Last month we asked the internet to name their favorite hot toddy recipe. The internet responded. In force. After repeatedly testing each suggestion carefully, we have concluded that the best and most oft-suggested recipe consists of bourbon, honey, ginger, and lemon. It's entirely possible that we're biased due to testing this recipe every single time it was suggested--for science. Either way, now it's a lip balm.

This balm is designed to melt into your lips, not into your jeans! Which is good, because I keep mine in my butt pocket. That would be embarrassing... It's got lots of yumminess in it: natural beeswax (you'll smell a little extra honey), unrefined cocoa butter (you'll smell a little cocoa too), unrefined shea butter, jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oils, vitamin E, and flavor oil. It's carefully formulated to give you the perfect balance of protection and softness, so you won't end up feeling greasy or waxy. My mom says, "Ooo, creeamy" every time she uses hers, if that's any indication. She has a little flair for the dramatic.

It comes in an oval plastic twist-up tube, which holds .15oz/4g and is individually shrink wrapped.

Mostly sweet, green, powdery hay bales with a few drops of spiced apple. Like a nice long hay ride with the promise of hot cider at the end. I left out the part about the draft horses though, nobody has any business smelling like that. 

About .3oz in a little glass bottle complete with roll-on thinger. Individually shrink wrapped, and tested on friends, not animals.

The carrier oils I use are fractionated coconut oil and unrefined hemp seed oil, which make for a light, non-greasy feel when applied. The vitamin e is in there as an antioxidant. You'll notice the shocking lack of alcohol.

Ingredients: Fractionated Coconut Oil; Unrefined Hemp Seed Oil; Fragrance Oil; Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

This isn't your grandma's lip balm. Unless you're from Maine, then it's *definitely* your grandma's lip balm

This may be my favorite scent of all time. Then again, I think grass stains on the knees is a flawless sign of happy children and my favorite kind of adults, so I could be partial. The scent is lush, sweet, and very green, just like a freshly mowed lawn.

Notes of green grass, drying hay, lilac, honey, and a hint of wild strawberries. Just like a Maine pasture in Summer, minus the sheep poos. Well, and the fact that lilacs bloom in the Spring. You get the idea.

In old timey Scandinavian folklore, the Huldra or Forest Wife was an elusive ox-tailed woodland creature who sometimes protected miners and woodcutters while they worked. She was also a very effective seductress, and used her ladyparts to lure men into marriage. Once married, she turned into kind of a hag beast. If her husband was a jerk about it, she'd make his life miserable. If he wasn't a jerk about it, she'd reward him with luck and love.

Scent: Fir needle, blueberry, lily of the valley, violet, and white musk

Ridgerunners are the swift-hiking guardians of the Appalachian Trail and its travelers, the first of whom began their patrols in the 1970s with their leather boots and their frame packs. This blend is a frosty, clean, alpine-level representation of that post.

I've always had issues with skin cream and lotion. It either doesn't moisturize enough, or leaves me greasy, or has so much fragrance and preservative in it, I end up all itchy. So I'm dry and greasy with hives on my neck. Not awesome. It's cool though, I found the perfect base and tried again! Yay for no hives on my neck!

This fabled perfect cream base has lots of love for the skin without leaving you feeling like you just ate a bucket of chicken during a national napkin shortage. That's my best analogy, and I'm sticking to it. It's nut-free, and preserved naturally, so no yucky parabens.

This particular 4.5oz jar is scented with a yummy blend of woodland notes and smoky vetiver, so it smells just like your favorite sweatshirt after a night of baked beans, smores, and stories about hook-handed hobos.

Ingredients: water, organic aloe juice, rice bran oil, jojoba, emulsifying wax, glycerin, palm stearic acid (thickener), vitamin e (antioxidant), silver citrate (natural preservative), citric acid (to neutralize pH), potassium sorbate (mild preservative; replaces parabens), fragrance

***Don't forget to recycle!! The jar is made of PET plastic and fits in with the rest of your number 1 plastics.***

So this girl Julie comes up to the booth at a fair and asks for wood smoke perfume oil. Turns out she's the chick who hangs her clothes next to bonfires just to get the smoke stink all over them. I'm with ya Julie, and this one's for you! Sweet wood smoke and a little white musk and vetiver.
