5 Fresh Ways to Use Ginger in Homemade Beauty
During the winter season, my house is never empty of ginger. It’s a must-have for cough and cold season, as well as any tummy upsets that might sneak up. Also, it’s delicious. And spicy.
Spicylicious.
It looks like toes, though. Don’t you think?
Moisturizing Bath Candy: THE Hot Valentine Craft
Timing is really everything, isn’t it?
Were it not for timing, a delicious sequence of events that brought you to a special place in time, you wouldn’t have met your significant other or even your best friend. Without the right timing, with your moods and your perspective on life, your favorite book or blog wouldn’t have meant nearly as much to you.
Without timing, this fantastic bath candy might not have happened on Crunchy Betty. The exact same day I received two emails requesting a crunchy idea for Valentine’s Day, I received my Secret Santa gift from Hilda Blue. Within it contained these magnificent creations (all her idea, straight from her beautiful brain – stop by her blog and tell her thank you)!
I played around with her idea and mixed things up a bit, but it was all her epiphany. Crunchy goddess, that one.

Nutty Butt Butter: Your Little Cellulite Secret
Several weeks ago, I posted a quick tutorial on how to make lotion bars. They were fun and cute and all kidsy … until you read to the bottom and see a mention of Nutty Butt Butter (which are also lotion bars).
It was just a little something I whipped up on the spur of the moment that’s designed to help break down and disappear cellulite. And the room went wild. Everyone’s been asking me for this recipe, and since I’m making it for the swap on Sunday, here it is in all its glory.
It’s been tweaked a bit since my first recipe, and heaven love it, it’s pretty danged awesome. However, the recipe I made is pretty intense in terms of ingredients and cost, so at the bottom, I’ll give you a pared down recipe you can use if you don’t want to shell out the monies for the whole thing.
When you make this, you’ll actually do it in two parts (over a week), but both parts are easy like Sunday morning.
