All Natural Homemade Sunscreen. This is a recipe for all natural homemade sunscreen, without zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. A few years ago, I created this Instructable that shows you how to make your own sunscreen using these ingredients. In response to many comments I'd been getting on it, I decided to offer a TD/ZO alternative, with all natural elements. You can actually eat most of the ingredients! Carrot seed oil's high carotol content gives it its skin-rejuvenative properties, and can directly reduce the damaging effects of UV rays.
Avocado oil, sesame oil and shea butter contain a low SPF sunscreen. Ingredients: NOTE: avoid using citrus oils, such as bergamont, orange, lemon or lime. *Even though Borax is used as a food ingredient in some countries, it is banned for such use in the US, and can be harmful if ingested in large doses. Tools:Directions: Combine the sesame, avocado, jojoba, and almonds oils, shea and cocoa butters, and beeswax in a microwave-safe container and heat until just melted. Enjoy!

Projects You Should Totally Do: Tiny Succulent Cork Planters. {Image Source} UPDATE: We finally tried this project and it's as easy as it looks! Check out the simple tutorial. I must admit when a friend mentioned this idea to me a few weeks ago I crinkled my nose, all I could think about is moldy cork with a plant growing out of it. Of course a few days later this beautiful image floated across my computer screen, and I was immediately smitten by this sweet cluster of succulents.
While I'm still adhering to my doctors orders for more bedrest, I thought I'd try to convince you that you should totally take on this project partly because it's awesome and partly so I can live vicariously through your creative endeavors!

Here’s what you’ll need: 1. Measure the height and circumference of your jar, and cut strips of fabric to roughly fit (approx. 1cm wide – doesn’t have to be perfect). 2. In your small cup, pour in some glue and dilute it with a bit of water (about 1:2), mix well. It should be the consistency of slightly thicker water.. yes, I know I’m being vague but it shouldn’t make much difference to the end result. 3. Note: – I find that it’s ok to have fabric going above the top of your jar because it can be easily cut off after it’s dried. – I don’t mind the look of the overlapping lines of fabric once the candle is lit, but if you do try not to overlap the strips in the gluing process. ** Please only use only battery operated tea-lights (not real candles).

Et voilà! Photographed by Maia Schoenfelder.
