Fresh-smelling soap is sure to get you in the mood for warmer weather and the arrival of a new season! Not only are these lemongrass and ginger soaps simple to make, but they also make great gifts. Adding details such as a sand dollar and starfish or sprinkling with herbs makes for the perfect little embellishment!

As the weather warms up, we might find ourselves at home more than normal this summer. Vacations and outings might look a little different, but we can still bring the seasonal spirit into our homes. I love doing this with essential oil diffuser blends. Each blend can be formulated for a specific mood and help to keep some normalcy in our lives. Below are a few of my favorite blends to diffuse at home this summer.

A good cup of tea can be a fully immersive experience — the taste, the smell, the feel of the mug in your hands — it’s like a warm hug for your soul! I mean, seriously, I could bathe in it … wait, I could! I could totally bathe in it! All I needed to do was create some tub tea. I wanted it to smell delicious and be as much of a treat as a bath bomb with all its fizzy fun and luxurious feel. I experimented with a few techniques and recipes. After a little trial and error, my Bubble Tea Bath Bombs were born.
