I love happy accidents. Usually my accidents don't have happy endings. Once I tried a new cake recipe and it called for more salt then I thought it should. It came out perfect until you took a bite. Who knew that people lie on the internet? It even had good reviews.
Did you know that a ninth century Chinese alchemist was trying to make an elixir for eternal life but found out when you mix salt peter, sulfur and charcoal you don't get immortality, you get gunpowder?
Recently my hubby and son went to a car race. They came home with fun memories and a terrible sunburn. I looked online and made them some sunburn spray. It also worked as an anti itch spray for bug bites. I asked them if it helped their sunburns and they said they guess they weren't sure. I love these guys but sometimes they drive me crazy. One evening I had been out in the garden and got a few mosquito bites. After taking a shower I decided to use the spray on my arms and legs. I few minutes later I had cold chills. It definitely had a cooling sensation. I have used the spray a few times for mild hot flashes. I am so glad that my mixing things did not end with anyone blowing up.
Cooling Spray
8 drops peppermint oil
8 drops lavender oil
4 ounces witch hazel
Shake well with each use. Can be used on sunburn, bug bites or to just cool off.
