I honestly didn’t know what to expect from all-natural, vegan bar soap. I used a conventional brand of soap for years, and felt like it was time for a change: better for me, better for animals, better for everyone and the earth. So, when I came across Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps lavender bar soap ($4.19) in a grocery store one day, I decided to take my chances and give it a go. Let me just say, I will never buy conventional soap again. This soap smells incredibly floral and fresh, better than any faux scent. It also does the job exactly the same as any other soap out there, but it’s made of nothing but pure, natural ingredients: . Most importantly, it’s cruelty-free. And it’s made with 100% certified Fair Trade ingredients, so everyone really does win from buying this brand. I know that I will be buying it again, along with other products from their rather large line. I hope all of you enjoy it as much as I do!

Jackson Sage makes amazing soaps that are all handmade, cold-processed and contain natural oils, butters, herbs, clay and pure essential oils. They are beautifully packaged and they smell divine.  A single bar of soap just sitting on your bathroom counter will scent the entire room, eliminating the need for any type of air fresheners or plug-ins.

Handmade organic soaps $6.50 each

These soaps rock my world:

Blue Eucalyptus & Lavender Soap ($6.50): This exfoliating and deep cleansing bar of soap contains Fair Trade Shea Butter, Organic Almond Oil, French Green Clay, Apricot Meal, Blue Eucalyptus and Lavender Essential Oils. Eucalyptus and Lavender – two my favorite scents together? I’m sold. I’ll take 12! Speaking of, holiday season is just around the corner and these soaps would make great gifts!

Rhassoul Lavender Soap ($6.50): This soap contains Rhassoul Clay, Shea Butter, Lavender Essential Oil. I like the word Rhassoul; I think it’s beautiful (go on, say it out loud). This soap has detoxifying, toning and moisturizing properties. It smells wonderful and makes my skin feel super smooth.

Garden Hippie Soap ($6.50): Before even reading the ingredients I figured Hippie = Patchouli… and I got a lil’ nervous. Even though I’m not particularly a fan of patchouli, this combo of Rose Clay, Shea Butter and Pure Essential Oils of Patchouli, Geranium & Lemongrass was perfect! I’m in love with this soap.  Maybe it’s also called “hippie” soap because it inspires love (for the soap).

After sudsing it up, I highly suggest you moisturize with some Lavender Recovery Body Cream ($27): This cream contains moisturizing shea butter, healing aloe vera, skin firming Atlantic kelp, anti-oxidant rich red rooibos tea, age fighting hibiscus extract and calming, pure lavender essential oil. This cream is pure, vegan, it smells beautiful and the consistency is just right. I’ve been using this cream on my body right before I go to bed and it really helps ease me into a sleepy, relaxing mode.

Body Recovery Cream $27

Pooch Products:

Dog Shampoo Bar ($10): This gentle bar of soap contains natural glycerin, moisturizing jojoba oil, healing neem oil and pure essential oils. This formula has anti-inflammatory and insect repellent properties and it’s perfect for dogs with dry, itchy and sensitive skin. Your pooch is your baby, and your baby deserves the finest and purest skin care.

Dog Shampoo Bar $10

Jackson Sage also make amazing an Herbal Dog Shampoo ($16), Hot Dog Balm ($13), Therapeutic Herbal Mist ($12) and Dog Conditioning Mist ($12). Don’t judge me but I used a lil’ of the dog conditioning mist on myself and it added a beautiful, healthy shine that my hair desperately needed. I only used a little bit and it totally helped keep my frizzies at bay. Hmmm, researching all of these dog beauty products makes my want to adopt a pooch pal. Perhaps it’s in the forecast.
