Mama Said

Mama Bath + Body and Lotion Bar

She humiliates you publicly and points out only the negative.

But you gotta love your Mama. Especially in the form of a new storefront, complete with a mix-your-own lotion bar.

Choose your container size (from two to sixteen ounces) before picking an unscented cream base and drizzling in essential oils like peppermint, rose, and geranium.

Mix and match with neighborhood-themed bar soaps, sugar scrubs, body oils and salts packed in old-timey containers like olive oil vases and Mason jars. Circle back around in the coming months for candle-making workshops and other DIY classes.

Even Mama will approve.

Mama Bath + Body, 743d East College Avenue, Decatur (404-377-7800 or loveyourmama.com). Grand opening, October 3, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
