    My friend and I decided to take this class because we are really into fragrances and have recently started creating our own. This was a great introduction to the basics of making your own body care products at home.

    This class was a great experience! Nathan's energy was contagious and he had so much knowledge to share about the products and the process. In addition to the lip balm, lotion bar and deodorant, we were also able to make our own scent stick which was a nice bonus :) I would definitely recommend this class and instructor to other Dabblers!

    The class was simple and too the point. The instructor was very knowledgeable as this is what he does professionally. What you took home was very nearly worth the cost of the class in retail value. Though I went to the first session which he offered at a discount as he knew there would be hiccups the first time. The hiccups were very VERY minor, and the sort of thing I expect in any workshop style class. Even at the full rate for this class it's an excellent deal. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    Not worth the money. We did not get any guidance as to which oils work together. We were not given amount of ingredients. basically we were just given vials to mix stuff!.The lotion bar turned out with small pieces of wax which makes it hard to use as it leaves residues on the skin. The teacher had a fun personality but that is about it.

    From Teacher:

    Doa I am so sorry you feel this way. I would like to make it up to you. I will write that the retail value (we sell these products in stores across the country) was over $30.

    I enjoyed learning about the essential oils and their benefits. I thought the area of the location wasn't the best and the space itself was small (which lead to a few things breaking). However, I was impressed by the variety of self-care products we were able to create in two hours. The body lotion I created turned out the best. I would recommend that the teacher substitute a different self-care product for the deodorant (it would have been better to create a solid deodorant as opposed to a cream one).

    From Teacher:

    Diane thanks for attending. Glad you learned something new! I am sorry you do not like the Logan Square neighborhood. It is a family neighborhood with many new businesses opening. I love Logan Square and very proud to be a Logan Square business owner. This was the first class that something broke. Only one thing broke. As I explained in class, I do not teach a stick deodorant for 2 reasons: 1. Not enough time in class 2. I am not giving out that recipe.
