In need of some last minute gifts? Not to worry, I’ve got you covered! Body balms are really fun to create and make charming stocking stuffers or small tokens of gratitude for the holiday season. They are fairly simple to prepare and just require a few key ingredients: olive oil (or oil of choice), beeswax, vitamin E oil, essential oils (I used Douglas Fir and Orange) and shea butter. Ready to try it?

The fall is now starting to rear its ugly head here in Toronto. Snow is on the tip of everyone’s tongue as the temperature drops closer and closer to zero. I however, still haven’t pulled out my window box flowers or my tomatoes. I have a pot of kale on the deck that is kicking ass and my nasturtiums don’t seem to mind the cold at all but I know their days are numbered. To be honest I kind of forgot about getting the patio ready for winter. There has been a lot of travelling and new adventures around here and the garden took the back seat. I am hoping for a sunny day this weekend or next to put everything away before the snow hits. Wish me luck. Meanwhile, I will try to fend off the winter beauty blues with this pumpkin face mask.
