A DOLL GUIDE - FOR EVERY POCKET

Dolls mean different things to different people. There is a large and varied collection of "dolls" on etsy. There are show dolls, stuffed animals, characters and cuddly dolls that live every day with their playmate. The prices vary from $7.20 to $425.
I hope there is something here for you. Next month I will do another doll guide, so keep looking.

DELICIOUS WAYS TO LATHER UP

I am intrigued with the chemists that we have in Unique Women In Business (UWIB). These women make soaps that sound good enough to eat but really do a great job lathering up.

Soapy Pleasures' passion is making soap. Her products are formulated with only natural products and enriched with sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E. The soaps that I featured from her shop will give you cravings. They are called Strawberry Daiquiri, White Chocolate Mocha and Gardenia.

Aquarian Bath is an herbalist and organic gardener as well as soap maker. She makes salves and extracts as well. She takes pride in making quality products with no artificial chemicals or colors. Most products are either unscented or scented with essential oils. Her soaps also sound good ennough to eat. They are called Molasses Cookie, Cucumber and Spearmint.
