This looked like something I would like to try ! When I was a young girl visiting my aunt in Paris she always had the most sweet smelling rosewater in her bathroom cabinet ( still does :) I´ve always missed having that smell in in my own house. Thought it could be a refreshing "pick-me-upper" in front of the computer, since that is something that tends to dry out your skin.1 1/2 cup of water ( chlorine free )
1/8 cup vodka
3 tbs dried OR 1 large handful fresh rose petals ( use highly fragrant ones )
1. Bottle, shake & store for 3 - 7 days.
2. Strain out the rose petals.
3. Replace with 1 tbs of fresh ( preferably pesticide free ) rose petals.
4. Add 4 drops of essential ( important, not a compound ! ) rose oil and 2 drops of essential jasmine oil.
5. Refrigerate and use at your discretion with a beautiful mister ! :)
Other Possible Combinations.
A few drops of your preferred essential oil and water.
A few drops of your preferred essential oil plus a water and vodka mix.
Pieces of a plant or a flower of your choice ( preferably pesticide free ) steeped in 90% vodka or you can pour boiling water on them.
PS. Dear vintage lover - a question. Do you find the music on my blog annoying or entertaining when reading ?

When I was a little girl I wanted to make rose water, so I stuffed some rose petals into a jar with some water and waited. A week later I had soggy moldy rose petals in some nasty water! It is nice to read a recipe and see where I went wrong.

Sorry, one more thing- I find the music on all blogs makes the blog more difficult to load. On computers that have dial up or a really slow connection, it makes it almost impossible to load. You would be surprised how many people still have slow connections.

I think the music is simply fantastic. Can't wait to try your cold cream recipe!
Happy you like the music. Let me know how the cold cream turns out!
