I love cinnamon essential oil for sore muscle massage. Add a few drops to some olive oil or your favorite base oil and feel your tension ease away. A few drops of eucalyptus helps too!

This is a great way to sample items in the Burt's Bees line or get travel sizes of your faves. It comes with the classic peppermint lip balm, some lotion, oil, hand cream, salve and cuticle cream as well as a few of their soaps. In the years that I've bought this kit for friends, the contents tend to change slightly. Sometimes it has a toner, the soaps tend to change and sometimes it has coconut foot cream and sometimes it has orange essence facial cleanser. Still this a cost effective way to give or get some Burt's!

I don't know if I would buy this kit for myself since I already have a pumice stone and plenty of socks, but this is a great gift for Burt's fans. The plastic pouch is filled with a pumice stone (nothing special, just a regular pumice stone), a tube of foot creme and a pair of socks (usually yellow or white with a little bee embroidered on them, soooo cute). The creme is really thick and greasy, but I find it is great for my feet right before bed. You'll definitely use the socks to keep the creme on your feet and not on your sheets. Still, a great wait to get soft sandal-ready feet.

This is a pretty good soap bar. The lather and scent are nice and it rinses clean. However, the bar is so big that it was a bit unwieldy at first. My arm would get tired sudsing up! Haha. The bars come in some lovely scents, but for the price I think there are better organic bars out there.

Lush lip balms are expensive for what they are, but still, I love them. They are moisturizing with an amazing scent and flavor. Honey Trap is by far my favorite with its vanilla cream white chocolate goodness. I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it. The other balms are good, but don't elicit the same across the board enthusiasm as Honey Trap. These balms are good for moisture, they are overall smooth and long lasting. The biggest minus besides the price is that they melt quite easily. They aren't pocket or hot summer balms because they'll melt into a huge gooey mess.

This is a great cleanser for combo skin. It has a great texture, thick, creamy with a rich foam. The scent is nice if a bit strange, kinda chalky like mint toothpaste. It leaves my skin feeling clean and taut without over-drying. I tend to have really dry skin so this usually gets used less in the winter and I have an acne blasting cleanser for after workouts and for particularly sweaty days in the summer, but for all other times I reach for this stuff.

It washes off nice and clean and is great for anyone who wants to make their own house cleansers. I know that the 12-in-1 soap thing is not exactly true. This makes a terrible mouthwash, isn't that great for washing clothes (although of all the Dr. B liquid soaps this is the best for clothes) and while I use it to wash my face when I'm camping it won't replace my face wash in everyday life. Still it is quite versatile and won't inspire any eco-guilt. Love it!

Most people who shave their bikini line often won't really need to retire their regular razor. I think it would be more cost effective to get an extra replacement blade instead of these. However, for waxers, first-time bikini line shavers and people in need of touch-ups, these are pretty great. The moisture strip is pretty much useless, but the small head means that you can easily shave in the crease of your leg without getting cut. It gets a pretty close shave quickly so these things are awesome to just throw in your beach or swim bag so that if you notice any missed spots you can take care of them in moments. You will have to rinse the blade off a lot because it is so small it gets clogged pretty quickly. Overall a good product.

I find this a bit to thick for my face, but from the neck down this is a good cream. It is quite moisturizing and less greasy then some of the other Burt's formulations so I like using it on my dry skin or leaving the travel sizes in my purse so that I have moisture on the go. A bit pricey in my opinion, but a good product by Burt's.

This soap is really gentle so it is good for dry and sensitive skin types. The smells like a salad. The bar lathers fairly well and lasts a long time. This soap left my face feeling clean but not dried out. It is a bit pricey for a bar soap though. Still I'd recommend it.
