Handmade Natural Soaps and Cosmetics

From bath bombs to soaps made from natural products here are some of our favorites...
Sex Bath Bomb

LUSH Bath bombs


Butterball Bath Bomb
A very vanilla soak to lull your skin into soft submissionGet ready for a hot one. Butterball's flecks of cocoa butter melt into a tubful of soothing deliciousness to make skin soft and supple. The vanilla musk fills your bathroom with a light, sweet bouquet while your skin basks in its moisturizing embrace and your senses sigh with pleasure. You deserve it; so slide into a buttery bath with Butterball.


Alkmaar Handmade Soap
Soap your worries away with a rich, white caress of jasmine and honeysuckle. Alkmaar's enchanting blend of aromas easily wins your devotion, but the way it leaves your skin velvety smooth makes you its slave.

Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser
No matter what type of skin you have, Angels on Bare Skin is the perfect, all-round cleanser for you. Ground almonds gently exfoliate, rose absolute tones and lavender oil soothes. A pea-sized amount mixed with water in the palm of your hand to create an even paste is all you need. The result: angelic skin! Important: Due to all the fresh ingredients, this cleanser has a shelf life of just three months.

Sex Bomb is the perfect bath bomb for a romantic evening for two, or an indulgent evening for one. Romantic pink water and an incredibly sexy jasmine fragrance set the mood... and once the rice paper rose petals fill your tub, there's no holding back! Let your fantasies run wild as this bath bomb brings out your sensual side.

Honey I Washed The Kids Handmade Soap
Imagine pulling the comb straight out of the hive, slathering that divine honey all over, then being showered by a delicate spring rain. Honey I Washed The Kids handmade soap calms sore, sensitive epidermis with a rich aloe vera lather and leaves skin silky smooth and deliciously satiated. Slight hints of bergamot and orange lift your spirit and lull you into an intoxicating honey bliss.

Big Shampoo
The difference between a hefty, healthy hairdo and a lot of limp, lackluster locks? It's this saucy, sassy, salty shampoo! BIG combines shine-enhancing citrus juices with the beautifying, hair-buffing impact of sea salt and genuine sea water for a body-building regimen your fine hair won't sweat over. Good things can come in small packages, but for body-boosting boom you can't beat BIG!

Body Butter Tin Due to their natural skin-softening ingredients, body butters can't be kept in your back pocket without getting sloppy. That's where this lidded box comes in. Simply pop in any dry body butter, snap on the top, and you're good to go. Staying home? The tin helps your butter last longer and complements any powder room. When you purchase two body butters, we'll automatically include a tin in your order for FREE

Coalface Cleanser
Who would have thought charcoal and liquorice could get along? One is tough and gritty, the other sweet and syrupy. But charcoal and liquorice could just be the odd couple of skin care, teaming up to fight oily, troubled skin in our Coalface cleanser. Powdered charcoal removes impurities and mildly exfoliates while liquorice heals naturally. Sandalwood oil tones the skin (and mediates should charcoal and liquorice disagree about anything).

Paper Or Plastic The Debate Continues - Reusable Grocery Bags

Paper or Plastic, what is the greener choice? It's a question we get asked everytime we go to the grocery store. The whole thing just confuses us to make a decision on what we think is best for the environment.
Reusable Shopping Bags



Waste-Less Bags Variety Pack (Pack of 6)


I usually pick paper because I reuse the bags for recycling newspapers, magazines, etc. If I do receive plasitc bags when going to the store I save them up and take them back to the store and put them in the recycle containers at the entrance (Wal-mart is one of them).
Shop Eco-Friendly Handbags at eBags.com

According to a news reports it all depends on where you live and how you treat it. It takes millions of trees each year to make paper and millions of barrels of oil to make plastic.


So what's your choice? Well, I have decided to purchase reusable grocery bags (totes) at least for my grocery shopping. Why I may not use them at every store, at least for my groceries. If this is not an option for you then maybe you can bring your existing bags back to the store with you can reuse them again. Either way we have to begin somewhere...
