WOW! This comes out heavenly! What great ingredients. It's easy to just dump everything into a blender or food processor, too. I made it for my mother's birthday - and will let you know what she thinks. -
I love trying new things for the skin as mine is particularly sensitive. I find in the summer time my legs can look like aligator skin if I don't watch my skin carefully. I quite loved this mixture. All the ingredients in this mixutre absolutely love the skin. Do watch that the oatmeal is finely grounded though. I also keep handy a fine foot paddle (the one you get at the Body Shop) to help sloth off dead skin. The only downfall is that you get a messy bath....but oh well, the things we have to do for good skin!!!

I'm a wildlife carer, bird enthusiast, gardener, scrapbooker, coffee connoisseur, writer, reader, camper, aromatherapy-and-herbal-enthusiast, maker of homemade natural skincare and vegetarian.
A good day for me used to involve a bit of gardening, reading (while lazing in a hot bath eating grapes), listening to some music and whipping up some culinary delights for dinner...
Since becoming a mother, days revolve around The Wiggles, making up bottles, preparing various baby-friendly meals and washing (etc...) ... but (here's the cliche): It's all worth it, though. (see pic of my son, William.)

I live on a dairy farm in the Hunter Valley with my partner and baby. I have four big parrot aviaries and absolutely love birds - everything about them makes me happy. I can sit for hours in the back yard just watching the birds go about their lives.
I love to look after animals. I've been a licensed wildlife rescuer and carer for four years now. The native wildlife of my country is so precious, and it is such an honour to be able to care for such beautiful creatures when they need a helping hand. My dream is to buy a peaceful bushland property, away from the populous, where I can keep huge aviaries and rehabiliate injured and orphaned native critters.

Fitness hs become a big part of my life, ie. going to the gym for circuit training, walking, jogging and swimming. I've finally realised that the body is such an amazing thing - how I cringe when I think of how I (mis)treated myself in my youth!!
Sometimes I love to have lazy days, lounging around the house reading, watching horror or comedy movies, writing in my journal - oh, wait, that was before I had William!! :D Most of the time, I prefer to be out hiking, swimming or walking. The next thing I'd like to do is buy a bike so I can go cycling. The area where I live is perfect for it - flat country with farming pastures, close to bushland with amazing scenery.
