I LOVE LIME so much so that I found it hard to resist the urge to nibble my arm after rubbing on some “Tropical Bliss” Body Creme . Super thick and nourishing whilst remaining non greasy is a definite plus for me . The scent takes me back to being a little girl it is similar to the pods of the African Tulip tree my grandmother had in her front garden. that’s my sister and I posing in front of it 🙂 You only need to use a little……..now that is value for money. Overall there is nothing negative to say about Serenity Lure Body Creme, the packaging is smart, the product is divine. With prices ranging between $10 – $30 if you are looking for the perfect gift idea look no further. To keep up to date on Serenity Lure news follow them on FB or on TWITTER

There’s always one cheeky elf who pushes things a little too far—and this time? He’s covered in Grinch Gunk! This fun, fizzy Grinch Gunk Bath Slime is a gooey, giggle-worthy bath treat that looks mischievous but is totally skin-safe. It’s squishy, jiggly, and dissolves into the bath for a silly Christmas soak your kids won’t forget.

Whether you’re staging your Elf on the Shelf’s latest misadventure or putting together a “Grinch Spa Kit” for holiday gifting, this bath-safe slime is part sensory play, part bath magic.

No harsh ingredients—just skin-loving gentle goo
Doubles as sensory play before bath time
Can be poured into the bath like a bath gel
Perfect for Elf on the Shelf setups or DIY stocking stuffers
Customisable with scent, shimmer, and fun containers

Ingredients – Guar Gum Gel Version (Skin-Safe, Natural)

Makes about 1 cup of Grinch Gunk

1 cup warm distilled water
1 tsp guar gum powder (natural thickener)
1 tbsp glycerin or aloe vera gel (skin soothing + slip)
5–10 drops peppermint essential oil (or vanilla-mint blend)
Green mica powder or food-safe soap colorant
1 tsp baking soda (optional, helps soothe skin)
Small jar or squishy tub container

Optional:

A pinch of eco-safe glitter
Mini plastic Grinch or Elf toy
Printable “Help! The Grinch Got Me!” tag

Melt-and-Pour Version (For Squishy Soap-Like Texture)

½ cup clear melt-and-pour soap base, chopped
1 tbsp vegetable glycerin
Green soap colorant or mica
5 drops peppermint essential oil
Heat-safe jar or silicone mold

How to Make – Guar Gum Version

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and glycerin.
Slowly sprinkle in the guar gum powder, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Add baking soda, essential oils, and green mica. Whisk again until smooth and gooey.
Add glitter or shimmer if using. Pour into small jars.
Let sit uncovered for 10–15 minutes before sealing.

How to Make – Melt & Pour Version

Gently melt soap base in microwave or double boiler until fully liquid.
Stir in glycerin, mica, and essential oils.
Pour into jar or mold and allow to cool and firm up. The result: a jiggly, jello-like slab of bath slime!

How to Use Grinch Bath Slime

Scoop a tablespoon or two into the tub as the water runs
Rub between hands for silly slime play before rinsing
Watch it dissolve into a silky, minty soak
Store leftovers sealed, out of sunlight, for 1–2 weeks (guar gum version)

Note: As with all kids’ bath products, adult supervision is recommended. Avoid eyes and mouth.
