Be Mine

Be Mine makes a wonderfully romantic lotion, a sensual bubble bath, or a perfect perfume.

It's sweet (but not too sweet) and innocent.

You can purchase it pre-mixed, or mix it up yourself.

Holiday Recipes

My daughter Megan and I sat down today and made up a bunch of yummy holiday recipes that we'd like to share.

Christmas at Mom's: Cinnamon (1), Coconut (1)
This is my all-time favorite right now. When my kids smelled it they said it reminded them of Christmas at my house, ergo the name. This is for Spicy/Fruities.

Christmas Eve: Peppermint (1), Vanilla (1), Coconut (3), Cinnamon (12)
This is a strong cinnamon scent, with the just a hint of mint. Spicy/Herby.

Ginger Snaps: Maple Spice (2), Brown Sugar (2), Cinnamon (4), Ginger (2), Clove (2)
It smells just like a gingerbread house. Unfortunately, ginger and clove have been discontinued, but you can probably get the same effect (or close to it) with Allspice. If anyone tries it, post your recipe in the comments section. Spicy, definitely.

Pinecone and Holly Berry: Pine (1), Cedarwood (7), Fig (1), Pomegranate (1)
This one is so yummy. I came up with the name and Megan created the recipe to go with that name. Megan is exceptionally good at creating new scents that people love. I know this will be one that my assistant Sandra loves because she's a Woodsy and loves pine and cedarwood.

Pumpkin Pie (Lite): Cinnamon (8), Allspice (1), Brown Sugar (1), Clove (3), Nutmeg (1), Ginger (1), Honeydew Melon (1)
I told McKenna I'd made a pumpkin pie recipe and she said, "Nuh-uh! How do you make pumpkin pie without a pumpkin oil?" Well, it worked perfectly. It's not a strong pumpkiny smell (which is why I call it "lite") but the honeydew melon gives it a hint of that flavor, and the name convinces you that you're really smelling pumpkin. Again, clove, nutmeg and ginger have been discontinued, but you can add more Allspice. Fruity/Spicy.

Snow on the Windowsill: Juniper (2), Water Lily (1), Garden Mint (3)
I told Megan I wanted something that smelled like fresh fallen snow and this is what she came up with. It really does remind me of a crisp and sparkling winter morning. Herby/Leafy.

Sweet Candy Cane: Coconut (6), Peppermint (4), Eucalyptus (1)
This one isn't as sharp as you might think. It's really kind of sweet. The coconut balances the mint and make a refreshing fragrance to wake you up on wintry mornings. Herby/Fruity.

Believe

This is such a fabulous fragrance recipe. It's great for a sophisticated perfume, lotion, or shower gel.

It's spicy, fresh and very confident. Green Tea has a bit of a bite, proclaiming to the world that you are alive and ready for whatever it throws at you. Bergamot is a tangy spice that exudes confidence and passion.

Green Tea: 3 parts
Bergamot: 2 parts

Ember Glow

This fragrance recipe is so beautiful and versatile. It's a sexy perfume, a sensual bubble bath, a warming shower gel, or an inviting home fragrance, especially during Fall and the Holidays.

Bergamot offers a warm, spicy undertone while Brown Sugar balances it out with sweet caramel. Coconut keeps it from getting too sweet while adding a come-hither dimension.

Hope for Tomorrow

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You've probably seen a lot of pink ribbons around the past two weeks. I have a friend, Mary N., who passed away from breast cancer a few years ago. Even though she was 20 years older than me, she was still way too young to go. I wanted to do something to honor her and to help raise awareness.

As my contribution to this wonderful cause, I have created a special fragrance called Hope for Tomorrow—a light fruity blend of Passion Fruit, Coconut, Asian Spice, Egyptian Musk and Heliotrope. I think Mary would like it.

Passion Fruit: 5 parts
Egyptian Musk: 5 parts
Heliotrope: 4 parts
Coconut: 2 parts
Asian Spice: 1 part

White Linen

This is one of the top 10 recipes I get asked about. It seems everyone who tries this one absolutely loves it. Fresh and clean, sweet and youthful.

You can purchase it pre-mixed, or mix it up yourself.

White Linen:
2 parts Green Tea
1 part Freesia

Fleur

The scent of Fleur will take you away to a fresh wildflower meadow. It's not like most "floral" fragrances in that this one smells like actual flowers, and not like someone tried to re-create the scent of flowers.

You can purchase it pre-mixed, or mix it up yourself.

Jasmine: 4 parts
Freesia: 3 parts
Mimosa: 5 parts

Four Delicious Home Scents

Here are four very yummy home scent recipes, guaranteed to make your mouth water.

• Apple Pie: One drop each of Green Apple, Maple Spice, and Cinnamon. You can get creative with this one… Peach Cobbler anyone? Simply substitute our Peach Blossom for the Green Apple.


• Brown Sugar Fig: Two drops Brown Sugar and one drop Fig — this one is a dead ringer for the popular fragrance, and fabulous for fall.


• Almond Cookie: One drop each of Almond and Cinnamon plus two drops Coconut.


• Harvest: One drop each of Vanilla, Allspice, and Maple Spice.

Surf's Up!

This fragrance comes straight from the islands, with the slightest bit of spicy kick from the plumeria flower. It's my favorite in the form of a shower gel or lotion.

5 O'Clock Somewhere

This is my current favorite recipe, named after the Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet song, of course.

It adds a little fun to my day and makes me feel like I'm on a beach somewhere instead of land-locked here in Utah.


Pina Colada: 6 parts
Vanilla: 2 parts
Naked: 1 part

This is definitely a scent for Fruities.

Day Dream

Day Dream is one of our all time most popular fragrances. I haven't met a single soul who hasn't gushed over this refreshing, cheerful scent.

Perhaps the reason it's such a crowd pleaser is because it works with just about everything. It's appropriate for ages infant to 101.

It works best in Spring and Summer, but also in Fall and Winter. It won't bug you if you hate those nectar-sweet scents, food scents, or way-too-floral scents.

It's a great fragrance for parfum, lotion, shower gel, bubble bath... do you catch my drift?

If you're new to making custom bath and body products at home, start with this fragrance and you're sure to be pleased.

You can purchase it pre-mixed, or mix it up yourself.

Naked: 5 parts
Green Apple: 2 parts
Violet: 2 parts
Honeysuckle: 2 parts

Put de Lime in de Coconut...

Coconut Lime Verbena has always been one of my favorites from Bath & Body Works, so I thought I'd play around with the theme a little bit.

This recipe is very similar, but I don't like to do knock-offs, so all the recipes on this site are original.

I like this one better than B&BW's because it doesn't have quite as much of a lime kick, which means I can wear it as a perfume while also wearing something other than a lava-lava and a swim top, as opposed to only using the B&BW version in the shower as a wake-me-up.

Coconut: 4 parts
Verbena: 1 part
Frangipani: 4 parts
Vanilla: 1-2 parts (can't decide which version I like best)

This fragrance recipe is really ripe! Fresh and cheery, perfect for any pre-teen perfume or a fun bubble bath for kids. It's easy too!

Forever Young

This recipe makes an awesome fragrance for lotion or perfume for tweens and teens alike!

Also great for us oldies (20+) as a lotion or shower gel.

It's so simple and you'll be surprised at the ingredients:

Garden Mint 3 parts
Coconut 8 parts

Unlikely pair, wouldn't you say?

Garden Mint is a mix of several mints. It's not harsh, but has a sweet undertone.

Coconut compliments it wonderfully. So fresh and young.
