As I plan and tend my garden, I like to keep in mind what each plant type can be used for — both practically and aesthetically — to make my life simpler and easier. There’s nothing quite like being able to pick fresh basil for the pizza I’m making for dinner, snip cilantro for breakfast tacos, or make a floral bouquet from my own selection. Many garden varieties can also be used in your homemade bath and body recipes, from scrubs and facial steams, to bath salts, salves, and hydrosols. Here, I’ve included my top 20 homegrown plants to utilize in my skin-care products.

I bought it on the spot because I liked that all of the ingredients were listed right up front and it smelled like coffee.

Gift-giving for the men in my life can be challenging. They tend to buy what they want when they want it, which makes it difficult when racking my brain for memorable or practical options. I often have to get creative, and sometimes I choose to make them something rather than purchase it from a store.
