My journey with putting lemongrass essential oil into my skincare routine became an unexpectedly aromatic adventure. Eager to infuse my self-care ritual with the refreshing scent of lemongrass, I crafted a luxurious whipped body butter using coconut oil, shea butter, and, of course, the aromatic lemongrass essential oil.
Picture this: I step out of the shower, indulging in the blissful application of my homemade creation, feeling satisfied and relaxed. Enter my roommate, and a peculiar exchange ensues. She, with a puzzled expression, asks if I’ve been busy making beef jerky. Confused, I deny any culinary endeavors and proudly proclaim, ‘It’s lemongrass!’
But here’s where it gets interesting. Despite my reassurances, a lingering association with the scent of beef jerky permeates my every move. It’s as if I’ve unintentionally turned myself into a walking delicatessen. Unable to shake off this unexpected olfactory twist, I decide to throw away my lemongrass-infused creation.
Reflecting on the experience, I should have composed it, nothing in it would harm the ecosystem . In hindsight, I see the humor in the situation. However, lemongrass and I have since decided to part ways in my skincare routine.
Yet, all is not lost! If you’re still curious about lemongrass and have a taste for adventure, I recommend trying out a lemongrass-infused beef jerky recipe. It might just be the savory twist you never knew you needed in your life!
