Ultra Creamy Lip Butter
Lip balm, lip gloss, lip stick, and now lip butter. I’ve created lots of different natural lip products over the years to replace all the tubes of lip products I used to buy. This lip butter is so simple to make with just a few ingredients and melts like butter on your lips, hence the name!
It’s a little more nourishing than some lip balms so it’s perfect for when you need the extra hydration.
Lip Butter vs Lip Balm
When I first heard the words lip butter I thought it was just a strange name for lip balm. It turns out there are some differences between the two (even if they are more subtle). Lip balm uses a blend of waxes and oils to moisturize the lips. A lip butter can also use some wax and oil, but it also adds in more creamy lip butters.
Shea butter, mango butter, cocoa butter, and cupuacu seed butter are some of the top favorites here. Butters are thicker than liquid oils but they’re not as hard or waxy as beeswax or candelilla wax. They also have a unique fatty acid profile that’s great for skin and lips.
Lip Butter Ingredients
I’ve kept the ingredients list simple so you don’t have to buy a ton of different oils and butters to make this. Beeswax helps thicken, while cocoa butter and mango butter add that luxurious emollient feeling. I’ve also included some meadowfoam seed oil to make it spreadable and essential oil for scent and added lip benefits.
Mango Butter
First up we have mango butter. I love how smooth and creamy it feels without being too thick. It’s softer than cocoa butter and feels more like shea butter. Mango butter is one of the few butters that has some astringency, so it doesn’t leave skin or lips feeling overly greasy.
You can substitute shea butter, but shea butter does have more of a tendency to get gritty once it’s cooled down. A good way to prevent this from happening is to cool any product made with shea butter in the fridge, instead of room temperature.
Cocoa Butter
I chose cocoa butter because it’s harder and gives the lip butter more thickness without over relying on beeswax. Cocoa butter is high in saturated stearic and palmitic fatty acids and creates a lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss. It also smells amazing with it’s slightly chocolate scent!
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
This liquid carrier oil may not be one you’ve worked with before. It adds a nice lightness to the blend and makes the creamy butters more spreadable on the lips. Meadowfoam seed oil is an emollient to lock in moisture, but is more easily absorbed than heavier carrier oils like olive or avocado oil. If you don’t have any on hand you use any liquid carrier oil you prefer, but it will affect the overall absorption and texture of the lip butter.
Essential Oil
Not only do essential oils make this smell amazing, but they add additional soothing and aromatherapy benefits. Just be sure to choose lip safe essential oils that won’t irritate this delicate area! Oils like cinnamon, lemongrass, clove, and ginger may smell great, but they can cause burns or sensitivity in lip products. And others like lemon and lime can cause phototoxicity (aka burns when exposed to sunlight).
Here are some of my favorite lip safe essential oils to use:
- Lavender
- Sweet orange
- Geranium
- Mandarin
- Neroli
- Rose
- Spearmint
- Peppermint
Since the cocoa butter gives this lip butter a chocolatey scent I like using essential oils that smell good with white chocolate. For this batch I used lavender, but peppermint and orange are also really nice with the cocoa butter.
Another important safety note when it comes to essential oils is dilution. In general how much essential oil you use for lip products depends on the exact essential oil. Nothing in the above list is overly harsh, so a good rule of thumb is .5 to 1 percent. This comes to about 5-10 drops in this recipe. It may be tempting to add a whole lot more, but less is usually better when it comes to essential oils!
Here’s how to make your very own lip butter.
Ultra Creamy Lip Butter
This creamy lip butter is super moisturizing and melts on contact to lock in hydration.
Yield: 2 ounces
-
Add all of the ingredients except essential oils in the top of the double boiler. Heat and stir occasionally until completely melted.
-
Turn off the heat and add the essential oils.
-
Immediately pour into your lip balm containers and let cool completely.
- Store in a cool, dry place for the best shelf life. This will last about 6-12 months when stored properly.
- This recipe yields about 13 regular size lip balm tubes.
Tips For Making Lip Butter
Really we’re just adding everything together, melting, and pouring into containers. No multiphase formulas or complicated steps. I have a heat safe glass bowl that I use only for making DIY products and I’ll use that like a double boiler. You can also melt the ingredients in a dedicated Mason jar for easier pouring.
I’ve found that it’s easy to wipe out the wax/butter residue with paper towels after I’ve poured the product into my containers. Don’t go straight for soap and a washcloth to clean up or you’ll have a waxy mess!
Avoid storing your lip butter in hot or humid conditions which will degrade the ingredients faster. This includes leaving it in a hot car or in a bathroom with a steamy shower.

Damien and Debbie’s English Garden in Maryland
Hi GPODers!
Gardening, in some ways, can be a lot like cooking. It’s satisfying to make yourself a delicious meal, but it’s much more rewarding to share your culinary creations with a loved one. Even better than that is working in the kitchen together, making memories as the dish comes together. The same can be said for our outdoor spaces, with the joy of togetherness making even the most beautiful landscapes that much more meaningful. Damian Smigocki in Germantown, Maryland, embraced this concept when he set out to create a garden that his wife, Debbie, would most enjoy. Through this process, a bland backyard has transformed into a colorful and flourishing English-style garden that is deeply meaningful for both of them.
In 2002, when I got married and moved into my wife’s house here in Germantown, Maryland, I asked Debbie what kind of garden she would like for me to create. The backyard had only two trees: a maple and a Colorado spruce tree (Picea pungens, Zones 2–7), which was bought as a Christmas tree. Debbie said she would like an English garden. The first order of business was to replace the wooden rail fence and gates with two arbors and a white picket fence I built. Then I created flower beds around the perimeter and later, three more beds, a paved walkway, and a small pond. Shrubs and evergreen trees were added to complete the garden.
English gardens are always abundant in soft, romantic blooms, and Damian made a point to include plenty of pollinator-attracting selections. Here, an Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) enjoys a marvelous mass of lavender-pink wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa, Zones 3–9) and might make its way to the bright pink garden phlox (Phlox paniculata, Zones 4–8) in the background.
An English garden is not complete without some meandering paths that lead you through the lush design. This section of the garden is a fabulous tapestry of vibrant and diverse foliage that looks cool and calming. A dwarf pink lilac in the foreground adds a pretty pop of color.
While Damian’s plantings are delightfully diverse, he also smartly employs some massing to create layers of color. Large clusters of even more garden phlox create an attractive pattern of pink and white.
Damian has also created gorgeous color combinations throughout the beds and borders. ‘Golden Mop’ false cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Golden Mop’, Zones 4–8) on both sides of a cherub statue create the basis for a chartreuse and purple design with spirea and alliums.
This landscape is so glorious and inviting that a variety of birds visit the garden and add even more color to the space. A northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) and indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) appreciate the shelter of this open birdhouse.
Flowering trees add to the layers of color and interest. A pink flowering dogwood (Cornus florida f. rubra, Zones 5–9) is the perfect addition to this bright green spring garden.
Another view of the chartreuse and purple beds reveals more of the alliums—potentially the cultivar ‘Purple Sensation’ (Allium ‘Purple Sensation’, Zones 4–9)—that pop against this mix of green.
Did you ever see a garden border so lovely that you wanted to nestle inside of it? Damian made that fantasy a reality when he stuck an Adirondack chair in this spot, and made an interesting focal point in the process.
Lastly, another photo of those pretty chartreuse and purple beds. Some English gardens get the bad rap of being chaotic or messy, but Damian has managed to establish patterns and organization among the garden abundance.
Thank you so much for sharing your stunning garden with us, Damian! Your space would have been inspiring if you built it for your own enjoyment, but the love that went into its creation makes it something truly special.
Do you garden for someone special in your life?

5 Best Egg Laying Chickens for Beginners
I never really thought much about chicken breeds in the beginning. I just assumed all chickens were pretty much the same.
In my mind, every chicken would lay eggs, and when they got older or bigger, I could use them for meat.
Simple, right? I didn’t pay attention to whether one breed laid more eggs than another or grew faster.
But then I watched a video of a chicken grower who was making really good money just by selling eggs.
That’s when it clicked for me. Not all chickens lay the same number of eggs, and choosing the right egg laying chicken breed really makes a big difference. Some birds are simply much better layers than others.
From that point on, I realized I needed a mixed flock—some strong egg laying chicken breeds and some good dual-purpose chickens.
What Makes a Chicken Good Egg-Laying Breed?
As a beginner you must first opt for easy to care and fun to have chickens that can easily fill your basket with eggs year round.
- A good egg-laying breed should produce a high number of eggs each year, ideally 200 to 250 eggs. That means you’ll have a steady supply instead of waiting around for the nest box to fill up.
- Strong laying breeds usually start producing eggs at around 18 weeks of age. The earlier they begin, the sooner you can enjoy fresh eggs and see a return on your time and feed investment.
- A reliable layer should produce medium to large-sized eggs. Bigger eggs are more useful in the kitchen and more attractive if you plan to sell them locally.
- Most good laying breeds produce white or brown eggs, which are the most common and widely accepted colors. While shell color doesn’t affect taste, it can influence customer preference if you’re selling eggs.
5 Best Egg Laying Chickens for Beginners
Before you pick any bird for your backyard, take a little time to do proper research.
As mentioned above, not all chickens are the same, and choosing the right chicken breed can make a big difference in how many eggs you actually get.
There are many different breeds available, and each one has its own strengths.
Some handle heat better, some do well in cold weather, and some are simply stronger egg producers.
You need to choose a breed that suits your local climate, your space, and your overall goal—whether that’s steady egg production, low maintenance, or a mix of both.

1. Australorps
Australorps are beautiful black chickens with shiny greenish feathers that glow in sunlight. They have a calm personality and look strong and well-balanced in size.
They are excellent egg layers and can give around 250 to 300 eggs per year. Many backyard keepers love them for their steady production.
The eggs are light brown in color and usually medium to large in size. The shells are smooth and strong.
Australorps usually start laying at about 5 to 6 months of age. They are hardy birds and handle different weather conditions quite well, which makes them great for beginners.
2. Rhode Island Reds
Rhode Island Reds are strong egg producers, laying around 250 to 300 eggs per year. If managed well, some hens can even lay more in their first year.
They produce medium to large brown eggs with strong shells. The egg size is consistent, which makes them great for regular home use or small egg sales.
These hens usually start laying at around 5 to 6 months of age. They mature fairly quickly and don’t take too long to begin production.
In terms of looks, they have deep reddish-brown feathers and a confident, upright posture. They are hardy birds that tolerate both heat and cold quite well, making them suitable for many climates. Their active nature also makes them good for free-range setups.

3. Buff Orpington
Usually, these hens start laying eggs around 5 to 6 months of age, depending on feed and care. Once they begin, they are known to lay steadily throughout the year.
Buff Orpington hens produce around 180 to 250 eggs annually. While they may not lay as many as some high-production breeds, they are still very reliable for backyard egg supply.
They lay light brown to cream-colored eggs that are medium to large in size. The eggs are well-shaped and consistent, making them perfect for home kitchens.
In appearance, they are large, fluffy birds with soft golden-buff feathers. Their gentle and friendly nature makes them especially good for beginners and families. They are also quite hardy and handle cold weather very well because of their thick feathers.
4. Plymouth Rock
Most hens of this breed begin laying at about 5 to 6 months old. Once they start, they usually maintain a steady production if they’re well-fed and cared for.
Plymouth Rock hens produce around 200 to 280 eggs each year. They are known for being reliable layers, which makes them a safe choice for beginners.
The eggs are medium to large in size and brown in color. The shells are strong, and the egg size is perfect for regular household use.
They are medium to large birds with beautiful black-and-white barred feathers (in the barred type). Calm, friendly, and hardy, they adjust well to different climates and are easy to manage in both backyard coops and free-range systems.

5. White Leghorn
White Leghorns are one of the best egg laying chickens for high production. They can lay around 280 to 320 eggs per year, making them one of the top choices for steady egg supply.
They produce large white eggs with clean, smooth shells. The egg size is usually large, and production is very consistent during their peak laying years.
These hens usually start laying at about 4.5 to 5 months of age, which is slightly earlier than many other breeds. That means you don’t have to wait too long to see results.
In appearance, they are slim, active birds with bright white feathers and a large red comb. They are energetic and excellent foragers, but a bit more active compared to heavier backyard breeds.
Cold Tolerance of These Egg Laying Breeds
When it comes to handling cold weather, some of these breeds do much better than others. Buff Orpington, Australorp, and Plymouth Rock are known for their good cold tolerance.
They have heavier bodies and thicker feathering, which helps them stay warm during winter.
These breeds usually continue laying reasonably well even when temperatures drop, as long as they have a dry, draft-free coop.
Rhode Island Red also handles cold weather quite well. They are hardy birds and adapt to different climates without much trouble. Their strong body structure helps them stay active in winter conditions.
On the other hand, White Leghorn is slightly less cold-hardy compared to the heavier breeds. Because they are lighter and have large combs, they can be more prone to frostbite in very harsh winters.
With proper shelter and care, however, they can still do fine in moderately cold areas.
How to Stop a Broody Hen?
Broodiness happens when a hen wants to sit on eggs all day to hatch chicks. During this time, she stops laying eggs and stays in the nesting box for long hours.
She may puff up her feathers, make low growling sounds, and peck if you try to move her.
Breeds like Buff Orpington and Plymouth Rock tend to go broody more often than high-production breeds like White Leghorn.
If you do not want chicks, broodiness can reduce your egg production.
- A simple way to manage it is to remove the hen from the nest a few times a day and collect eggs quickly.
- This prevents her from sitting on them. Also, keep nesting boxes bright and well-ventilated, because dark and cozy spaces can encourage broodiness.
- In stronger cases, some keepers use a “broody breaker” method.
- Place the hen in a well-ventilated cage for a few days to cool her body, which usually stops broodiness and helps her return to laying within a week.
Feeding Tips to Increase Egg Production
I’ve learned that good egg production really starts with proper feeding. If hens don’t get the right nutrients, their laying slows down quickly.
So, you must always ensure a good quality layer feed with about 16–18% protein. That keeps their bodies strong and supports steady egg production.
- Calcium is equally important for strong eggshells.
- Crushed oyster shells or limestone can be offered separately so hens can eat as much as they need.
- Without enough calcium, eggs often have thin or weak shells.
- Clean, fresh water should always be available, as even short periods without water can reduce egg production.
Sometimes you may have to give small amounts of greens or kitchen scraps, but don’t let that replace their balanced feed.
Experts say that when hens receive proper, balanced nutrition, egg production becomes more regular, eggshells are stronger, and overall flock health improves significantly.

Best Hybrid Chicken Breeds for High Egg Production
Hybrid chickens are specially developed by crossing different breeds to improve egg production, early maturity, and feed efficiency.
These birds are often chosen by beginners and small farmers because they lay consistently and start producing eggs at a younger age compared to many pure breeds.
ISA Brown is one of the most popular hybrid layers worldwide. Under good care, they can produce 300 or even more brown eggs per year.
They usually begin laying at around 4.5 to 5 months of age.
These hens are calm, friendly, and adjust well to backyard systems, making them a strong choice for steady egg supply.
Golden Comet is another excellent hybrid known for reliable egg production. They typically lay around 250 to 300 brown eggs annually and also start laying early.
They are active but easy to manage, and they perform well in both small backyard coops and slightly larger setups.
Conclusion
Choosing the right egg laying chicken breed can make a big difference in your backyard setup.
Not all chickens produce the same number of eggs, and some are much more reliable than others.
Taking time to understand their laying capacity, temperament, and climate tolerance will help you build a productive flock from the start.
For beginners, it’s always better to choose hardy, consistent layers that are easy to manage. Breeds that handle your local weather well and start laying at a reasonable age will give you fewer problems and more eggs in the long run.

High Protein Brownie Batter Bites
In high school and college I was addicted to all the processed junk food and sweets. Since then I’ve swapped out the mini snack cakes for real food options that are much healthier and way more delicious! These brownie batter bites are the latest creation to come out of my kitchen.
They’re a good source of protein and healthy fats for steady energy. Plus, they’re naturally sweetened, no highly processed sugar necessary! My kids love these and they’re gone pretty quickly once the batch is done.
Healthy Brownie Batter Bites
One of the best things about making brownies isn’t even the brownies, but getting to lick the bowl. While I’m not afraid of raw egg from pastured chickens, there are other things lurking in most brownie recipes I’m not a fan of. Not only is this version packed with protein, but it skips the flour entirely. They’re also egg free for anyone who needs to avoid eggs.
The nut butter gives it a creamy base and adds healthy fats. Then of course there’s antioxidant rich cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey taste. My kids like mini chocolate chips too for extra chocolate. The maple syrup or raw honey add a touch of sweetness without overdoing it. And even better, these natural sweeteners are full of minerals and micronutrients for cellular health and energy that won’t give you a crash.
Protein Packed
I’m all about prioritizing protein. After years of undereating my metabolism was much happier when I started nourishing my body. Part of that includes making sure I hit my protein goals. While I like to eat at least 40 grams of protein for breakfast, I want my snacks (and even desserts!) to support my goals.
Here are some more protein rich desserts if you’re looking for more options!
These brownie batter bites taste like you’re eating a spoonful of sugary brownie batter, but they’re actually good for you. We’ll eat them as a dessert or snack. And if you’re packing them for lunches, freeze them before popping them into the lunch container so they keep their shape.
High Protein Brownie Batter Bites
A rich, chocolatey snack that tastes like a treat but fuels like a real-food meal.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Blend cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender or food processor until smooth and thick.
-
Transfer to a bowl and stir in almond flour until the mixture is firm enough to scoop. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
-
Scoop and roll into 12–16 brownie batter bites. Place the dough onto the parchment lined baking tray and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. If your dough is really soft, then chill the bowl for about 10–15 minutes first before scooping.

If your house is like mine, rolling them smaller helps stretch the batch. I’ll often make 16 mini bites so everyone gets one and the older kids can grab seconds.

How to Plant and Grow Summer Savory
How to Grow
Savory grows best in rich, well-drained soil amended with organic matter, and requires a full sun location. The plant makes an attractive, fragrant edging for garden beds.
It can tolerate both dry or moist soils, but not soaking wet conditions, and is also drought tolerant.
Fertilizer usually isn’t required if the soil has been enriched with well-rotted compost or manure.
If left in the garden, savory will reseed itself, but this isn’t the most reliable method of propagation – it’s best to start seeds in a controlled environment.
Summer savory is one of the most trouble-free herbs you can grow, its aromatic oils naturally repel many common garden pests, and it has no serious disease problems.
The main issue to watch for is root rot caused by waterlogged soil, which will show up as wilting and yellowing leaves – simply ensure good drainage and avoid overwatering.
Where to Buy
Inexplicably, this tasty herb can be difficult to find in both grocery stores and garden centers.
Look for nurseries that carry a good selection of herbs to find seedlings, or pick up some seeds and start your own.
Seeds are available in garden centers in early spring, or you can shop online.
Seeds in a variety of package sizes are available from True Leaf Market.
Harvesting
Begin to harvest leaves as soon as the young plants are five to six inches tall. Pinch the stems about halfway down, just above a leaf node, and use the trimmed leaves for the kitchen.
Pinching in this way also encourages new branches to form, and prevents leggy plants.
Leaves can be harvested throughout the summer, but the flavor is sweeter and more intense before flowering begins.
Pick leaves in the afternoon when the essential oils are strongest.
Flavor is best in fresh leaves, but they can also be dried and frozen. Or, you can always grow some of the winter variety for year-round supply of evergreen leaves.
Or, you can freeze fresh leaves in a zip-top bag, rolling the bag from the bottom up to squeeze out excess air before sealing.
