The March meeting of Blanco Woman’s Club met at the scenic Heron's Nest Herb Farm and Van Aken home.
Melanie Van Aken presented a wonderful program about essential oils and how you can make your own household cleaners, body sprays, and raise healthy plants, organically and free from harmful chemicals.
She also gave us a crash course in aromatherapy. Did you know that the scent of lemon grass makes you feel creative? With this new found knowledge each woman had the chance to create her own signature body spray using essential oils for only $5.
Melanie was right, when you found your right combinations of scents, you almost don’t want to set your bottle down! The day was perfect, we were surrounded by chirping birds on her lovely patio and enjoyed hibiscus tea as we ate our deliciously light meal.
Thank you to the sweet ladies that provided the salads and sandwiches! Also, thank you to the lady who made the picnic atmosphere complete with ice cream!
Remember ladies, May’s meeting is our big annual luncheon being held at the Red Corral Ranch on May 8, 2013 at 11:30 AM. Please have your menu choice (slow-roasted beef or roasted chicken breasts) and $15 to Bonnie Holmes by April 19 th.
