UPDATE: This fragrant, yummy massage oil candle that I absolutely adore is on sale for only $6.95. (In fact, all bath and spa products on the site are 25% off for a limited time)
Utterly delightful and oh so unique - a fragrant, luscious candle and massage oil in one! I tried the "blood orange" scent and it is so wonderful. It made my room smell strong and citrusy, and when I was done, the melted wax is a moisturizing oil that can be used as either a massage oil or lotion. It was warm and fragrant, and left my skin feeling soft, lightly fragrant and not oily. Available scents include: "Blood Orange" "Fruit Fetish" "Spanish Cabernet " or "Floral Serenity"$9.95 at The Succulent Wife.
Ack, there's only 1 left and it looks like it might be awhile before any more are made. So good luck to the lucky person who gets this adorable owl satchet filled with organic hulled buckwheat, dried peppermint leaves and soft polyfill. Such a cute way to add a bit of fragrance to your living space or travel bag. $5 at craftpaca.
