Thanks to Kari at Mothering My Miracle Multiples for hosting the Vanilla Hazelnut Whipped Shea Butter giveaway! She has picked a winner (or rather the winner was picked by random.org), and it’s Kirsten from Blonde Ambitions!!

Ever since I saw the post about a Champagne Facial Mask on Anne-Marie’s blog, I’ve been thinking about how to adapt it so that anyone could make it with ingredients from the grocery store.
