What I am not wearing!

So last weekend Breton had a hockey game at the Nepean Sportsplex.  He has to be there a half hour before the game so that left Daphne and I with a little time on our hands.  We checked out the cat show.

Um interesting group.  And the cats too were quite unique.  Unusual breeds, one that looked like a leopard and the grey and white striped one you see on the Whiskas commercial. Also the freaky fur less breeds.

What I won't wear is a cat sweater, cat earrings or a cat necklace, all seen at the cat show:)

Even a few crazie Cat Ladies.

I love our Vanilla but I am not extreme.

I love that after six years together Ruby and Vanilla are best buddies and they even cuddle together now.

Breton asked us if we saw Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys at the cat show:


We didn't but I think we saw his Mom, Aunt, sister and cousin.

Don't put it on your toast!!!

Each year in my class we have to come up with a gift for the mamas for Mother's Day... This year we made body butter:)

I found this Pin:


But so you don't have to go look it up this is how you make it:)

You need:

1 cup coconut oil
An essential oil (add as much as you'd like to scent your butter). 
1 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)

Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat together for 6-7 minutes on high.  A Kitchen Aid mixer works best but you can use a hand held mixer too.

It should whip up and become light and frothy.  Store it in an airtight container.  It will melt when it makes contact with your skin but rub in nicely.  Not too greasy:). It may harden after time but still can be used.  If it becomes too liquidy you can put it in your fridge.

Miss Robyn's Version

For my trial batch, before making it with my class, I used 1 cup of coconut oil but for the scent I used vanilla you would bake with (a capful).  I didn't use any vitamin E.

I love it!!! Literally you could eat it...

Have fun with it;)
