My oil spritzes are SM Elixir and SSI's Carrot & Pumpkin Seed Defrizzer. Well the SSI is in an applicator bottle but I will be swtching it up. At some point I will make a ceramide oil spritz. The coffee oil is looking good. It's been sitting for a little over a week now. It's gonna be skroooong because it has a lot of coffee in it.

It is gone be skrong.:lol:...:lick:

How long are you letting it infuse? You said you were going to use HV Cocosta as a 'base'? How does it smell?

I was thankin' bout doing some with EVOO as a base. Did you use whole beans or Grounds?
 
Since I don't know how to be still, I tried to go to the mall :look:. Got there and made it through 3 stores before I became exhausted. I'm back on the couch, about to take a nap. Got dd's tennis equipment though :yep:.

I had some goodies inside each box. 1 Hydrasilicia Spritz & 1 Asha Omega Oil. (How nice of BJ).

I'm thinking 2 weeks because I see alot of separation already. I used coffee grounds and it looks like most of them have risen to the top. I did use Cocasta. It smells good. Basically what I expected. Cocasta with a strong coffee smell.

IDareT'sHair boo tried to come get me from the mall until I told him I was too tired to wait and I didnt want to leave my car there. It's hard for me to be still.

somebody told my mom I snuck out, now she's over here :rolleyes:. Snitches get stitches.

I'm already off Monday.
 
Imma check my mail. It says Claudie is "Out for Delivery" but that was like at 9 a.m. so it should be here.:look:

Speaking of make-up, I had to go back to the Dealer this a.m. They found my Make-Up Bag in the Loaner Car.:nono:

*I guess I got too carried away in it*:blush:
 
Ltown

Girl I love Chai Tea.:lick: So, it will be nice in the a.m. to start my day with a Cup. *Thanks*:grin:

Then I got to thinkin', maybe I can add some Roobis to my Tea Blend, so I bought some Loose Roobis. :nono:

I think it's either 1 or 3 ounces (I can't remember). I'll add it to my next Blend.

Shay72

I might try it. Did you heat up the Oil? Or did you just dump it and let nature take it's course?:look:

Imma do mine w/Olive. Lemme see if I got any. I know I got Coffee.:lick:

I'm going to look now. *runs out the room to the kitchen*

I have a small Crock Pot that was a Potpourri Burner. I could heat it up in that (if it's suppose to be heated).

Lemme know.:yep:
 
All this thread has done is make me buy more products. Now I want to mix up products. It is contagious. Y'all are all sick. Now I have had a relapse. I am a bigger junkie than before. Now I know the difference between the cheap stuff and the good stuff. I get all thirsty for products I don't even wait for sales anymore. I am not even waiting for payday. I have packages coming weekly or biweekly. :(

Now I am about to buy a huge waterfall showerhead with a detachable smaller showerhead. Just for my hair!

Okay, Shay & LT here's what I did. I didn't have enough Olive Oil, so I poured in what I had and added some Coconut Oil.:yep:

Added Coffee Grounds, (Pure Columbian) now I have it in the Crock Pot. Imma let it simma' down and unplug and let sit for 2 weeks.

Does that sound right/good? Hopefully, I can get a 4 or 8 ounce bottle. Probably closer to 6 ounces tho' after everything is done.

IDareT'sHair, wow you are mixing! Are you using tea bag or cheese cloth? I always use coffee beans less mess to squeeze out the oil. everythings looks good!
 
Ltown

I think I messed up. I did not put the Grounds in a Tea Bag. I just dumped errthang in the Crock Pot.:blush:....:nono:

It looks dark & gritty. And I didn't think about (until after I did it)that the Coconut Oil will most likely solidify.:ohwell:

Lawd...Sounds like Imma have a mess. :perplexed

See.........That's why I don't mix.:spinning:

IDareT'sHair, coffee grounds are messy anyway, i thought you might have used something, even a coffee filter. I used them and tape it close. Getting the oil out of that is going to be nessy, sorry olive oil ain't cheap. I like mixing save money most of all the teas, coffee, and growth oils are the same and the mixing is easy. I'm cheap i just read the ingredients and mix away, its so much cheaper. I'm not knocking vendors because folks like you who don't like it can still buy them.
 
@Ltown

Next time, I'll Stuff the Coffee into one of my Cheesecloth Tea Bags and drop it in the Oil.

DUH.....:drunk: Why didn't I think of that before I did this mess?:nono:

I'm not giving up.....I will make this again.:lol:.....:look:
 
IDareT'sHair Ltown
Girl I ain't use nothing so I guess my oil is gonna be a mess too but mine looks like it is separating and rising to the top. When the girl said she used a coffee filter in the Coffee & Tea Rinses thread I thought she meant after the fact. Oh well, mess this time and next time I will use my tea bags or a coffee filter :lachen:.

Didn't heat nothing up. Off all the people to try to be mixtresses we are the wrong ones :giggle:. We will get it right though :yep:.
 
@Shay72

The Knee-High over the Coffee Cup thang looks like it's working.:look:

But yes....next time we'll get it right.

And I got 50-11 of them Cheesecloth Tea Bags too.:nono:

I guess I was a little too eager.:lol:

I will be trying it again. Especially with the price of Coffee Oil.

IDareT'sHair, shay, you both will get it. I so happy to see T mixing. You'll get better and save $$ to buy other things:look: this is why i don't buy alot of growth oils. I have all the oils, and eo except cayenne pepper. I have too many oils (grapeseed, sunflower, avacodo, almond) i don't think all is open but olive oil is the master pentrating oil i want to use the most.

@Ltown

Girl I ain't mixin' nothing.:nono:

But that Oil @Shay72 was making sounded sooooo good.:lick: It made me want to make some.

Tis All.:look:
 
Ltown so olive oil is a better penetrating oil too bad it taste so good. I purchased 32 oz for my hair, but I have been dipping it on bread. The hardest part about oils is that I am so greedy, I had 32 oz of walnut oil for my hair, but it made the best walnut cranberry salad dressing. In fact I am enjoying raw carrots with a lite dressing of hemp/rice bran oil and rice vinegar at the moment. That hazelnut smells tasty too. Well, hopefully, these oils can do something for my hair from my stomach.
