Perfumes and Colognes

Incense

Candles

Quite industrious, this woman is 24 years old, married with 2 young children, a senior in college, but still finds time to sell her bath and body products on 6 different web venues! A minimum of 100 packages a week are shipped to customers. By her own admission she is “addicted to smelling good” and that’s why she provides so many fragrances, and I guess others must be addicted to smelling good too!

She takes pride in her items, but believes in recycling, so you won’t see any pretty packaging here. It’s what’s inside that really counts, and apparently customers keep buying, so that tells you it must work!

One of her unique products is Charcoal Soap. This is the first time I have heard of soap of this type. This set of soap bars that look like blueberry brie cheese has a long name and an even longer list of ingredients which are all natural, and is supposed to be good for a whole variety of skin conditions. It would make a nice Valentine’s Day gift to that special someone who loves to luxuriate. These products almost look edible, and they have some of the most unusual ingredients!

Charcoal Rhassoul Dead Sea Clay Shea and Chamomile Face and Body Soap Bar (tm) - FULL Log of 12 Bars - $50.00
Each bar weighs about 3.5 to 4 oz. Shape of bar may vary from picture from batch to batch!
Each bar is made of saponified Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, and 40% Shea Butter, along with other skin nourishing oils and herbs. Made with the cold process method of soap-making, each bar retains all of its naturally created glycerin. Natural handmade soap, 100% vegan.

And for natural skin regeneration there is Squalane Serum, a derivative of olive oil.

A Message of Love

Message in a Bottle -- OOAK Polymer clay pendant -12.00
Inspired by Van Gogh's 'Paesaggio Marino', Sealed with a layer of Modge Podge, this polymer clay pendant comes with a black lace cord.

Deabusamor means 'Goddess of Love' in Latin. The artist chose this as her business name because she is showing her love by offering her jewelry and art. The artist describes her style as kitschy and funky, and says she has a high energy personality; loud but friendly.

The print at at the bottom shows a little of her dark humor and you will see a little of that in her Etsy profile as well. In her jewelry she works mostly in polymer clay, creating fascinating shapes and textures in her beads and pendants. One of these is this heart pendant above in blue and white, and the one below in shades of purple with rows of shapes on top of a base sheet. In addition to these two already made, she is open to doing custom orders and allows you to choose your colors, and will also make components for other jewelry artists to use in your own designs upon request.

Purple Tako Heart Sugar -- OOAK Polymer clay pendant - $15.00
Approximately 1.5", this lightweight polymer clay pendant is sealed with a thin layer of Modge Podge and strung on a black satin cord with a lobster clasp.

Her prints are first made as originals and then sent of to a printer to be reproduced. She has both photographic prints as well as her own illustrated/painted ones.

Watermelon Wally and the Terrible Accident - $12.00
8x10 print on acid-free archival paper
