Hello dear friends, I am just starting to plan my move. I plan to leave Quebec and move to Toronto. Can you recommend a moving company that can help?

Summary: 🌼 Quick Look: Hydrate & Lock (Without Clogging Pores!). 💟 Benefits: Similar to Shea Butter, Shea Nut Oil is a super-hydrating liquid oil that can be applied directly to your skin as a moisturizer. As pure shea oil is non-comedogenic, you can use it as a face or body oil moisturizer.    ✅ High in Vitamin E, making it a potent skin lightener. ✅ Can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. ✅ Promotes glowy and radiant skin. ✅ High concentrations of fatty acids and vitamins soften skin. ✅ Possesses anti-inflammatory and healing properties. ✅ Can be used on the face for acne-prone skin due to its comedogenic rating of 0.    Research suggests Shea's anti-inflammatory components may reduce redness and swelling. Its fatty acid components may also soothe the skin by retaining moisture during the healing process. Treatments: Ideal for anti-aging, dry skin, and acne-prone skin. Best used as: Face or Body Moisturizer, Serum, Balm base. Best combined with: Extract of your choice for added benefits. Sunflower oil or oil of your choice for a lighter blend. ⚠️ Caution: Not Applicable. Approximate cost: $10.00 - $35.00 CAD (for a bottle of Shea Nut Oil; recipe cost will vary based on added ingredients). Yields: Varies depending on usage and batch size Prep time: Less than 5 minutes Ingredients: • 100% Pure Shea Nut Oil (Butyrospermum Parkii Oil) • (Optional) A few drops of your favorite skin-safe extract (e.g., Aloe Vera extract for soothing, Green Tea extract for antioxidants). • (Optional) A few drops of a lightweight carrier oil like Sunflower Oil or Jojoba Oil for a lighter consistency or to blend with essential oils. • (Optional) 1-2 drops of skin-safe essential oil for added benefits and fragrance (e.g., Lavender for calming, Frankincense for anti-aging - ensure proper dilution if applying to face). Equipment: • Clean hands • Small glass bottle with a dropper or airtight container • Small bowl (if blending with other ingredients) • Stirring rod or spoon (if blending) Instructions: Method 1: Simple Shea Nut Oil Moisturizer (Direct Application) 1. Dispense: Pour a few drops (2-5 depending on the area) of Shea Nut Oil into the palm of your clean hand. 2. Warm and Apply: Gently rub your palms together to warm the oil slightly. 3. Massage: Massage the oil onto your clean face and/or body using gentle, upward circular motions. 4. Allow to Absorb: Allow the oil to absorb naturally into your skin. A little goes a long way. Method 2: Enhanced Shea Nut Oil Serum 1. Combine Oils (Optional): In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Shea Nut Oil with 1 teaspoon of your chosen lightweight carrier oil (like Sunflower or Jojoba). Stir well. This step can help the serum absorb even more quickly and can be used as a base for essential oils. 2. Add Extract (Optional): Stir in a few drops of your chosen skin-safe extract. 3. Add Essential Oil (Optional): If using essential oils, add 1-2 drops to the oil mixture and stir gently to combine. Ensure the essential oil is diluted within the carrier oils and is safe for topical application. 4. Transfer to Bottle: Carefully pour the serum into your clean glass bottle with a dropper or airtight container. 5. Apply: Use as described in Method 1, applying a few drops to your clean face and/or body. Method 3: Shea Nut Oil as a Balm Base 1. Combine with Wax: Shea Nut Oil can be combined with natural waxes like Beeswax or Candelilla Wax (for vegan options) in a double boiler to create a firmer balm. A typical ratio might be 2 parts Shea Nut Oil to 1 part wax, but you can adjust for your desired consistency. 2. Melt and Combine: Gently melt the wax and then stir in the Shea Nut Oil until fully combined. 3. Add Other Ingredients (Optional): You can add extracts and essential oils once melted. 4. Pour and Solidify: Pour the mixture into a clean container and allow it to cool and solidify into a balm. Notes: • Quality Matters: Choose 100% pure Shea Nut Oil for the best results. Look for cold-pressed or expeller-pressed options. • Listen to Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin feels and adjust the amount of oil you use accordingly. • Patch Test (Optional for Essential Oils): If you are adding essential oils, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the serum to your entire face. • Storage: Store your Shea Nut Oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality. • Acne-Prone Skin: While Shea Nut Oil has a comedogenic rating of 0, always observe how your skin reacts when introducing a new oil, especially if you are very prone to breakouts.

Summary: 🌼 Quick Look: Hydrate & Lock (Without Clogging Pores!). 💟 Benefits: Similar to Shea Nut Oil, Shea Butter is an excellent thickening agent for balms or creams. Used topically, Shea Butter is known to be a “skin superfood” that nourishes skin to promote its clarity and addresses problems such as dryness, blemishes, dark spots, discolorations, stretch marks, and wrinkles without clogging pores. Shea butter is rated a 0 on the comedogenic scale. It's able to deeply moisturize the skin without clogging pores. It's especially amazing for dry skin, and a lot of acne-prone skin is actually dry.    ✅ High in Vitamin E, making it a potent skin lightener. ✅ Can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. ✅ Promotes glowy and radiant skin. ✅ High concentrations of fatty acids and vitamins soften skin. ✅ Possesses anti-inflammatory and healing properties. ✅ Can be used on the face for acne-prone skin due to its comedogenic rating of 0.    Research suggests shea's anti-inflammatory components may reduce redness and swelling. Its fatty acid components may also soothe the skin by retaining moisture during the healing process.    Treatments: Ideal for anti-aging, dry skin, and acne-prone skin. Best used as: Face or Body Moisturizer, Balm. Best combined with: Extract of your choice for added benefits. Sunflower oil or oil of your choice for a lighter consistency. ⚠️ Caution: Not Applicable. Approximate cost: $10.00 - $35.00 CAD (for raw Shea Butter; recipe cost will vary based on added oils and extracts). Yields: Approximately 4 ounces (adjust recipe for desired amount) Prep time: 10 minutes Cooling time: 30-60 minutes Whipping time: 5-10 minutes Ingredients: • 2 ounces (approximately 4 tablespoons) Raw, Unrefined Shea Butter (solid form) • 1 ounce (approximately 2 tablespoons) Sunflower Oil (or other lightweight oil like Jojoba or Almond Oil) • (Optional) 1/2 teaspoon Skin-safe Extract of your choice (e.g., Aloe Vera extract for soothing, Chamomile extract for calming). • (Optional) A few drops of skin-safe essential oil for fragrance or added benefits (e.g., Lavender for calming, Tea Tree for acne-prone skin - use sparingly and ensure proper dilution). Equipment: • Double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water • Measuring cups and spoons • Whisk (hand whisk or electric hand mixer) • Clean jar or airtight container for storage Instructions: 1. Melt the Shea Butter: Place the shea butter in your double boiler or heatproof bowl. Gently heat until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. 2. Add Carrier Oil: Stir in the Sunflower Oil (or your chosen lightweight oil) into the melted shea butter. Mix well until fully combined. The addition of a lighter oil helps create a less dense and more spreadable balm. 3. Cool Slightly: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until it starts to slightly solidify around the edges but is still mostly liquid. You can speed this up by placing the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, checking frequently. The mixture should be semi-solid but still soft enough to whip. 4. (Optional) Add Extract and Essential Oil: Once the mixture has cooled and slightly thickened, stir in your chosen extract and essential oil (if using). 5. Whip the Balm: Using a hand whisk or an electric hand mixer, whip the mixture for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes light, fluffy, and has a whipped cream-like consistency. The color will also lighten. 6. Transfer to Jar: Spoon or pour the whipped shea butter balm into a clean, airtight jar or container. 7. Store: Store the balm at room temperature. It may slightly solidify further, but will melt easily upon contact with the skin. How to Use: 1. Scoop a Small Amount: Take a small amount of the whipped shea butter balm with your fingers. 2. Warm and Apply: Gently rub the balm between your palms to warm it up and make it easier to apply. 3. Massage into Skin: Massage the balm generously onto dry areas of your face and/or body. It can be used as a daily moisturizer, a night cream, or a targeted treatment for very dry patches. 4. For Acne-Prone Skin: Due to its non-comedogenic nature, this balm can be used on acne-prone skin. Apply a thin layer and observe how your skin reacts. Notes: • Whipped Texture: Whipping incorporates air into the butter and oil mixture, creating a lighter and more luxurious feel. • Unrefined Shea Butter: Using raw, unrefined shea butter retains more of its natural vitamins and beneficial properties. It may have a slightly nutty scent, which is normal.    • Adjust Oils: You can adjust the ratio of shea butter to carrier oil based on your desired consistency. More carrier oil will result in a softer, more easily spreadable balm. • Extracts: Choose extracts that offer benefits for dry or acne-prone skin, such as soothing, hydrating, or anti-inflammatory properties. • Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin or are using essential oils for the first time, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the balm liberally. • Storage: The whipped balm is best used within 6-12 months.
