A stray dog walked me home from school when I was in the fourth grade.
My mother greeted us at the door, and I asked if I could keep her.
With only a short pause, she ushered us both in and then fed the dog, first.
Growing up, animals were always welcome in our home. Many of them were homeless and/or broken in one way or another. Because of this, I've always felt a deep sense of responsibility to help animals in need, but this work takes patience, open hearts and funding.
Every day, more pets end up in kill shelters around the country. Lucky are those who are rescued by people who care. There are many animal rescue organizations doing this good work. Here are a couple of my local favorites:
I recently purchased the rose scented soap, chapstick and deodorant and I can’t rave enough about them. They are phenomenal! Beautiful and amazing - the soap is lovely and I’ll be needing a new one soon; the deodorant is one of the few that work very well on me in keeping me dry as well as smelling like rose throughout the day, and the chapstick is so smooth. I love it all!
I'm not a fan of washcloths and plastic poofs, but I wanted something to hold the soap lather and gently exfoliate my skin in the shower. This sponge is just the right size and holds the lather well.
This soap smells so clean and fresh. It makes me think of summer, and lemonade, and all things citrusy and bright. It's like a bar of sunshine!
In my enclosed shower wow wow wow it's like showering in a lilac forest what a way to wake up so thank you Valerie

I love this soap. I haven’t purchased one that I don’t love. I given it as gifts. My friends are loving it too!
Love every soap I have purchased! My skin feels like silk!
Absolutely love them!
The Vanilla Bean candle smells like you are inside the cake. It is subtle, warm, and sweet. It is the fastest way to make your house seem like you were just baking something delicious. I love to burn this upstairs so the scent drifts downstairs and tickles your nose with a hint of sweetness. The burn time is so good, the candles last a good while. This is winter/holiday favorite.
This is my favorite candle. I love the scent of brewing coffee and this candle perfectly encapsulates it. The burn time is wonderful. The scent is strong enough to fill a few rooms without being overwhelming. This is my go-to when I cook shrimp or broccoli. I also keep a few on hand for throw down gifts. Cuppa Joe candle and a gift certificate is how you get them hooked.
Smells amazing! I haven't tried them yet. I received my order today and can't wait to use them. Shipping was very fast, the soaps were beautiful and they all smell great!
