So here is what I scored from Chemistry Store:

-Shea Butter
-Fractionated Coconut Oil or MCT Oil (they just take the medium chain triglycerides out the coconut oil)
-Regular coconut oil
-Sweet almond oil
-Brown Sugar Fig essential oil blend
-Coconut cream essential oil blend

Both of the oils smell amazing. I made my first sugar scrub last night using the MCT oil, white sugar and brown sugar fig but it was too greasy. I nearly died in the shower :heh: I did a 1:1 ratio of sugar to oil but I think I may do 2:1 or 2.5:1. I also may try the sweet almond oil or regular coconut oil instead.

Be careful! I bought a premade scrub and I was sliding around in the shower like "wait a minute, I'm not ready for this!"

Been there before, that's when (if I'm able to) I just lock myself away at home with my favorite comfort items and a good book, movie, or sleep. Hope things get better!
unfortunately I'm at work and can't go hide away but thanks.

So I'm going to make my own nut butter, pecan and walnuts specifically and then I'm going to use it to make a "nut butter" cookie. I think this will turn out spectacular if I can get the taste of the nut butter right.

You're welcome! Just try to mentally take yourself away. I use visualization when I get really stressed/irritated, but I can't get away. One of my most peaceful moments was walking down the white sands on Panama City beach, looking at the clear aqua waters. The sun was veiled by thin clouds, but I looked out at the gulf and got hit in the chest with thankfulness. That will be 5 years ago this fall, and I still go back to that moment of having the water bubble up around my feet, feel the breeze on my skin, and I can calm down.

Maybe something like that can help you. Sending positive vibes your way!
