My friend Morality (who was featured in my new book, The Good Life: Pep Talks for Solopreneurs) just launched her new business, Loving Hands Soap Shop. She was gracious enough to send me three items:
- The Mango Salsa soy candle (which somehow smells like I should get a spoon and dig in)
- Orange Zest and Honeysuckle soap
- Whipped Body Butter in the burnt sugar scent.
All three exceeded my expectations. I knew my girl was talented but sheesh! I hadn’t even gotten the box open good before I was texting her with a thousand exclamation points.
I’ve been using them for a couple days now and I’m still just as excited as I was when I first received them. The body butter melted into my skin and left behind a sweet, grown-up scent. Like Morality suggested, I used it right after my shower and my legs were like silk! The soap is wonderful and made me wonder why I stopped using bar soap. It’s long-lasting and the scent is heavenly. Most soaps (like Ivory, unfortunately) dry my skin out, but her soap didn’t, which is a miracle in and of itself. The candle filled my room with the tropical scent.
I must say that I have been blessed with some amazingly talented friends. They make jewelry, bake delicious cakes, and now they make skincare products! I’m so happy to support them and their endeavors and I know they are happy to do the same for me.
This reminds me of when my mom used to visit the flea market to buy certain body products from this older African lady. Her olive oil soap was perfect for dry skin and worked wonders during the winter months at helping keep our skin moisturized. Heading over to check out some of your friend’s products!
