I've started making my own handmade lotions. Getting ready to start experimenting with soaps. It's a fun hobby.

@Stealth83 : Well, I was just making unscented in the beginning. But, the kids were complaining, so I experimented with stuff I had in the house.
For one, I used vanilla extract. For another, I used peppermint oil. And in a third one, I used a blend that has a very citrusy smell.
The lotion is very oily, but I did that intentionally to feed the skin with loads of vitamin E. Some prefer when I whip it with water to give it a lighter feel.
I've even used it as an overnight hair mask. Rub it into the scalp, put on a shower cap, then go to sleep. When I shower in the morning, I don't need conditioner, and my hair feels so silky.

@Dorothy : Thank you for the reminder. I keep forgetting to stop
By and support local vendors

Yes, Thank You Dorothy for the reminder!!!
I hope this year they have more agricultural vendors than "stuff".

@Dorothy and others: it's NOT this weekend May 18. Nicole (Pearland Town Center manager) was asked before last weekend (the set date) on FB.It was moved to MAY 25 MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

They only list 5 local farms. Interesting, but the Pearland Town Center Site does not list the May 18th date. It lists May 11th instead. Which makes sense if it is the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. May 17th is the 3rd Saturday. I got that date from the Community Impact Newspaper. Trying to call, but their customer service is not answering.LOCAL FARMS: Laughing Dog Farm
Homeward Farm
Wild Turkey Farm
Sherie's Gardens & More
On the Acre - microgreens

Well bummer! I will be in Hawaii on the 25th!

@Dorothy : I always get something really interesting or good at the Farmers Market.
There is a lady that sometimes sells tamales - they are very good !

@jrkbird : have fun in Hawaii - Aloha to you !

@squidgirl : Try whipping coconut oil. It makes a great hand cream. Keep it in the fridge during hot weather, and if it breaks down, you can just whip it again.

@susieq : Coconut oil is one of the ingredients in my secret concoction.

@jrkbird : Well no bummer! Don't you want to be in Hawaii than a farmers market?? I would. Have a good trip. Enjoy it

@Inb0913 : Actually yes. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about Hawaii. I've been planning this trip for six months. I'm just bummed there's no active lava to see. But I'm going to hike and trek all over that volcano and the Big Ilsland! A whole week of paradise.

@Dorothy : not 4th Saturdays either. Pearland Farmers Market is only 2nd Saturdays each month. Last weekend was bad weather AND the Pear Run was there in the pavilion early in the morning. Someone asked on FB on that Thurs and Nicole the manager of PTC answered that the Market is postponed.
Maybe you heard about the farmers market in Meridiana (4003 Meridiana Parkway, Iowa Colony, Texas 77583) this Fri May 17 at 3:30 PM.
