Make bath time more fun, but with less mess.
We love bath bombs. Who doesn’t?
We just don’t like the mess (I accidentally stained my bathtub yellow) or the plastic that bath bombs usually come in. We’re keeping ours neutral in colour + free of botanicals (as per your request). They’ll be wrapped in paper with mother earth in mind.
Coming at you in December: Citrus, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Unscented.

Put some pumpkin (puree) on your face.
Wait, what?!
Yup! That’s right. Pumpkin.
Pumpkin is in everything these days, and for good reason. It’s delicious.
Pumpkin also makes a great addition to your skincare routine, and here’s why:
It’s a great exfoliator. The enzymes in pumpkin contain alpha-hydroxy acids (or AHAs for short) + these molecules remove dead skin cells, which increases cell turnover + leave you glowing.
It’s rich in Vitamin A, an anti-aging ingredient perfect for lightening age spots + evening out skin tone.
It contains Vitamin C + beta carotene which support collagen production, improving tone + texture.
You can buy (expensive) pumpkin face masks (that contain preservatives + fragrances + other stuff you don’t recognize), or you can DIY for something completely au naturel for WAY less money. I’ll do that latter, thanks! And you can, too!
All you need is 100% pumpkin puree. You can buy it in a can, or, if you’ve got some uncarved pumpkins laying around, you can roast that bad boy (at 350F for 45-50 minutes), scoop out the flesh, puree it in a food processor or high powered blender, and you’re in business.
Lay it on thick and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Then give your face a good rinse, and feel just how SOFT your skin is.
Disclaimer: Some folks are super sensitive to the enzymes in pumpkin. Always do a patch test first before to test for any irritation.
