With the winter months closing in on us, our skin often needs a little extra love. Here in Wisconsin, it can be a long rough winter. Today my daughter and I made four different sugar scrubs, sampled them all and we cannot believe how soft our hands are. Even the husband got in on the action, trying out our peppermint sugar scrub. We made them as teacher gifts and have the most adorable free printable labels and teacher gift tags to go along with them! The gift tags, that come in ...

This post brought to you by FrogTape brand painter’s tape. All opinions are 100% mine. I had such a blast with Shape Tape™. I originally wanted to paint up some plain white IKEA pillow cases, but I never got my butt to an IKEA.
