    This feels really great and healing on skin. But I couldn’t get it to work as a spray. It clogged the spray bottle. Any suggestions?

    Where do you get aloe vera gel? And what does it come in?

    I made this minus the essential oils. I get extreme dry during the winter weather to the point my eyelashes and fingers feel like sandpaper. Plus my scalp feel like it burns when I scratch. I tried putting lotion on. Its difficult to actually get to scalp and not having the oily hair look afterwards. This spray allows me to spray my eyelashes (eyes closed and rub in with my fingers) and spray right on my scalp. Feels so much better.

    Would this be good for deep tissue burns as well??

      I would recommend seeing a doctor for deep tissue burns.

    Small spray bottle – can you provide the ml or ounces the bottle holds?
    Thanks.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
