SouthernEscentuals On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I recieved some soap samples from a shop on Etsy by the name of SouthernEscentuals

She sent me two sample sizes of her popular soaps, Watermelon and Cotton Blossom.

The first one I am going to review is the watermelon one. I was most excited to try this out because that it one of my all time favorite soaps of all time. I immediately went to wash my hands after opening this package lol. I was kinda disappointed when I opened the bag and took this out and smelled it for the first time. It didn't really smell like watermelon at all. I thought that maybe once I used it a few times maybe the scent would get better, but it didn't really. I mean it doesn't smell bad or anything it just didn't smell like watermelons to me. I did however really like this formula in the soap. It made my hands really clean feelings and super soft as well. I do like how she made this look just like a watermelon piece. It really is really cute, this would look adorable laying in a soap dish.

Retails:( $4.00 for full size)

Next up we have a sample size of the Cotton Blossom soap. I was excited to try this one as well. I am a huge lover of all kinds of soaps lol. I tried this one later on in the day and I actually enjoyed the scent of this one really enjoyable. This one smelled like clean laundry which just smells fresh and clean. I found it very surprising that I liked this one better. As far at the formula goes with this one I would say there the same, and I really enjoyed this one. This one isn't designed into a cool unique shape this one on is just s plain piece of soap, which is okay I still really liked it.

Retails:($4.00 for full size)

I also might have a feelings that maybe because both of these soaps were packaged together, the scent of the cotton one really over powered the watermelon one. Just because when I opened the bag that is all that I could really smell. I could be wrong though.... who knows.

These would be great gifts for anyone, you could make a really nice gift basket out of some of these products :)

PeaceLoveNKnottyHemp on Etsy! Interview :)

Name: Jen Howell

Location: Akron, Ohio

Age: 26

Name of shop: Peace, Love, and Knotty Hemp

How'd you come up with the name of your shop: Honestly, I just felt like it fit. I went over different names and it took a little while, but I wanted something that was catchy, and fun. 95% of the jewelry I sell is made with hemp, so it seemed to fit nicely.

How long has your shop been open: I opened my Etsy shop in 2013, but I was selling for about a year or so before creating my shop.

What gave you the idea about opening an Etsy shop: I had heard a lot about the site, and I was using other places to barter and trade my jewelry, so I decided to try Etsy to see what would happen.

Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: This is full-time for me. I am also a single mother and a full-time student, so I really try to spend as much time as possible on my shop, but some weeks I have more time than others.

What kind of items do you sell in your shop: I sell handcrafted macrame jewelry, made with hemp. I offer necklaces, bracelets, anklets, watches, barefoot sandals, keychains (although currently I do not have any available). I also have wire wrapped necklaces,earrings, handmade wire statement rings, nested rings, and I have mystery bags!

Your favorite item that you sell: Honestly, I don't have a favorite. I love all of the jewelry I sell and I mainly sell one of a kind items, unless I have a custom order request for multiples of the same item. I think having a special one of a kind piece of jewelry to offer is better than busting out 500 of the same item. One of a kind items give more of a personal touch.

Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: Well I currently have my own website in the works. Not sure when I will have it ready to go, but hopefully it will be coming in the following months.

Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: I plan to expand the items I sell in my shop, with more handmade products. Nothing is finalized yet, but I have a ton of ideas!

What is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: Everything I have for sale has been handcrafted by me, and made with lots of love! I want nothing more than to have happy customers who love their purchases. It makes me insanely happy to hear of people enjoying their new stuff from my shop. I make jewelry for everyone, including children (currently children's jewelry is only available with a custom order) I think that people have this thought that hemp jewelry is only for hippies, and I strive to tear down that kind of thinking. Hemp is a sustainable product and it can make beautiful things, for everyone!

My favorite item that is for sale in this shop has got to be this beautiful hemp anklet. I love the simplicitiy of this anklet and I also love how its pink as well. I'm in love with this pink beads they have a really cool crackle effect on them, which is super unique and pretty awesome. I love this anklet and this woul be perfect for summer, to show off on the beach :)
