pain support

I have been suffering from migraines for years now and i really feel all the synthetic fragrances were just triggering more and more.. I love the smell of every thing i was a product junkie myself but now i am throwing it all away.. making my own.. going back to the basics of natural products.. i can share recipes if you like but any kind of support for pain sufferers is important and this is one way i take my mind off my pain.. i have fibromyalgia too... so i like to do something that keeps the mind off the pain.. i want to get my friends over and keep having these parties as long as my pain allows me to but i am determined to follow through.. living with chronic pain and having dreams is hard to mesh together at times..........

Migraine sufferering dont want synthetic fragrances in my body wash anymore! making my own!

So I have been doing research for over two years now.. I have this great idea about my own business and now i am finally gonna go for it.. but before i go into that part. .. i have been finding out more and more about all the harsh chemicals in bath products and its really made me just want to go back to the basics and start clean again.. i am ready to throw away all the cleaning products.. they really are horrible..
In the 17thand 18th centuries, every large household had a still-room for makig perfumes and potions,scents , soaps, scented washballs and skin lotions.
Herbal cosmetics are simple to make at home and can be as effective and maybe even cheaper (depending where you get the bases etc ) and at least cost the same as commercial products.
So I have been gathering all of my ideas to have my own parties and have friends come over to make our own soaps washes and body scrubs etc.. I think it will be good to get friends together and have fun and also get something out of in the end where we feel good we are taking care of ourselves.. all these washes and detergents etc are loaded with harsh chemicals and what got me started on the whole thing was that i suffer from migraines. ever had a bad migraine and tried to shower with a strong smelling body wash? its horrible.. makes your head pound harder!!!
So now i am going to try to start slowly, experiment and have fun in the meantime but also spread the word to people out there.. if we all spread the word just how bad these chemicals are any little bit can make a difference and maybe we can share recipes too.. if you are like me and want to keep making your own products then please let me know what kind of things you make and we can help support each other on our journey to educate the world on how crazy it is that we read labels on our food what we put into our body.. how about reading labels on what we put on our body that is being absorbed..
