Meiling Skincare
I love this soap for a number of reasons. It’s made with certified organic ingredients, each soap has a skincare benefit, the soap is made by a husband who wanted to make a soap that his wife would love for him to use, and it’s just an exceptional soap to use. I’ve tried a lot of handmade soaps and this one really stands out. It’s a a heavy, slightly oversized bar with a delicate natural fragrance from certified organic essential oils (unscented is also available), and it rinses very clean. I’m very happy with this soap.
Hook & Loom
Delightful area rugs in colors and patterns hand-woven on special looms from their unique recycled Eco Cotton or wool. “Handcrafted patterns and a unique springy feel lend cozy credibility to any room…Using our unique and innovative process, we create colored yarns from recovered textile fiber. Then we hand-weave our cotton rugs from this new yarn without dyes, chemicals, or latex. The result: delightful, durable rugs that last for years, and won’t bleed or fade in the washing machine. They’re soft on your feet and spectacular on your floor.”
