🍂 Pumpkin Spice Lotion Base
Ingredients:
1 cup almond oil or jojoba oil
1 tbsp dried pumpkin powder (rich in vitamin A & zinc for cell renewal)

1 tbsp dried orange peel (brightens skin & lifts mood)
To Infuse:
Add all ingredients to a glass jar.

Here are 5 fun and fascinating facts about Halloween 👻🎃
🕯️ 1. Halloween began as an ancient Celtic festival.
Halloween comes from Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”), a Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest and the start of winter. People believed the veil between the living and spirit worlds was thinnest on this night — so they lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts.
🎭 2. Trick-or-treating has medieval roots.
The tradition started in Europe as “souling” or “guising”, where children went door to door offering prayers or songs for the dead in exchange for food or coins — centuries before modern candy!
🎃 3. Pumpkins weren’t the first jack-o’-lanterns.
The Irish originally carved turnips and potatoes to ward off evil spirits. When they immigrated to America, pumpkins became the go-to — bigger, brighter, and easier to carve.
🍬 4. Halloween is the second biggest commercial holiday in the U.S.
Americans spend over $10 billion each year on costumes, candy, and decorations — second only to Christmas! Candy corn alone sells over 35 million pounds every season.
🌕 5. Full moons on Halloween are rare but magical.
The next full moon on Halloween won’t happen again until 2039 — the last one was in 2020. Historically, full moons were seen as a sign of heightened energy, mystery, and transformation.
