Guest sized soap like the Lemon Goat Milk Melt & Pour Bars are the perfect travel size. 

Once you start making and using homemade soap, hotel soap just doesn’t cut it. Guest-sized bars are great for traveling.

This Honeysuckle Solid Perfume smells amazing, and is so easy to make!

Solid perfume is convenient for traveling, or for touch ups throughout the day. This sophisticated Honeysuckle Solid Perfume has notes of tuberose, nectarine, jasmine and of course, honeysuckle. The Solid Perfume Base makes this project easy to make: melt down the base and add the Heavenly Honeysuckle Fragrance Oil. Made with coconut oil, sweet almond oil and avocado oils, the base also nurtures the skin. A small amount of Rose Gold Mica adds a hint of color to the perfume. If you’re looking for sparkle on the skin, feel free to add more mica.
