At Darn Good Yarn we like for each product to have a little story. The lavender for our sachets is no different. We procured the lavender from this farm in the Santa Ynez region of California at a place called Clairmont Farms (http://www.clairmontfarms.com/)

my sister in Virginia would like some as she ran out and can’t find them anywhere.

I can’t tell you. Ancient Chinese secret.

What can I wash my face with that’s cheaper than a cleanser?

Shower gel could really dry out your face, and fragrances tend to be irritants, using it could cause your face to be red and blotchy, i wouldn’t recommend using it.

Yesterday I read about a cosmetologist mom that I believe uses lavender essential oil mixed with water as a rinse after washing the hair. I didn’t print it off to get all the details and now I cannot find it. I have a 5 year old and the other things are so harsh on her little head. I think this might be a good preventative. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I haven’t heard anything about lavendar oil, but I SWEAR by Tea Tree Oil. My poor daughter was a magnet for head lice when she was younger. After someone recommended Tea Tree Oil, she never got it again. I would put a bunch of drops in a spray bottle with water and spary it in her hair when I was brushing it in the morning and at night. I would also use the shampoo with added oil to help me get rid of the lice, and use the shampoo for regular hair washes.

It works like a charm!

Also, it is NOT true that children who have poor personal hygene get lice. I have attached a link below for more info;

Good luck!
