Jun. 9, 2009 - Shea Butter
I have tried to make my own lotion all to no avail. There are some that have turned out OK, but not really as nice as what as hoping for. I switched to using Vaseline (the generic version) on my face for that dry, itchy, winter skin. However, now that I have entered the workforce, I wanted something that wasn't quite so greasy. I found a 32 oz. bottle of Shea Butter lotion for $4.97. It works great as either moisturizer for my face or for the rest of my body. Very economical!
If you happen to know of a great homemade recipe for lotion, please post the link for me! It would be greatly appreciated. 
On Saturday, I went to garage sales with dd and my mom. I found a few things to list on ebay. I also found a game I've wanted for several years, but just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on it. It is called "Fact or Crap." I got it for $2. 
I also found a devotional book for .25. It has writings by Oswald Chambers and will fit in my lunch bag so I can easily transport it to work. I found a really neat necklace for .25. It changes colors, depending on how the light hits it. I like it because it is versatile. I will be able to wear it to work and it will match any pair of scrubs I wear.
DD did excellent in her shopping at the sales. She got 2 sets of Magnetics for $5. They normally run $20 a set. She also bought some crafting items for a couple of dollars, some jewelry and handheld games. We had fun, but we were sure ready to come home once we were finished.

I've never thought of buying things at garage sales to sell on eBay! I bet it's a lot of work.

I wish I could help you on the cream department but can't. The shea butter sounds like a good solution.
Wahoo on all the neat things you found for such GREAT prices. I soooooo wished my hubby didn't have to work on Saturdays. Being a one car family makes it hard to go to yard sales. ((sniff , sniff))
So I just go to Salvation Army for my finds.
Sending you blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC
