Glamour

This week, I purchased grapefruit and peppermint essential oils from Whole Foods. They were around $10 each. I looked for sandalwood, but they didn't have it, so we decided to try vanilla for a base note instead. We'll use vanilla extract for that because I already have some and there's no need to spend another &10. Ximena did more research on supplies and she plans to ask Mrs. McKernan to borrow some supplies, like a dropper. We are planning when we'll get together to create the perfume (hopefully over Spring Break.)

This week, Ximena and I researched the materials we would need in order to make perfume. We looked into the prices of the materials to get a rough estimate of how much money is required (luckily, not too much) and where we can purchase those items. We will need things like vodka, essential oils, distilled water, glycerine, and a bottle to put the fragrance in. Our next step is to research complementary scents, purchase the materials, and start mixing the ingredients to create the perfume. After that, we will have to wait about a month for the perfume to age.

(The slow internet connection will not let me post a picture but Ximena was able to so look at hers.)
