We have a new favorite hangout: The Butter Bar at JourneysMother. No, this is not a place where we go to order Butter Beer alà Harry Potter, or to indulge in various flavors of dairy products. This is where we go to create our own customized lotion bars and pellets that leave our skin baby soft and smooth all season long.

JourneysMother Lotion Bars and adorable heart shaped pellets are a delightful alternative to liquid lotion. They melt with the heat from your skin, soothing and moisturizing everything from rough elbows to cracked heels to fly away hair. Best of all, the Butter Bar allows you to customize your blend by choosing your own butter, carrier oil and essential oil, based on your specific needs and fragrance preferences. Of course, you can always choose from the premade versions of the products, but we like being barflies! $10 for a bag of pellets and $12 for an oval lotion bar, plus $10 for customization at www.journeysmother.com
