6 Mar 2017That’s the prettiest infographic I have ever seen! Did you make it? If so, bravo. I’ve been trying to make these myself and haven’t succeeded in making anything but a mess, so far! I laughed reading your post at all your “etc’s” for every oil, but in a good way, because it’s true; every oilcan do so many things it is amazing. Your blog is beautiful.
