Being Frenshe$7.99–$16.99

Are we biased in saying that a bundle of Being Frenshe makes a great self-care gift for moms of any age? Maybe a little. But it’s also true! If you want to give a busy mother the gift of not having a thing to stress about, wrap up some Milky Bath Bombs, some Milky Hydrating Lotion, and our Multi-Tasking Body & Scalp Scrub. Then (and this part is crucial!) finish tasks on her to-do list so she can get in some much-deserved R&R.
