'Tis the Season~

'Tis the season for the giving of gifts and the granting of wishes. Having a little trouble choosing a sweet gift? Most of my friends enjoy creature comforts more than anything else... and given from another makes the gift twice as special. Here's a few of my personal favorites.

- Aroma Sanctum makes fabulous lotions and perfume oils, hand blending them all! Located in Salem, Mass., I've had the pleasure of first-hand experience from this quaint little shop and the lovely owner. Some amazing blends are "Scarlet Letter," "Earth" and "Shangri-la."

- Handmaidens Garden hand makes all of their delectable body bars, butters, lotions and soaps... They are an absolute delight for the senses. Again, these are all hand blended scents. "High Priestess" and "Earthly Essence" are *awesome.*

- Jenness Farm uses goat milk to create delicious lotions, soap bars and body care products. Their customer service is excellent and they *love* their goats. What a great place to buy from! (Their Juniper Breeze lotion is to *die* for- and *no* animals were hurt in the making of it- something Bath and Body Works can't say.)

- Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab makes beautiful perfume oils. I place this company last, simply because everyone has (or should have!) heard of it. :) Their blends are magical, their ethics even more so. A company built on sauciness and magick- who could ask for more?

(Other companies I have not yet had the pleasure to purchase from, but were recommended to *me* are: Wylde Ivy, Skindazzles, Villainess and Althaea.)
