1. Vanilla Coffee Soap

If you know someone who loves coffee this soap is perfect. They smell is heavenly, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like coffee at all. I make three bars at a time and package them up in tissue paper to give them as gifts. This recipe starts with a melt and pour base so it’s simple to make.

2. Peppermint Swirled Soap

Much like the coffee vanilla soap above, this soap starts with a melt and pour base too. Then swirl in a little scent and colorant and you have a beautiful swirled peppermint scented soap. You can change up the color and the scent to fit almost anyone’s preferences.

We use a lot of lotion around our house. Some lotions have lots of additive I don’t care to put on my skin. If you’re like me you’ll want to try this diy lotion bars recipe.

  1. The homemade lotion bars are so cute! I might need to make them for myself…my hands tend to get really dry in the winter with all the cold, dry air and all the hand-washing I do.

    Thanks for sharing all these great ideas!
