Honey Face Cream

I have been making my own face cream for 3 years now. I also make it for my mom, mother-in-law and a few others. Everyone who has tried it, loves it. Well, I am finally going to try and sell it! I ordered some labels, which I am in love with. I hope everyone likes it as much as we do!

I wanted to incorporate some honey in the pictures.

What do you think about the labels?

This is a big step for me! I never planned on selling it, but it is worth a try. If they don't sell, I will have great gifts!

There are 3 main ingredients in the face cream that make it so amazing!

Honey ~ Honey has the ability to attract and maintain moisture. The skin's ability to stay moist is an important factor in its ability to maintain softness, suppleness and elasticity.

Shea Butter ~ Shea Butter is known for its softening and restructuring virtues. It also aids in the prevention of stretch marks and delays aging. It is a natural sunscreen.

Vitamin E ~ Vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents radical damage to skin tissue. It also conditions and moisturizes the skin.

I am having a Holiday Sale in my studio now. You can find the face cream listing here http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2417483.

Enjoy!

Friday Feature ~ Diane's Dangles

Meet Diane of Diane's Dangles! Diane began her crafting journey through making beaded earrings. She realized it was a great stress reliever from her day job. Diane creates jewelry that really "pops" and has lots of color. I love her studio! It is so bright and welcoming. It is very hard to choose just a few favorites! Visit her studio and you will see for yourself! From her gallery of personal pictures on Artfire, I can see Diane travels quite a bit. She probably draws a lot of inspiration from these adventures. I know I would!

Square Hematite Gemstone Fine Silver Dangle Earrings ~ I have never seen a pair of earrings quite so unique. Add these to my Christmas wishlist!

Brown Tiger Eye Large Gemstone Sterling Pendant ~ This necklace is AMAZING! It is so rich in color and the sterling silver really brings it out.

Square Seraphinite Gemstone Sterling Silver Ring ~ I love how this ring looks like it has the ocean in it. I get a calm feeling while looking at it.

Bold Sterling Silver Hammered Cuff Bracelet ~ Can you believe this is handmade? It is beautiful! I wish I could make things like this!

I hope you will visit Diane's studio at http://dianesdangles.artfire.com/. I have enjoyed looking through her shop and finding some amazing jewelry!
