Soapwalla Kitchen

Back in middle school I had a friend who's mother was a nurse and switched her to aluminum-free deodorant. And that's when it started - my search for a natural product. Back then I only wanted it because my friend had it. But now I realize my momma blessed me with beautiful skin and don't I owe it to her and myself to keep it safe and healthy?

After years of casually searching for something (those rock sticks you wet, totally ineffective natural producs)that actually worked, I stumbled upon the Earth Friendly Weddings after a recommendation from a friend. Second post I read - all about a fantastic deodorant from where else, but my favorite place Etsy!



Soapwalla Kitchen makes an all-natural, aluminum-free deodorant cream in her Brooklyn apartment. It is fantastic! It smells incredible, is as smooth as lotion, and isn't irritating after showering. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't looking to change deodorants. I forgot to stir it before using and it wasn't very effective, but on the second day after some stirring it worked great. Dry and smelling like roses, I'm HOOKED.

And a bonus, I needed more body oil (way better than lotion in the summer, I put it on one night a week and no slimly lotion skin when you get sweaty, by the way) so I tried Soapwalla's Luxirious Moisturizing Body Oil. It's HEAVEN and smells delicious.

Mmmm...Avacado.

I love food. And right now I'm hooked on this delicious treat:


A fresh, soft roll from the Good Bread @ R Family Farm picked up at the Skowhegan Farmer's Market toasted; topped with melted goat cheese, cool slices of ripe sweet cherry tomatoes, and avacado.

True heaven. And best enjoyed with a glass of Three Blind Moose Riesling.


Try it for yourself - let me know what you thinkg!
