Skinny Dip Candles, Safe for Body and Massage

by

Skinny Dip candles are a candle, massage oil and lotion in one. They use high quality cosmetic grade soy, which is more skin nourishing than the traditional soy wax used in candles. Other luscious skin safe ingredients include cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado butter and vitamin E. skinny dip hand

Their candles are designed to burn only as hot as 101 degrees or about the temperature of a warm bath. After blowing out your candle, you can immediately apply it as a lotion to leave your skin feeling soft and lightly scented. Besides being beneficial to your skin, they’re biodegradable, clean up easy, burn virtually soot free and last longer.

Scents are offered with either fragrance oil or essential oils. Some of their delicious sounding fragrances are:

  1. Ambrosia- a yummy blend of oranges, coconut and peaches.
  2. Angel Food Cake- Soft vanilla with undertones.
  3. Honey Almond – Enough said
  4. Basil Rose – an interesting feminine floral combination.
  5. Jasmine and Sandalwood- Jasmine with undertones of sandalwood.
  6. Mango Papaya- delectable tropical blend.
  7. Chocolate Silk- for chocolate lovers.
  8. Bare Naked- (unscented)

There are 18 scents in total and they also sell bath salts and lip balm that you can purchase in a Skinny Dip Pamper Pack. Their candles all come in a 6 oz. travel friendly tin and are reasonably priced at just 10.95 each.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
