Create a Website Guide&8230; 3 Simple Homemade Lip Balms - Your Lips've Never Been Yummier Three Amigo Lip Balms Waiting for a homemade lip balm to set up is a little like developing a Polaroid. You stand there and watch. And then you touch. And then you watch. So my first recommendation when making your own homemade lip balm: Pour it in your container and walk away. Seriously. These are the three homemade lip balm recipes that I’ve enjoyed the most over the past couple of years. One is made with lavender essential oil, one has a main ingredient of coconut oil, and the last … well, it’s peppermint-chocolatey goodness. Now, with all these recipes, you can substitute whatever essential oils you have on hand (or prefer). This recipe uses honey, which gives the balm a heavenly taste. Note: This lip balm is relatively soft, but I think it would hold up just fine if you wanted to pour it in a clean lip balm tube. Luscious Lavender Lip Balm Recipe Warm the oils, beeswax and honey in a small, stainless steel pot or bowl. More About the Color It was lovely! You know what else? Big love!

30+ Search Engine Optimization Techniques You Cannot Miss You completed a web site for your business about three months ago, but you are still not seeing very many people visiting your web site.

Can they survive as entrepreneurs, and do they have the passion it takes to run a startup and attract investors? My own perspective is that the recession has been good for Gen-Y (Millennials), because it has forced them to face reality, often for the first time in their life.

But I’m happy to report that I see more and more of them impressively stepping up to the entrepreneurial plate. It now reminds me of previous generations, per the qualms raised about Gen-X back about 20 years ago, and about the Baby Boomers some 20 years before that. We should look ahead to capitalize on evidence of the positive attributes of Gen-Y from a business perspective, including the following:
