Hi there! Honestly I use store bought lotion right now but want to rid myself of the cancer in a bottle so wanted to get started making my own. I don't even know what a premade base is....ha! I am totally new at this and don't know alot about this....so looking for something pretty easy to start. I know that my friend makes her own and she gave me a body butter whip stuff or something and it was thicker than any other lotion or cream i have ever used and it was awesome. So basically I'm new and want something easy and thick. Do you have any suggestions or recipes to share? Thanks so much! Jessica
