My Soap, My Medicine
Here's what you'll find in my shower on most days:
1. African Black Soap - This is an excellent facial bar. It's great for acne & eczema too. It's my all natural 'pure but not simple' base and genuine African black soap imported from Ghana, Africa. While I'm preparing my water I'll quick grab this and lather it up and let it sit on my face. I'll leave it on as long as I can while showering before rinsing it off.
2. Shea Baby - This bar is made with 33% unrefined shea butter. I love to use when my skin starts to feel a little dryer. It's very moisturizing. The only downside of this bar is because it's made with such a high percentage of shea butter it will tend to leave a soap film in the shower. If you have a slow running drain like me, this can be a bit irritating. But who ever said life was an easy ride?
3. Lavender Jasmine Neroli - Hmmm, where do I begin with this one? This is my favorite bar of soap in the evening right before I'm ready to meet my loving husband for a night of love. This is one of the only fragrance bars I tend to use. I have mixed lavender, jasmine and neroli essential oils AND fragrance oils in this one. These three essential oils alone are all said relaxing aphrodisiacs.
4. Carrot Facial Bar - I tend to rotate this between my black soap. This one has a blend of essential oils that are perfect for my gracefully aging skin. I'm 38.
5. Dead Sea Spa Bar - This is a Dead Sea salt and mud spa bar. I've tried to capture the essence of 'Aveda' in this one. It's super revitalizing and has an awesome 'spa type' scent. All natural of course ;-)
6. Spikenard Clary Sage Jasmine - I thought that this bar would sell much better than it did. I absolutely love this bar when I'm on my dreaded moon cycle. It has a very relaxing and healing effect when I feel bloated and crampy.
7. Lavender Tea Tree Myrrh - Otherwise known as "The Unmentionable Bar". If were stranded on a desert island (I'd never want to come back!) and had to only one bar of soap it would be this one. I will wash my hair, brush my teeth and every last bit of skin with this bar. It's one of my best sellers and will good reason. It's loaded with anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, smells clean and keeps you FRESH! I recommend this bar to men and women alike for freshness 'down there'. I even had a customer who tells me her husband let's her know when her bar is running low. Aw, how sweet of him!
8. Organic Wildcrafted Bulgarian Lavender - I've always loved lavender it's definitely on the top 3 of my favorite essential oils. This is my newest batch of lavender soap. I had been buying regular lavender and decided to splurge on this new Bulgarian lavender. And of course... I should have done it sooner! This lavender is so therapeutic. It's sweeter, more powerful and uplifts me to the outer limits of joy! Love, love, love you lavender, you never let me down.
9. Purely Patchouli with French Green Clay - Patchouli is my favorite anti-depressant. It lifts me up and gives me a burst of ambition and chases the blues away. I love patchouli alone, or mixed with almost any other essential oil. It's definitely a gem in my book!
As a side note about lavender (and patchouli for that matter). I never was much for either of them. I had been tainted by cheap imitations my whole life. Lavender smelled fake and overly floral and patchouli smelled like a stinky hippie to me. Until I found a good supplier for my oils and had tried the real thing I never know what I was missing! If anyone out there feels the same way, don't give up! There is hope!
10. Pearly White Teeth - Ooops! I almost forgot this one. This is the soap I used to brush my teeth with. See how it's curved out in the middle? That's because I use my toothbrush on it. This soap believe it or not is about 6 months old! That's quite a lot of bang for your buck :-)
I hope that you enjoyed a look into my shower :-) Message me with any questions and for some GREAT reading please look into "The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy" by Valerie Ann Worwood.
Much love,
Heather
