Okay - so not really revenge - perhaps "Goat Milk Lotion strikes again" lol :) It's not a bad thing though, just tedious with a LOT of dishes when I am done!
First of all, since I DO put milk in my lotion, I don't like to make a ton all at once and leave it sitting around. Unlike soap which gets harder and better with time, lotion DOES have a shelf life. So I try to only make about 50 bottles of it at a time. I may be bumping that up a bit since it moves pretty fast at the market though...we will see....Anyways, like I was saying...
Yes, I also put a preservative in there (phenonip if you were wondering). But still, nothing lasts forever you know? So I don't make more than what will last me a few weeks when I make lotions. However...this leads to TONS of dishes on a lotion day!
I have a lotion for almost every soap scent I make - not every single one, but pretty close. I have found people like having a lotion to match the soap they use....and this means 5 - 10 bottles of each fragrance every time I make more lotions. Of course I'm not TOTALLY daft...I make a LARGE batch, then portion it out into smaller parts to scent and bottle....not a million little batches. At least it saves me time on weighing and measuring and melting everything ya know?
So...today is a "Lotion Strikes Again" day. It's raining anyways, so at least if the power goes out I can stop what I am doing and come back later...lotion is pretty forgiving like that :) But...I DO have about 50 bottles to get crack-a-lacking at.....
