Soap Rehab Review & Giveaway

Sara at Soap Rehab designs vegan body products that use organic palm oil and no parabens.  These made-from-scratch cold process soaps, lotions and other bath and body products are made by using time-honored methods but with a modern kick.  Between bath soaks, body butters, and bar soaps, Soap Rehab offers it all!  With all of these products using natural ingredients, you can get clean and feel good about it, too. And the best part-indulging in a luscious treat for your mind, body and soul. Kick your bad soap habit and start a good one.

This month, Sara is offering 10% Soap Rehab’s “flavor” of the month, Wasabi Ginger.  Aside from entering this giveaway, you might want to consider snapping up something from this scent line!   

 1.  What got you started?

I was inspired to begin experimenting with all kinds of crafts as a young girl, sitting around my grandmother’s table with my mom, sister, and aunts. What a group of crafty women I grew up around. We tried all kinds of arts and crafts together. Once I learned to make soap, and I have been hooked ever since! All we’ve used in my house for years is my handmade soaps and lotions. I noticed how much better it has been for our skin and how our skin improved, and decided to bring it out into the world, so to speak.

 
2.  Why do you think it’s important to buy handmade?

I try to support small businesses whenever I can. I think shopping handmade means putting your money into an area of the economy that stands to have the biggest impact for us all. You’re putting that money back into the hands of your neighbors, families, real people just like you and me, with a name, face, and story behind their creations and businesses…not enormous impersonal corporations. And if consumer spending is the biggest marker of a strong economy, I think this could be the best way to pump up consumer spending.

 
3.  What are your favorite Etsy/handmade shops?

There are so many amazing shops on Etsy!  To name just a few: CobwebCorner (great jewelry), FunkyChicDesigns (very hip handbags), glasscircus (amazing fused glass), polishedtwo (more great jewelry), sedruola (beautiful scarves and such).
