It’s been a while since we’ve talked about our Bramble Berry Athletic Club. We’re psyched to be able to donate to different charities around the country and support the athletic events of the BBAC! If you don’t know what the BBAC is, check out the team here! We’ve already made a handful of donations so far and we’re excited to make the rest of the donations this week! We’re putting the goody bags together as we speak (ahem…the team shirts are so cute) and we’re sending an essential oil blend for each member of the team to try out before, during and after their athletic event. Don’t worry, we’re going to share the EO blends with our Soap Queen readers too (we would hate to leave anyone out)!
