Peppermint Williams-Sonoma Essential Oils CollectionI have intense allergies to heavily perfumed scents so this limits my candle, soap, and make-up purchases to the more mild and/or hypoallergenic in nature. Fittingly enough the product aromas that never bother my eyes and nose are those more commonly found in the kitchen realm. This means I buy candles that smell like sugar cookies, vanilla, and pumpkin and shy away from anything floral or pine. One of my favorite scents though is peppermint.

During the holidays Williams-Sonoma releases a set of hand soap, dish soap, and lotion that blends cool, refreshing peppermint oil with basil and eucalyptus. Trust me when I say that these soaps and lotions will make your whole house smell like Santa’s workshop. Plus you can feel great about using these minty Earth-friendly products as they contain no parabens, ammonia, or chlorine, and they’re never tested on animals.

LoveLeeSoaps: Oreo CookiesOMG these cookies are calorie free! The catch? You can’t eat them. Well you can, but a bout of intestinal distress and a mouth full of film later, you’ll regret it. These cookies aren’t for munching—they’re for washing. Made with moisturizing shea butter and a crème soap filling, these handmade, chocolate-scented Oreo cookie soaps (sold in sets of three) are as functional as they are cute. Not a cookie monster? More a flan man like Yummery’s Puerto Rican Poppi, CK? There’s a soap for you too. Indulge away, but remember LoveLeeSoaps are for lathering; though you’ll likely be tempted, do not put them between your teeth.
