Six Reasons to Love These Bath Fizzers

How do I love these Anti-Body Bath Fizzers ($9.95)? Let me count the ways:

They're vegan, paraben-free, and not tested on animals.
They're tucked in a cute farm-themed recyclable carton.
They smell like fresh lemongrass (or lavender or flowers, if you prefer).
You get six for just under $10 - an affordable bit of luxury.
They fizz up, then soften skin with shea butter.
Best of all, the fair-trade shea butter provides jobs for women in Togo.

You might find your own reasons, but these six are a pretty good start.

In case you've imbibed in one too many of Grandma's rum balls or eggnog and you get caught under the mistletoe, here are some fun lip balms that will make any makeout session all the more interesting. One thing's for sure: The person on the receiving end will get something more than just a boozy smooch.

Count down the 12 days of Christmas with this cute set. Not Soap, Radio's 12 Days of Christmas Lip-Stravanganza ($24.00) is packaged up in a FAA-approved bag with two each of following: brown sugar lip scrub, day and light lip treatment, matte gloss, clear gloss, hazelnut cocoa butter lip balm, breath mint lip balm. Yum. (If you celebrate Hanukkah, check out the 8 Days of Luscious Lips set ($18).
The classic Tchaikovsky ballet inspired this environmentally friendly trio. Anti-body's Nutcracker Sweet Collectible Lip Balm Set ($7.95) includes: Strawberry (Clara), Chocolate Hazelnut (Nutcracker), and Plum (Sugar Plum Fairy). Better yet? The do-good company helps create sustainable jobs for workers in developing countries.
I've been rather impressed with Wet N Wild these days and these little lip cuties are no exception. Packed with peppermint oil (hello, fresh breath), Wet N Wild Mint Infusions Lip Tint SPF 15 ($5.99) provide a cooling sensation with a hint of color, and come available in Crystal Mint, Cherry Mint, and Berry Mint.
