I was browsing Etsy to see what's new, what's in the works and just get inspired by all the beautiful creations when I stumbled upon DeShawn Marie's shop
Her sale caught my attention but mostly how her soaps integrated plants, herbs and grains and the beautiful golden packaging.
I placed my order on Wednesday afternoon and it was in front of my door on Saturday! Can we say fast shipping!!!
She also communicated well with me as I had a few questions and she got back to me so fast :)
When I received my package, I didn't want to open the individual soaps.
WOW at the packaging!!!
It gets even better! Here's the vanilla coconut soap which looks edible and smells divine
I love the way it is tucked in the box, like a Godiva chocolate and even has a little cover! I asked her if I can keep them in their individual boxes and whether the soaps can still breathe and she said yes :)
The perfect rose soap
Isn't it beautiful!!
It smells like a bouquet of roses!
One of my favorite : Chai tea!
This is a great scent for the cold days..
Who knew you could make rolled soaps??
Overall, I am very IMPRESSED!! My bathroom looks like a mini spa
I haven't had a chance to try them, all I do is admire them and sniff them..lol...but from the ingredients list, she uses gentle and nourishing ingredients. These soaps also make great gifts!!!
DeShawn Marie also has a blog and is on Twitter :)

WOW Amina, thank you for such a nice post. You took great pictures too :)
on dirait des boites de chocolats de l'extérieur.Belle présentation en effet!
Le savon roulé,pas evident à réaliser en cold process mais c'est interessant en patissavonnerie...
The soaps look pretty!
I purchased some of her soaps too:) I bought the rose, sea salt kelp, vanilla coconut, rosemary, and jasmine. Her soaps are HEAVENLY. She also has top notch service to go along with the presentation:)
Wow, those are beautiful looking and I bet they smell wonderful too!
I love how you support the handmade movement so diligently, Amina!

@Safiya: please share your thoughts once you visit her shop :)
Aww Amina, I wish you were first, am guessing next time...but with all the goodies I see here, you might not need another one.lol lol I tried using Aveno but later on realized my skin don't like it. So am sticking to any product not organic or homemade knowing i was warned my skin to react badly due to my situation. I really love everything you got and wish my skin didn't react to stuff, her site is lovely and sure can't wait to receive my goodies. YEah!!!
Okay..this 'pimpin of etsy' has to STOP!!!!...I LUV IT...but I HATE it....**sobs uncontrollabley as I clip 'pay now' options to purchase**
@YNC:oh no! I won't be greedy! Plus we need to spread the word!! Which soaps did you get? Did you take advantage of her soap sale?
Please post pictures once you get them :)
