• Wintertime is fast approaching and that means sore, dry lips. Nothing soothes better than all-natural Burt's Bees original lip balm. Or, you can try to make your own lip balms with simple ingredients like beeswax and peppermint oil, by heading over to our Lip Balm Recipe section. It's all up to you, and how ambitious you're feeling.

• Tasty bars, brownies and squares are what you're craving? Okay then, we've got you well covered! Check out our collection of yummy bars and squares that include a decadent apple pie bar recipe, and bake sale brownies.
• Crockpot cooking is the full-timer's ideal way of cooking! What could be better than heading in the door to a fully cooked meal? Our crockpot recipes include an amazing glazed cranberry pork roast, All Day Chicken with an Orange Glaze, and even dessert - bread pudding!

• Just heard from a customer at work today that this simple garlic chopper makes chopping up cloves of fresh garlic a breeze! She said that it was far easier to use and clean than a typical garlic press. She couldn't recommend it highly enough - you just 'zoom zoom', like you would with a toy car, and voila - perfectly minced garlic, ready to add to all of your favorite recipes. Sounds like a keeper to me, especially since I loooove garlic.
