy Fall, babycakes!!
