Tips and Ideas : Where I get my Supplies for DIY Bath, beauty, and skincare items.

Hello Lovelies, Taz here again, and I have had commentary privately asking where I get my stuff for my Products I use on here.. that is a difficult answer because it really depends on the product.  I will list some of my main suppliers here and what I get from them, I will state that I write reviews for products on Amazon, and thus I am offered a discount on several of my items like Essential oils.


Herbs - I ALWAYS Get my Herbs from Monterey Bay Spice Company   They have the best prices for bulk herbs and spices, and Honestly it is something I think you should ALWAYS buy in bulk.. invest in a vacuum sealer if you are worried about space.

Essential oils - Before I started getting my Essential oils at a discount, I looked around for the best prices on them because well honestly they are freaking expensive.. the cheapest place I have found for good quality Essential oils is Majestic Mountain Sage,

Beeswax - Honestly if you live on your own land I would say beekeep. free beeswax and honey.. but if you don't want to or can't.. Go to Amazon.. that is where I get mine, and usually I do pay full price for my beeswax.

Oils - and now this is where it gets complicated.. because it depends on the oil.. Some oils I get from Sams in bulk, or our local Kroger.. because its cheaper than buying online, same with Big things of coconut oil, Several of my less common oils like Evening Primrose oil, and pumpkin seed oil etc, I get from Amazon because Honestly Amazon is my main go to place.

Butters - Again Amazon is my go to place.

Containers - depends on the containers.. some I have gotten for discount, some I have gotten on clearance at various sites, and some I go to the Dollar tree for, because you can't beat 1 dollar for 10 containers, some I get from my local store.. like glass jars.

I sort of collect and hoard supplies, whenever I can find a great price be it because it is on Clearance or I found an EXCELLENT site for prices, or because I am able to get something at a discount because I give an honest review for that item.. Just keep your eyes peeled.. You would be surprised at where you can find certain stuff.  I get Lye from my local Ace Hardware store, Pet stores have Pine Tar which is great for pine tar soap, which is amazing for skin conditions.

My Biggest advice I can give is to SHOP AROUND, go to thrift stores, and Craigslist, and your local buy and trade, even yard sales, are great places to find stuff. There are some excellent sellers on etsy for soaping supplies, and if all else fails.. check Amazon periodically you will find some really really great sales, and I would suggest if you find a sale.. invest.. because it is in investment.. it took a while for my husband to figure out that it really was an investment, I make lotion bars for his dry skin issues, and Lip balm he swears by.. I make Bath teas, and bath bombs.. you do it right you can pamper the crap out of yourself without spending too much money, and the best part is YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PUT IN TO YOUR ITEMS.. and to me.. That is the best thing ever.  So there you go Lovelies, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
