Living life during a pandemic isn’t fun but Soap Creek Company has made it much more bearable. I love my baths so I broke out my stash of aromatic Artisan Soaps and butter bombs from Soapcreek Co. These exquisite Artisan-crafted soaps look too beautiful to use but trust me, it’s worth it. Soap Creek’s Artisan Soaps are available in more that 20 amazing fragrances, Lavender being one of my favorites. Each soap is beautifully crafted and infused with essential oils for a spa like experience.
Soap Creek bath and body products are formulated without synthetic fragrances, dyes, and other harsh chemicals and replacing them with sustainably-sourced essential oils, natural clays, minerals, butters, and herbs.and body butter cream
Soap Creek Company not only offers an array of pretty soaps, their butter bombs are amazing. If you enjoy bath bombs in your bath, you will love the 5 assorted scented butter bombs. They are very therapeutic and relaxing. Just knowing that I am soaking in an all natural product is comforting to me.
I strongly recommend the Lavender Eucalyptus Heel Butter. This ultra rich creamy balm works wonders on dry rough dry feet. Even if your feet aren’t rough and dry, this heel butter will make your feel feel soft and renewed. Try an at home pedicure and top it off with one of the beautifully scented Heel Butters.

Old-fashioned Quality and Craftsmanship
Not only are these products made in the USA, but they’re also crafted the labor-intensive way hand-poured and hand-mixed. There’s an actual person overseeing every step of the soap-making process from making sure the right ingredients get added at the proper time and in the proper amounts, to verifying that the mixing is thorough and complete. The end result is an original, artistic product.
About: Founded by Roxanne and Fred Johnson, Soapcreek Company is the Utah-based maker of organic certified artisan soaps and skincare essentials. The brand name comes from Fred’s favorite destination to visit within the Grand Canyon in Arizona. While Roxanne experimented with homemade soap-making as a kid, she became an expert as a wife and mom to provide natural body care for her son’s health. Diagnosed with thyroid problems, the family needed to make an entire lifestyle change from their diet to abandoning synthetic fragrance, dyes and chemicals frequently found in body care items. Sharing her homemade soap with friends and neighbors, she saw the holistic benefits it had for others. What started out as a small basement start-up has become a large-scale facility devoted to making body care products. Using minimal, recyclable packaging, the SoapCreek Company encourages people to conserve, re-use, recycle, and make the world a better place for all.

Clothing that’s bad for your health?
Clothing that’s bad for your health?
Check out these pieces that could be dangerous
Are you someone who’s always following the latest trends? Do you follow fashion bloggers and get your latest style inspiration from online influencers? Or are you someone who prefers to head to the mall and build your favorite new outfit from scratch?
Whatever approach you prefer, it’s amazing how certain pieces of clothing can leave us feeling confident and good about ourselves, which is why finding the right clothes for you is essential! However, did you know that in your pursuit of looking sensational, you could be putting your health at risk?
It’s true that you could head to the mall and slip or trip in the store – speak to a personal injury lawyer in Nassau County if this has happened to you – but did you know that some of the biggest risks to your health could be in your wardrobe? It’s true!
Read on to discover which items of clothing are potentially bad for your health.
Thong underwear
Sad, but true! Thong underwear is the perfect underwear choice for those who dislike full coverage “grannie-pants”, those who don’t want the dreaded VPL in certain outfits and those who just want to wear something that makes them feel good and sexy. Sadly, thong underwear has a long history of triggering vaginal infections and making the recovery process difficult. This is because of the way the underwear moves, potentially transferring bacteria into the vagina. Yes, they look great but if you’re prone to UTIs and other infections, you may want to opt for comfort over style – for a few days of the week at least.
Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans are a key piece in any wardrobe. Whether you’re a man or a woman, skinny jeans contour your body and cling to your shape, emphasizing your curves, legs and waist. While they do make us feel good and have the added bonus of being able to be dressed up or dressed down, skinny jeans can be dangerous to your health.
If your jeans are too tight then you can restrict the blood flow to your legs, leaving you with a pins and needles sensation and other potential health problems. Swelling is also another sign that your jeans are probably too tight! Swap out those skinny jeans for a relaxed fit or mom-style jean every so often.
And finally, flip-flops
They’re great at the beach, the lake and when it’s just too hot for sneakers. You’ll find flip-flops in every suitcase that’s headed for sunnier climes, but they’re also incredibly dangerous. Not only are you more likely to trip over whilst wearing flip-flops, but because they’re flat in design you may find that your gait is different, causing back, hip and ankle strain. Also, your feet aren’t protected from something being dropped on them, and if you forget to add sunscreen lotion to the top of your feet – you can expect some nasty sunburn scars!
If you enjoy wearing flip-flops don’t worry, always opt for a high-quality pair with a thicker sole. And take extra precautions in the sunshine!
