Day 4 Etsy Excellence! (((sniffff))) mmmmm you smell good!

True story: once before the days of being a Sadie Sadie Married Lady, mommyhood, etc. My Mister and I were staying in Chicago ( I believe it was) for a  tournament (he coaches youth boys soccer). We got a knock on the door-room service checking to see if we needed towels. I answer" we are good on towels" and a (quite) sturdy, young housekeeping employee exclaims (and she totally EXCLAIMED), "Daaaamn Girl! You smell gooooooood!"
no lie. It was my B&B Works shampoo (which they don't make anymore- smelled like donuts). Rob had been asleep.  As I closed the door, I hear him just bust up laughing.
To this day he still says it to me from time to time as our private lil funny-funny. ;)
Anyhoo..

Back then I was able to try different products and scents on a whim. I didn't have a married-two-kids budget. If I bought something and didn't like it, I threw it away or swapped with someone else. When Amalia came a long, times changed. She was allergic to the laundry soap we used and developed HORRIBLE eczema at 1 year old. She still has scarring on the tops of her hands. We've gotten it under control now but it changed the way I looked at our skin. I wonder if my acne flare ups could be due to me actually having sensitive skin as well. I decided to shop Etsy for skin treatments one day and found this shop. I don't bother to buy anything else. Sure, some of the items are more expensive than I have paid for other products in the big box stores. BUT! These products have no extra junk so you don't need to heap a huge amount in your hand to do the job!! Keep that in mind. Do not "glub glub" product onto your body. If you need to do that to get your body feeling clean (or your laundry-same thing!), the product isn't right for you. 

My Day 4 award for Etsy Excellence goes to a shop with soaps, lotions and other body yummies far more natural and FAR more handmade than Bath & Body!!

Recently featured on Channel 2 News in St Louis (whoop whoop!), Oh Sudz features Artisan Handcrafted Face, Body and Home Care. 

 

something for everyone on your list!

I swear by their acne system- it is the only thing that keeps my skin clear AND DOES NOT over dry my face. (Found Here)  I also use and adore this lotion for it's light scent and intense moisture:

Monoi oil Shea butter lotion

Other OhSudz goodness: (I can attest to it's wonderfulness)

I use this on Athan's dry lips and impetigo under
 nose- works better than his antibiotic topical

Gail's soaps are fabulous. I recommend the Goat's Milk as
 I received it as a sample and it was a fantastic exfoliant bar!


Goodbye my old Clean & Clear favorite lotion of the past 10 years...
 HELLO! Natural, plant based Aloe Vera Gel with nothing extra to re-clog the pores.
Before using this product, I would have a never-ending cycle of dry skin needing moisture-->breakout needing to be dried ---> dry skin, repeat. Not with this little bottle. My skin is totally balanced and happy now :)

 Gail, finding your shop was an amazing discovery for me! I no longer have to dread washing my make up off to see what cropped up while I was wearing it, THANKS TO YOUR STORE!

The confidence I have putting these products on my family is not something I was used to enjoying in the past.  I know exactly what is in these bottles and it's working!! I really love you for that!

Here is your award  ;)
