This week was a much more eventful week at Erbaviva! I spent time in the lab with a woman named Bertha and was a part of the making of a test set of baby body butter, essential oils, and Buzz Spray bug repellant.

The baby body butter was easily my favorite thing to make, using organic raw materials like beeswax and cocoa butter. It was amazing to watch the different phases of the butter cooling.

The buzz spray and essential oils were fun as well. I got to play with the smell of the essential oils which were samples to be sent to a hotel.

Outside of work I got to visit City Walk and spend Father’s Day with my host family on a hike and a trip to the movies!
