Specific items:
Balmy Summer Special
Strawberry Rhubarb Soap

Customer service:
Awesome customer service and communication! I originally joined a co-op that Rachel hosted and since my items were being shipped in a FRB, I ordered some of Rachel's products as well. Rachel is a great coop host. She keeps her customers updated at all times. She is very friendly and professional. She kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and let me know when she shipped my order so I knew when to expect it.

Product review:
The Strawberry Rhubarb soap is one of my favourite soaps from Rachel. It smells awesome and lathers so well. I haven't tried the lip balms yet but I'm sure they're just as great! I'll definitely be back for more!

When and where purchased: Rachel and I did a trade, swapping value for value. I asked for a surprise box and Rachel asked me for some scent preferences etc and we just went from there.

Specific items: soap, lemongrass lotion, knitters balm, body butter, lip balm, bath truffles

Customer service: Excellent! Rachel made sure to ask what scent families I liked and picked out wonderful stuff for me.

Product review: I love it all!! The knitter's balm is wonderful for feet (don't laugh.... I don't knit, so I tried an alternative use). The soap smells divine, the whole box smelled FANTASTIC when I opened it. I got Strawberry Rhubarb, Yuzu and Vanilla Sandalwood soaps and they're all yummy. Great lather, and I love the little exfoliating poppyseeds in the SR soaps. If I use the body balm before bed, I wake up with completely silky skin, still moisturized. The lemongrass lotion goes on smoothly and leaves a nice, fresh scent. The bath truffles are awesome, just the right thing to treat myself after a hard day.

Customer service:
Rachel is awesome to work with. I was actually part of a co-op that Rachel hosted and since my items were being mailed in a FRB, I asked Rachel if I could purchase some of her soaps so she could stuff them in the box and I wouldn't incur additional shipping charges. Rachel was so kind to do it for me. She responded to my pms right away and she is a great co-op host! She kept all the participants updated throughout the co-op by posting on the thread. The items were very well packaged. I would love to work with Rachel again!

Product review:
Rachel's soaps are amazing! I could smell them even before I opened the box and they are heavenly. I've only had the chance to use the Grapefruit and I love it! It is very creamy and leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. My only regret was not trying Rachel's soaps sooner. I will definitely order more.

Customer service:
Excellent, quick friendly communication and I was sent some nice fullsize extras to make up for the extra shipping I paid!

Product review:
I wasn't sure if I'd like the scent of these since I don't typically like the smell of mango, but they have a light and quite pleasant fruity scent so I'm thrilled (not that they were for me, but I wasn't sure if I'd like the scent when my own kids used them). Everyone we gave the to for Christmas got a kick out of them, likes the scent, and the younger kids especially love washing up with their ducky soaps. Definitely well-received gifts!

Tester, November 2007

Specific item:
Knitters balm

Customer service:
Perfect. Rachel contacted me about testing out her knitters balm, shipped it immediately, and thanked me for the review.

Product review:
I love this stuff. It really is a fantastic product. I have used during my nightly knitting since it arrived. It goes on smooth (I love the little beads of shea that melt on contact!), and I am able to knit almost immediately after rubbing it on. I just finished up a wholesale yarn order, and between the washing of the yarn and dye gloves, they were in serious need of help. Anyway, the balm has kept them well. It's actually my first time trying a product like it, and I would like to order some whenever you open for orders for it.

Oh, and the scent is perfect, not overpowering, but enough to make me love it.

Both the sewing and soaps are excellent quality. The shea lotion sample Rachel included is great and I'll definitely purchase some for winter. The soap decks are pretty and the perfect size for WAHM soaps. I'm very happy with how quickly my soaps drain and dry on the soap deck.

Specific item:

Organic diaper foam, 2 ounces.

Customer service:

Rachel is a dream to work with! She is always super fast, has great communication, and her stuff comes so nicely packaged with a nice extra.


Product review:

Rachel is a genius. This stuff is amazing. I was using a squirt bottle, and this is far superior to that! Here is what I have LOVED about it:

-lasts way longer than squirt bottles! This lasted for over a month!
-babies like it better. DS2 would usually flinch when I squirted him, but this comes out drier and is not really cold or hot, so no flinching!
-no dripping messes. It stays where put! Makes changes out and about much easier.
-it smells soooo amazing!
-it is also a great quick hand washer, and I have been rubbing a teeny drop into my nylon covers after changes to prevent that pee funk.

Definitely the quality that I would expect from SMA! Very cool stuff!

My freaking MAILBOX smelled delicious when I opened it. There were a lot more samples in the pack than I expected, and every one of them is OMG good. I mean, I want to eat them. Specific product notes:

- Lemongrass-ginger-mint soap - will definitely be purchasing this. If I could dip my whole body in this scent I would.

- Yuzu soap - really original fruity scent, one I've never smelled before in a soap but would definitely use or give as a gift. It's not too strong, not too sweet, just perfect.

- White Chocolate Truffle soap - another super yummy scent! This is a name I'd never pick (sounds too sweet to me) but it smells so good, like chocolate except...better? If that's possible.

- Lavender bath crystals - my daughter stole these immediately and ran around the house sniffing the tube. She'll have a little bit in her bath tonight, I'm sure. I'm not a bath person so won't be purchasing these for myself, but they're the nicest bath salts I've smelled...they really smell like pure lavender straight from the garden, really nice and whiffy and herbal.

- Organic shea rich lotion in pink sugar. Okay, this stuff is god. I have such a hard time finding lotion that is the right mix of wax and oil. This one is perfect, and light and fluffy to boot. Not a hint of separation even though it sat in a hot mailbox all afternoon. It's not greasy but it's still super rich. Oof, I love it. The pink sugar scent is really warm and vanilla-y without being cloying, very nice. I'm probably going to buy this in the lemongrass-ginger-mint scent, though.

So yeah, this is a rave. I am SO impressed with these products.

Customer service:
Rachel is very friendly and shipped immediately. She even offered a HC$ deal for the soap. Included a sample of white chocolate truffle soap, which is very moisturizing.

Product review:
The soaps are generously sized and each have a wonderful scent. The soaps are hard and don't seem like they will "melt" or get mushy as I continue to use them. The lip balm is for my coffee-loving dh, and he says it is smooth and he likes the scent- he said it is "manly" lip balm, lol!

Java Buzz coffee bean lip balm

Customer service:

Communication was quick, Rachel was a pleasure to work with again. Arrived quickly and nicely packaged.

Product review:

Handsoap lathers nicely and has a subtle scent. Great for the kitchen sink. The lip balm is fabulous. You can smell the coffee slightly when you put it on but then the scent fades. There is no taste at all with this and I love that. It's very long lasting. As you can tell, I'm very impressed with this lip balm!

Customer service:
Rachel is so kind and helpful. She has *really* taken the time to educate me! Before I met here, I did not know the diff between detergent soaps, glycerin, shea, or the processes! She is just always there to answer questions, and she is quick to respond/get your item out.

Product review:
Soaps;

First, all of the soaps have an amazingly thick supple smooth lather. Also, they LAST! They stay hard. It is weeks before I need another one. I also love that they are made using the cold process. This may mean I have to wait longer for her soaps, but this process sure does make long lasting soaps that are sensitive to the skin! Rachel can account for every ounce that goes into her soaps, and the ingredients she uses are natural and non-irritating.

Soaps;
-Peppermint seaweed-rhis is so refershing. It really wakes you up. The peppermint scent is smooth and mild, not artificial smelling at all, and the lather is thick. The color is lovely.
-Citrus spice-Really a hardy spicy scent. It reminds me of oranges adorned with cloves. Spicy and citrusy. Because of the spice, it is not as tart as the other citrus soaps.
-Lemongrass ginger mint-So unique. It is so special and so hard to describe. It just makes me smile. The lemon peels make a wonderfully gentle exfoliant. The mint gives the lemony scent a nice kick. It all combines to make such a nice fresh scent.
-Evergreen forest-This soap reminds me of Christmas, when the house is permeated with the lush scent of a fresh evergreens. The jojoba beads make a great exfoliant. I use this soap in the kitchen, where I really need some good exfoliation for those raw hamburger coated hands.
-Litsea-Sunny, happy, fresh, and clean smelling! This citrus scent is very tart. Truly a citrus lovers dream. The color is so pretty. Very suddle yet bright, in a natural way.
too.
-Yuzu-Gorgeous peachy mauve pink color. Very hard to describe this scent! Very feminine, but more mild than tuberose. Just lovely and classic.
-White chocolate truffle-Think chocolate and soap. This soap is so yummy. It smells like chocolate, but it also smells like fresh clean soap.
-Tuberose-Flower-y, very pungent. For the girly girl flower lovers out there.
-Oatmeal, milk, and honey-The oatmeal makes a soft exfoliant. The scent is yummy enough to eat. My preschooler loves this one. He kept smelling it, saying, "yummy!"
-Balsam-A manly musk, hints of evergreen. Not too manly for womanly use, however.
-WAHM samples in various flavors-When I first recieved my wahm samples, I said, "these are TOO big," very pleased, of course. They all came with a lovely sleeve with the SMA logo, Soap name, and purchase website.

Balms/moisturizers;
-Organic fair trade shea butter tin-this shea butter has the earthiest olive-oil-y type scent. I love it. Very thick and smooth. Super moisturizing. Stays put and lasts. I have eczema as does ds1, and this has been a great non-irritating long lasting moisturizer. Like a butter, it melts on with some rubbing, which makes applications easier.
-Coffee butter tin-melts on your skin! Love it. I have been using this on a very rough patch of skin on my hand, and it makes it look better and helps the dry cracking skin heal. I also placed it on one of ds1's eczema patches, and it really helped. Wonderful moisturizer. I also love how it melts on. We use thick oily moisturizers during the winter, but putting them on sometimes hurts because you have to rub alot before they spread and are pliable. This coffee butter just melts on with a gentle touch, so this time, my preschooler had no objections to an application.

Java Buzzz:Coffee Bean Lip Balm
White Chocolate Truffle Soap

Customer service:
So I'm looking at the cart and I link my friend on aim to the White Chocolate Truffle Soap and say 'I want this.' Without saying a word, she purchases the soap just as I'm typing that I've just treated myself and bought it for me. My friend says, well now you have two! hahah

I email Rachel right away, tell her the story and ask if she has any other scents I might like. She recommends a few and we decided on the Citrus Spice that she is going to be stocking later in the week. I say great, she combines shipping and it arrives with speed!

Product review:
YUM is all I can say about the lip balm and body butter. wow, I want to eat the whole thing, or put some milk and sugar in it and drink it! The Citrus spice soap smells fantastic and I can't wait for my husband to use it. I really think that it will smell nice on his skin too. I even got a sample of her "Bee Mine" Honey and almond soap, which was a real treat. It's a good sized bar too! I know my babies will love slathering up with it.

All in all a great experience!

Specific item:
2 Java Buzz Lip Balms

Customer service:
Great!

Product review:
These lip balms are so great. Truly the best I have ever tried. Okay...so, first, the scent is tdf. It smells like high quality perfectly roasted expresso beans. And, the best part is that the smell is natural, not artificial, because it is the natural scent of the coffee butter. The feel is luxurious. It glides on, kinda melting on your lips, like butters do, but unlike pure butter, it is blended so well, it is firmer and will stay on. It is softer to wear than chapstick, but it firmer than just plain oils...perfectly balanced to go on easy yet stay on. It also has no after taste, which is a huge plus for me as most lip balms do. Another plus is that this scent is man-friendly! My hubby loves this stuff. He really appreciates having a lip balm that feels and smells so good, without the scent being 'girly.' And, the container is oval, so it is so pocket friendly. This lip balm is the best! Really!

Product Review:
We're coffee lovers here, so the lip balm is a huge hit. My lips were dried out from the winter weather, but after having this on, they're nice and soft again. The lip balm stays on a long time too!

I love the scent of peonies, so the soap is now another favorite. Like her other soaps that I've used, this leaves my skin so soft! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

We ordered the soap sampler and both DH and I love it! So far we have used the Lavender Shea, and the Peppermint Seaweed daily and the soap is just lovely. It is scented nicely but it is not over poweringly so, and the soap is really moisturizing, perfect for this winter weather!

We will definitely be ordering more of the soap, now I just have to figure out which scents to order for my mom and sisters!

I have not had time to try the lavender tea bath yet (surprise) but it is relaxing just smelling it…..

My dd also loves the rubber ducky soap. It is perfect for her sensitive skin.

Love the soap!

I've never been more delighted with a gift! The lavender soap was extremely moisture-rich and I'm buying some more from FEAST so that I can be sure to keep my dishpan hands soft this winter. The soap lasted a long time despite constant use and has an incredibly rich scent. I loved the Tub Tea, too. I have very sensitive skin and it reacted really well to exposure to the teas. And the scent - heavenly! I highly recommend these products.

Product review:
Rachel's soaps are luscious! They smell so wonderful, wet or dry. They are also so pretty! Actually, they smell and look so nice, I have left them all out on my kitchen shelf, LOL! The lather is so soft and silky, and the lavender buds in her lady lavender shea soap make the softest exfoliating scrub. The only downside is that you may never buy another bar of soap from your local natural foods market, LOL. They are just so *fresh* smelling compared to other natural soap bars!
I also ordered some much-needed lavender sachets, and they are so wonderfully and naturally pungent! They are also very well sewn/made.
I love Rachel and her beautiful soaps! I feel spoiled everytime that I wash my hands, LOL!
