  1. Thank you for all the fabulous ideas! I will definitely be making some homemade mixes for family and friends this Christmas.

  2. That’s a lot of creative ideas,! I would never have thought of making bodyscrub for someone. I love it, very inspiring.

  3. I am definitely waiting for cyber Monday. I prefer to do things in the comfort of my home, in Pajamas!
