Let me start things off with Faeriemade Soaps – and let me tell you how this wonderful woman has changed my life. Although this is getting somewhat personal, I really would like you to see how much Etsy has changed my life thanks to the wonderful community there. I suffer from severe shoulder bursistis that gets incredibly, chronically painful in the winter. It gets so bad that I can hardly dress myself, let alone do anything else without being in pain so bad that I want to pass out. Then I order a facial cleansing set off of Faeriemade, and with it she includes a sample of arnica muscle rub. Arnica, I find out later, is a natural flower extract that has anti inflammatory and painkiller attributes – and it has absolutely killed all of the pain I have. I can craft all winter, I can dress myself all winter – I can be absolutely normal all winter and I owe it to her. Although this gets very off track, if you suffer through the type of chronic muscle pain that I did, you should definitely try it out. She’s having a 15% off sale that lasts until December 6th, and everything in her shop is just wonderful and effective at what it does.

Savor, one of my favorite soap sellers, has been putting up incredibly discounted bath and body products periodically throughout the day. Even if you don’t catch a Savor Saver, there is a ton of great things to buy over there.

Ten Digits Creations has a ton of soy candles and bath and body products on their store, and they are offering 10% off of all of it.

Dennis Anderson’s soaps have always held me in thrall, and today he has an entire Black Friday Special section that will get you drooling with all of the fervor of a bargain seeker.

Spatherapy was my first handmade soap love, and they are having all sorts of secret Black Friday deals scattered throughout their shop. I just got their Sweet Fig Compote sugar scrub today, and let me tell you I am feeling absolutely decadent.

Spa Therapy was my first soap love – they are based in Baltimore, which is a stone’s throw away for me, which makes it even better. They just came back from vacation which was basically about moving to a new bigger location – woohoo, more soap. I got vegan deodorant – raspberry / vanilla, ginger vanilla soap, and tea tree lime soap from there.

Unbeknowest to me, Toxic Earth decided that I should get a birthday present, and by god that birthday present was going to be soap. I am certainly not going to complain about that, and I ended up getting an 8 soap sampler from Savor’s Soap Shop. There were some really cool soaps in there, although the favorite is up in the shower right now – Strawberry Rhubarb.

Just last week I met the wonderful LJCTree – who happens to make wonderful soaps and she is after hemp – such a wonderful combination, is it not? I did a great trade with her for these two soaps, and I had to stop myself from just trying to take a bite out of the chocolate soap. It smells that darn good, and the other has a lovely fresh fragrance.

Amethystsoap has some of the coolest looking soap I’ve ever seen – their main line looks just like turquoise and amethyst. I’m also trying out their honey complexion soap, because anything that helps to clear up my skin is going to get a high five from me lol.

Before I ever started selling on Etsy, I was a buyer – I found them in March and didn’t start selling until the end of August, so it was a big stretch where I was just looking at things to buy. One thing that I’m a fan of in general is bath and body products, so when my acne treatment ran out (darn that adult acne crap) I decided to try handmade. I choose Spa Therapy’s store because I heard great things about them on DIYScene, and their feedback was great on their store, plus the photos just look fun. I wish  I had to do soap photography over jewelry haha – it just looks like it would be a lot more fun.

The first thing I ordered was the black raspberry vegan deodorant. I’m not a big fan of store bought due to the fact that even though I’m sitting on my booty working from home all day long, I still have to reapply deodorant – I don’t know what is up with that, but it’s annoying. So with Spa Therapy’s deoderant, I was amazed at a few things. First off, it smells beautiful. Secondly, there is no residue. Thirdly, I don’t have to reapply all day long, and there’s this subtle raspberry scent all day long. I love it I love it I love it.

The second is the Tea Tree Lime Facial Soap. I’ve been switching between Proactive and Wexler treatments for my adult acne, but it really hasn’t been doing much but drying out my skin. Spa Therapy’s facial soap smells of lovely lime for sure, and it doesn’t irritate my skin at all. It also seems to be helping with the stubborn acne spots that have refused to be treated by anything for years. If this stuff has my face clear in a few weeks I’m going to take the 45 minutes to drive down to Baltimore and give them a great big hug.

Spa Therapy also sent me a free sample of their Ginger Vanilla soap – I cannot begin to describe how awesome this soap is. I’m totally a body wash girl, but I do believe this generous sample has gotten me back onto the soap train. It lathers great, leaves this amazing scent on my skin, and is just so wonderful. Count me converted to handmade bath and body products!
