I personally would enjoy a thread where the ladies can just chat and talk about the different things they have found work for them whether it be in their homesteading and taking care of animals/kids, skincare and natural makeup, or home remedies and diets that have helped improved your life.

Exfoliating gloves!!! When washing dirty little country kids they are like magic dirt erasers.
Anyone recommendations for makeup brands without a smell or light scented, natural perfumes? I can't even use essential oils. For makeup I currently use Maybelline Green tinted oil makeup, it's very light, doesn't have much of a smell at all and it's cheap but it doesn't last very long in the heat.
For a natural perfume, you could try coconut oil. I use it that way. It smells very strong, lasts a long time, and this is embarrassing but it works well as deodorant for me.
It also has a real healing affect on the skin. I had to use a lot of bleach for cleaning at one point and my hands were raw enough I thought the skin would just die off like a sunburn, but I used coconut oil to soothe my hands and it ended up healing them. From then I was sold.
I also want to know about makeup. I have been looking it up how to make them online but I don't have a lot of the ingredients. Except cocoa powder. Apparently that's used a lot.
Girl, it's so bad that even the faint smell of coconut oil irritates me 
It does work great, though; I use it on my pet's skin, ears and paws to heal rashes during the summer.
I never thought of making my own makeup; i'll have to look into that. My skin has actually improved from using this Maybelline Green makeup along with different serums at night. Here's what it looks like if you ever want to try it; it's only like $6 at Walmart and feels super light on the skin!

A simple thing to start with is using red raspberries for a lip gloss.
Start with one teaspoon of beeswax.
Add two teaspoons of freeze dried raspberries (dried cranberries work too)
And then you'll add coconut oil or canola oil until it's the 'right' consistency for you. I like mine on the softer side instead of hard like a chapstick.
Use a coffee grinder to turn the berries into powder.
Melt the beeswax. Not boiling hot, just melted.
Add the berry powder.
Add your oil a bit at a time until it's to your liking.
You can cool it in a refrigerator after that. It can keep at normal room temperature for a couple weeks. If the smell or taste changes then it's time to let it go.
