Handmade Hair product Review

I purchased 2 products for my hair recently, and absolutely love them both! This is the first time I've ever used handmade for my hair, and I'll tell you, I don't want to go back to the dollar store stuff!

I purchased a shampoo bar, and a conditioner. As you can probably see, I've already used them both, I didn't think to take pictures before using them, lol.


Lets start with the shampoo. I purchased this from PreciousGems on Etsy. This comes in a 4 ounce bar, and should last quite a while. You just rub some onto your hands, massage into your hair and scalp, and rinse. I usually do this twice. It's very effective, and left my hair feeling squeaky clean. I definitely recommend this for your whole family!



Next, we have the hair rinse, or conditioner. I purchased this from Selective on Etsy.This is far better than any other conditioner I've ever used. Not only does it smell amazing (I got it in toasted coconut scent), but it left my hair feeling very soft and nourished. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling in your hair at all. It goes a long way too. Just place a generous amount onto your hands, and finger it into your hair. Let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse.



As you can see, my hair looks shiny and clean! I love it!



Check out their shops, I highly recommend!

Coffee Collection!

Oh yeah, you heard me! This is a collection of coffee items from etsy, including soap, lotion, pincushions, and more!

Check out this awesome shop for bath and body. I bought some handmade lotion from Right As Rain Creations, and it's amazing!

Featuring Heidi's Handmades

Am I on a soap kick, or am I on a soap kick?!

Yes, I'm always on a soap kick come to think of it!

I found a shop that has some pretty cool soaps, and the one that really caught my attention was this one! I think my mom would like this, because she loves coffee. I myself don't drink coffee, but I do love the smell of it!
So here it is...made by Heidi's Handmades, a Creamy Coffee bar of soap! To bad it's not edible...because I'd REALLY like to eat it!



Also this Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub looks good! Pumpkin is one of my favorite scents.



Many more goodies can be found at Heidie's Handmades, including bubble baths, body sprays, creams and butters, message oils, candles, and much more!
Hope you take the time to visit!

And the winner is.....

Featuring Coffee, Banana, and Chocolate Soap From The Dirty Housewife

Recently I ran across a blog, The Dirty Housewife, where I met Tanya. Tanya makes wonderful soaps, and I was privileged enough to have Tanya contact me about trading. She liked my bookmarks, and I liked her soap, so we traded! You can visit her shop and check out the awesome soaps here.

I am quite happy with my bar of soap. It's very pretty, smells good, and is healthy (I love healthy, especially when it comes to skin.)
And what exactly is the soap I got? It's the WAKE AND BAKE Cannabis Banana Chocolate Coffee! Used it today, and loved it! Go get yourself some!

Featuring Annie Poo

Found a neat shop while surfing the Etsy forums today! So today I'm featuring a neat shop with neat soaps, Annie Poo! And I mean, wow! Did you ever see such artful soap in your life? You'll definitely want to surf this shop, these soaps would make fabulous gifts!


Breakfast anyone? It's a bowl of cereal soap! Annie's Breakfast of Champions Soap comes in a clear box wrapped in ribbon. (even the spoon is soap!)



Georgia Peach Soap! An awesome idea for peach smelling soap!



Now this is something I thought would make a great Father's Day gift! The Stick Em' Up soap gift set comes in a package of 3, and is scented with black tea.



This is soap on the go! Comes in a push up tub with a screw top lid, very handy! The soap is coconut lemongrass...and I can personally testify that coconut lemongrass has a very awesome smell, since I have used that scent before.

For more information, please check out Annie Poo's shop! There's much more where these came from, including cookies, peas in a pod, cupcakes, and much more! If you have any questions about custom or wholesale orders, just let her know, and she'd be happy to work with you!

Featuring Good Karma Soaps

This week I found a delightful soap shop on Etsy! Goodkarmasoap has an awesome soap selection for kids and adults of all ages. I fell in love with several of her selections immediately! Please note, these soaps are not edible. They are made with goats milk, shea butter, honey, vitamin E, and many other healthy ingredients that are extremely healthy for your skin.

These soaps where made with talent and a great imagination!

Lets start with the kids!

Holy cow, I looove this cute little turtle! And yes, he's all made out of soap, so he will make you squeaky clean! Heck, you don't even have to be a kid to like him!


And of course, everyone knows that mice like cheese!



Now for the adults...

Oh my word.....it's...it's...it's a pecan pie! *died and went to heaven*



Is that chocolate?!! MMMMMM! It's a bar of white and brown chocolate soap.



Now for a treat...These soaps are shipped to you with attached tags. What's so special about that? Well, the tags are pieces of paper that have wild flower seeds glued to them, so you can plant the piece of paper. Is that awesome or what?

Those are my just some of my favorites. There are also soaps that are made to look like gemstones, (I think they would be perfect gifts for jewelry makers and gemstone lovers) and so many cute little creepy crawlies and animals! Must go check it out for yourself, you'll soon know why I'm dying after looking through the shop! Visit GoodKarmaSoaps.

Featuring Blue Monday Soap

Since I have been looking at lotions that are creamy and healthy for my skin, I thought this would be a great opportunity to feature Blue Monday Soap. This shop has a great selection of soap, perfume, lotions, lip slickers, and more.

Such as this great herbal night face cream. Made to lock moisture into your skin, this cream will leave your face smooth and creamy, and very healthy too.


Also check out this shampoo bar! A great and healthy way to nourish your hair.



Definitely check out the other things in Blue Monday Soaps shop!

Featuring Sunset Soaps!

Based on a recent purchase, I have a new favorite shop! Sunset Soaps! I purchased an Orange Spice Loofah bar, and was overtaken by how wonderful it smelled! The beautiful soap has a wonderful lather, and keeps you smelling fresh all day!
Here's the loofah bar I purchased!

Loofah is a wonderful thing! A vegetable allowed to mature, loofah makes a great sponge. Put it inside of your favorite soap, and wa la! The perfect soap!


Here's another one I think is really cool. A neat bar of soap with little roses all over it.


Check out this great shop. Everybody needs soap, especially handmade soap!
