 I've been asked to concoct recipes for a body- and then a face-moisturizing oil for someone with acne-prone, sensitive skin that gets irritated really easily and ping-pongs between dry & flakey and oily depending apparently on the aspects of the Fuck You asteroid to the planets. This is... really not gonna be difficult considering I've been given a set of 11 base oils and a whole crapton of essentials to work with, but is gonna take some researching. 

While I'm at it I might just concoct a new face oil for myself, I've been using a fairly good natural-based commercial moisturizer, and it's quite acceptable, but it's not as good as my old sweet almond & jojoba blend. 

Incense-blend project's been coming along, but I'm kind of stalled out on the latest blend I'm wanting to put together. It needs something else added, but I'm not sure what. Might be something I don't have on hand though, which... makes trying to guess a little extra tricky. I'm thinking it's resinous so that narrows it down, I'll get there eventually. It's a Samhain blend though so I've got a good while to get that one finalized before I'll actually want to use it for Purposes. Honestly I probably should be working on an Imbolc blend instead to get ahead of what's coming up next, but I had a bunch of ingredients on hand I wanted to put in the Samhain blend so it was easy to get a good start on. 
Also bought some small amounts of Amber and Copal resins this morning for extra options. Wanted to get some Benzoin on the suspicion that it *might* be what my Samhain blend needs, but none of my usual suppliers for things of that nature have any in stock, so I'm gonna have to go poking around some other sites. 

Paid a long-overdue visit to my crack dealer (chiropractor, I mean my chiropractor) this morning, and I'm feeling... well, kinda sore, but also like my head turns properly again so that's an overall benefit, and the sore will ease up reasonably fast.
