Fae folk do love playing tricks on unsuspecting mortals. Rip Van Winkle’s story is widely known as a classic American tall tale by Washington Irving in which Rip wanders deep into the Catskill Mountains to avoid a nagging wife, and comes across a very peculiar, small, stout man who offers him a drink. A drink that causes him to fall asleep for twenty years.
Be cautious when offered a drink by any strange characters who cross your path deep in the mountains. Bearded folk, if you should find yourself waking from a twenty-year slumber with an unruly beard, tame those whiskers with Rip’s favorite beard oil.
Suitable for all beards
You will need:
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
2 drops pine essential oil
2 drops frankincense essential oil
2 drops balsam fir essential oil
Combine avocado and grapeseed oils in a small glass bottle with a dropper lid, carefully add drops of essential oil. Screw lid tightly on and shake vigorously. Apply to the wildest beards after enjoying a 20 year nap.
