Winter is hard on lips, so this scrub is designed to be paired with my Candy Cane Peppermint Lip Balm to create perfectly gift-able, minty lip kit. Begin by buffing off any dry skin with this rich scrub, and then follow up with the creamy lip balm for soft, pampered, minty lips.
Today’s gift-able holiday DIY is a powdery, silky, fragrant Winter Wonderland Hand & Body Lotion that I’m just obsessed with. I find hand and body lotion is quite a good gift as it’s a product many people already use (so it’s already part of their day-to-day life and will probably get used), but unlike facial skincare products, they’re usually more willing to try something new. And this lovely lotion is definitely worth trying
A bonus formulation from the 2023 holiday making season; a bi-coloured shampoo bar to go with all our other “Candy Cane” themed formulations!
As soon as I settled on Candy Cane as a theme, I knew I wanted to try to make a lovely piped multi-colour body butter for it. And here it is! The ingredient list is fairly simple, the piping is fun (and easy once you’ve got the right gear!), and the final product is gorgeous. Let’s go!
These Winter Wonderland Shimmery Foaming Bath Salts are pretty darn fun, and make for a fabulous gift. Much like a bath bomb, they fizz and foam and transform your bath water into silky loveliness—but they’re much easier to make. They also smell great and add a bit of biodegradable holiday sparkle to your soak. Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to take a bath in the liquid from a snow globe, these bath salts just might be for you 😅
Welcome to our first holiday DIY of 2023! We’re kicking off with a lovely Candy Cane Peppermint Lip Balm as lip balm is one of the most giftable DIYs around. It’s inexpensive to make (but expensive to buy), almost everyone uses it, it’s got a long shelf life, and you can easily blow the socks off your loved ones with this beautiful handmade alternative to store bought.
