Alkanet (was color soap)

[Guest guest]

You can call at Jean's Greens to see if she has alkanet in stock

(315 845-6500). I like to put some in the oil I'm using to make lip

balm, before I add beeswax. I only keep it in for a few minutes; you

end up with a gorgeous lip gloss which doesn't add a huge amount of

color to your lips.
