The 12 Days of Christmas promotion is officially over tomorrow. Hopefully you have lots of handmade gift ideas for the holidays! The promotion features easy to make projects, like the adorable Chocolate Mint Melt and Pour soaps. With a delectable mix of Dark Rich Chocolate Fragrance Oil and Moroccan Mint Fragrance Oil, this soap smells just like a classic holiday candy. The Moroccan Mint Fragrance Oil is 30% off until tomorrow at noon PST. No coupon necessary.
For more minty bliss, click through this Minty Layered Bath Salts tutorial. A soothing combination of pink sea salt and epsom salt in your bath is a perfect way to relax after a cold winter day. The Moroccan Mint Fragrance Oil adds a fresh minty fragrance, creating a rejuvenating bath experience.
What’s that? You want even more minty goodness? We’ve got you covered with the Peppermint Pucker Lip Scrub. Jojoba beads and sugar gently exfoliate lips, allowing lip products to absorb better. Made with avocado oil and the Nourish Lip Balm Base, this scrub hydrates the lips at the same time.
In addition to lips, skin can also get dry during the winter. Keep it moisturized and protected with this Whipped Champagne Shea Butter. With a fluffy texture and a bubbly scent from Champagne Fragrance Oil, it’s a perfect gift for your friends and family. The addition of tapioca powder helps cut the greasy feel, giving the butter a smooth and silky texture.
Looking for more projects to keep skin hydrated? The Lotion Melt and Pour Cubes are a great way to moisturize the skin. Made with a combination of Shea Melt and Pour and Aloe Lotion Base, these bars are extra creamy and skin-loving. The Aloe Lotion Base gives these bars additional rice bran oil, and oat extract which is known for its moisturizing abilities.

Did you break into my house Anne Marie?! Just last month I made my own version of peppermint patties using Dark Rich Chocolate and Moroccan Mint FO using the round molds you sell! Same colors and everything!
I guess great minds think alike! 😛
