Earlier this week I received an email from Erin, who was asking for assistance with two test lip balm recipes she had. She wanted something that ” didn’t leave lips feeling like you’ve been sucking on a melted candle”. Erin, I couldn’t have thought of a better description! I remember […]
Fast and Simple Gifts
One of my favorite recipes that I just keep coming back to is this Lanolin Butter. We have already featured this on the blog before.My feet can get really dry and cracked. (Part of that is because I hate to wear shoes.) However, it can get so bad that I […]
The Greatest Lanolin Butter! (In my opinion)
Sometimes in the winter, you really need that massage. Whether it is done by a professional at a spa, or done by a family member, sometimes you need that time to just relax. However, sometimes in the winter you need a super light massage oil. This is what we will […]
Dry Massage Oil
Over the break, Cynthia emailed me, wanting help with a recipe for a lemon cuticle butter. She wanted something similar to Lush’s Lemony Flutter. She had seen a post that Andee had done for a Special Request Orange Cuticle Butter. Also, she didn’t have everything necessary for that recipe. She sent […]
Cupboard Recipe Request – Cynthia’s Lemon Cuticle Butter
2 Good morning! Did you know that Monday the 17th is Boss’s Day? I am really glad I found out about Boss’s Day because sometimes they just need a thank you. Do you know what I mean? I was thinking about all of the things a boss does. They get to […]

5 Jean came in some time ago, bringing with her a handwritten recipe of hand cream that had been in her family. She wanted a modern recipe of what had been in her family for so long. I made scans of the recipe and immediately got to work. (Unfortunately, my desk monster […]
Jean’s Heirloom Hand Cream
5 I adore scrubs. Absolutely love them. Here at MMS I am known as the Queen of scrubs. Sugar, salt, solid, liquid, soapy, foamy, oily, scratchy, smooth, body polishers and glazes, you name it and I have: a recipe, note, thought or idea tucked away somewhere. My fat orange cat loves […]
Tea Tree Scrub
6 I love using toners. They feel so refreshing and can make your skin feel really great. Sometimes I forget my bottle is getting low and I run out! Ack! I wanted a toner that would be a quick and easy project and have a great feel. Well, I think I […]

1 For me, summer and roses are words that walk hand in hand. I can’t remember a summer that didn’t have vases filled with roses that my sister and I picked from around the neighborhood (with permission of course). My mom finally had to make a rule that we were only […]
Roses: Fresh Flowers to Decorative Scented Potpourri
1 I am so excited to announce a new flavor we just released, Margarita Flavor Oil! These lip balm are definitely parties contained in a tube. This flavor is so incredibly similar to the drink, you might even fool a bartender! Come join me for this fun and party like flavor. […]
Margarita Lip Balm
1 Not long ago, I made the Fluffy Body Powder. I have had some time to contemplate the recipe and what I thought about it. I really liked it but I think I used too much Natrasorb for my preference. The Natrasorb has really big particles which lend a slight texture. […]
Gentle Body Powder
2 I love that the day are getting longer and warmer. There are more opportunities to see the sun and it feels great! The unfortunate part about this means I am outside doing things and working up a sweat. Whew! I don’t know about you but I don’t like being wet […]
