Rice Lotion

I made some last night while going through a bout of severe anxiety!
two bottles. one with half rice water and distilled, the other full rice water. there were other differences too. i like them both and will be using them in the washroom, so i put .20 germall plus but i think its too much, like, is my arm itching or am i thinking that cos i think i put too much in. is it a phantom itch. it wont be if its a rash. sometimes ill roll a j and not wash my hands and then scratch my arm or something then that part of my arm sometimes gets all blistery. same if i rub my eyes. obviously.
ok so the rice lotion, i made a new fougere the other night just willy nilly and it smells too muddled but its only been a couple days so itll change but i wanted to use it. anyway i put some in the rice lotion. cos i put cardamom benzoin and osmanthus i thought it would be like, food lotion, but then it really kind of smelled like food, with the niacinamide smell at the end of the delicate rice smell. lol. so i added some of the new fougere. so its like this really weird rice lotion gormand fougere? which doesnt even exist. i checked. and who would want to wear a gormand fougere? maybe i was trying for an oriental fougere but then i misclassified it. the smell of the niacinamide on my skin reminds me of this synthetic copal fragrance oil bought years ago for incense making, but chucked cos it was so offensive and strong and strange. couldnt read scents back then- im only starting to learn now... might have had a better chance being a scent reader if i had never smoked.
anyway so theres the gormand fougere rice lotion its got rosehip seed and meadowfoam as the precious oils, the bulk is a base of pumpkin seed and hemp seed and some mct and peach kernel. its a lot but i like it better than just one. im playing with the peach kernel ratio with the meadowfoam and almond oil for the slippery feel so its like mct is like peach kernel and meadowfoam is like almond. but i didnt use almond. it wouldve been perfect for my weird gormand fougere though.
the second rice lotions only got baobab as the precious oil and it feels super. also different ratios of the main oils and i used orris, benzoin, and this amber blend i made over the summer for personal use made of sandalwood vetiver and benzoin to scent the lotion.i mean the oils probably all infected and stuff with germs so its just mine and hope it wont contaminate my lotion? none of these lotions ive made turned moldy. thats a lie. i got a mold spot on this one reused plastic spray pump i was using for lotion. gross right. it was the THIRD time i reused it. ok that might be a lie. maybe two. it was reused. so none of the other ones turned moldy.... one bottle of very precious oils i gave to a friend vanished and i found it a year later behind the sofa tipped over and half spilled covered in dust? lol when i cleaned it and like swept and mopped that area it smelled so amazing and still super good? i was like, woah man. this is good stuff. and all the other lotions i gave him havent gone moldy despite the super conditions of his testing laboratory. they just went stale. its like you put this stuff in here for extreme temps and if it survives, its good. well the one he left in his friends car in the middle of summer lost some viscosity. lol. then they go stale with below .10 in an unsealed or not airtight and clear flimsy plastic with no sun protection. obviously. and the rose and violet leaf chunk i dropped into the void i saw a dreaded orange spot. so that kind of bummed me out. its the sunflower oil probably. its not on any of the bars i have all wrapped and stuff though, and its the only one that got a spot from the ones i gave him so i should give those rose bars away and just list new ones, i meant to send them as presents but that would suck cos they are the ones i listed but im not sure why, kind of like a hey look you should try to get going on making stuff again (coughs) (etsy). i made the most amazing packaging for the soaps now that ive practiced and the most recent one is so cute better than the last. havent even printed them. was tied up all day it was excruciating. hmm im super tired cos no eating cos too tired. hmm not very good is it. i really wanted to eat a bunch of wilted kale and parboiled rice. but ill have to settle for something else. like sleep.
