Last year I found Deshawn Marie on Twitter and she is an absolute doll. She is such a sweet person, open and friendly and she makes the very best handmade soaps I have ever tried. I won a year's supply of different handmade soap from one of her blog contests and have tried several all ready. Here is my list of favorite handmade soaps I have received one a month since winning the contest.
This is one of our most favorites around here, I love to use it and so do the kids. My teen just considers it her own and asks for some more. It smells good enough to eat, since it smells like you are bathing in a Dreamsicle. This scent is fresh and clean and well, just lovely.
This rose soap by DeShawn Marie is some of the very best. It is soft, sweet and feminine and it reminds me of my dear grandmother. It's an old fashion scent that will never grow old.
This is another awesome scent by DeShawn. It smells delicious and lathers well just as the others do. However, this particular scent reminds me of an old fashion Christmas at my grandparents house where there were always oranges by the crate sitting in the corner for anyone who wanted one and the sweet smell of licorice from the Christmas gum drop tree. This is the perfect Christmas time soap as far as I am concerned.
Fir Needle handmade soap by DeShawn Marie is absolutely wonderful. It really smells like you are out in the middle of a fir forest. I enjoy using it and realize that this is one of the best choices for the men in your life, even if you want to use it too. Try it and see what you think. It's a big hit around here.
Although, this is the last on this particular list, this is not in the least one of my favorites. I'd never tried Chai Tea before, but this handmade soap just smells wonderful and I think I may have to try some chai tea. I just love the cinnamon-y goodness of this particular soap.
If you love to pamper yourself, your significant other or your kids, I can tell you that you can hardly do it better when it comes to bath-time than when you are using any of the handmade soaps by Deshawn Marie. Find her, follow her and then love her soaps. It can't be any other way and I can vouch for that first hand after doing some of the product reviews of the free soaps I won from her blog contest.
I love Chai tea soap. Thanks for the list. H5

Hi PupFashionista, I can tell you that I am also super sensitive to various things that go into commercial brands. There are so many I'd not dare use, but some I've tried and learned better. These handmade soaps by DeShawn Marie has not irritated any sensitivities in me or the kids. I was a bit nervous, about washing all over with them, but they are wonderful for getting everything clean and smelling great, so as far as I am concerned, DeShawn's handmade soap is even better than Ivory soap and it comes in a lot of different scent too! I think she sells small bars too, maybe try some of those first. :)
What a cool contest to win! I've got several friends who make homemade soaps but have yet to try the art. I'm highly allergic to most fragrances commercial companies put in their soaps, so it would be one way of guaranteeing no asthma attack.
