As people find their new rhythms and routines, it feels like everyone is eager to soak up all the warmth, comfort, and coziness of fall/winter hibernation. Thanksgiving dinner can’t come soon enough. It might be a little early for Christmas decorations, but they bring so much joy and we’re probably going to set them up now anyway. Anything that makes you smile and a little more comfortable in your home is fair game at this point in 2020, no judgments.
If you’re looking for some easy, self-indulgent, and comforting ideas to add joy to your weekly routine – give our DIY Bath Melts a try! The soothing butters in these blends will moisturize your skin while you enjoy the relaxing aromas of essential oils. We chose different kinds of butter for each of these recipes, but feel empowered to swap them out with the ones you have on hand and/or your go-to favorite. Grab a glass of wine and some chocolate (or hot cocoa and cookies) and enjoy these luxurious concoctions.
