This is how my front door is going to look as soon as I get back from a MUCH needed Vacation.
Let me tell you a little bit about that I have been up to. Obviously I havent been on here giving you updates or.... anything I have been promising BUT I have a very good reason for that! As you know I have a baby (9 months old now) so this makes things even more difficult than normal LOL BUT in the last month I have had a booth at Carrot Fest in Bradford to help raise money for my sister in law that is going to be going to Zambia October 31st ( my favorite day of the year ;)) to help add onto an existing school. I will give a little more information a little later about this and where you can donate if you are interested. Every little bit helps!
By the way we did great at Carrot Fest our earnings AFTER the day was over and we took out all of our money we put in we ended up making $450 for her my sister in law and her mom!
Before Carrot Fest (which was just a one day event) I was apart of a booth in Sutton for the whole weekend... Well technically I helped with two booths and ended up with a business proposition buy the end of Saturday. So heres the story... I was helping a fellow vendor out because he accidently over booked himself with another show so I looked after his booth for the day. While I was there I sold all kinds of things for him including one of my favorite items ever... African Black Soap and Shea Butter all straight from AFRICA! By the time he came back I had almost sold out of all of his stock! Once he saw how interested I was about selling his product he asked me if I would be interested in doing this on a regular basis and of course I said YES!
For those of you who are sitting there going what the flip is African Black Soap and Shea butter here is a little info for you! And of course if you are interested in purchasing some of this from me feel free to contact me a britneyd.layne@gmail.com and I would gladly hook you up with some of this fantastic product!
Brief history of African Black Soap: Traditional African Black Soap is an all-natural soap made in Ghana, West Africa, and Nigeria. It is can be referred to as Anago Soap, Alata Soap, or Ose Dudu in some regions. The soap consists of roasted cocoa (chocolate) pods, plantain skin, and palm oil from coconut husks. (The plantain is a rich source of vitamins A & E and iron.) Black Soap benefits the very young and the elderly, or anyone with tender skin. Black Soap is known for its quality antiseptic properties and for its gentleness.
Benefits of African Black Soap: Authentic African Black Soap is centuries old and has numerous benefits. African Black Soap is used in its raw form for the face, body, and hair. For centuries, Africans have used Black Soap to help relieve blemishes, oily skin, and skin irritations and conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Many use this natural soap for bathing, washing their hair, and to removing make-up. Black Soap is so highly thought of, it is has been used in African spiritual purification's. Different regions make their own variations of Black Soap and the recipes are highly guarded. Its methods and secrets are passed down from generation to generation to keep the soap close to Mother Nature and to avoid exploitation & imitations. The authentic African Black Soap is not the mass produced imitation African Black Soap in packaged boxes often found in markets.
African Black soap is even good for dogs! It keeps there coat shiny and healthy and if there are any problems with fleas they wont have them anymore fleas actually HATE the soap so if they have them and you bath them in the soap they will actually jump off!
NOW FOR THE SHEA BUTTER!
AFRICAN SHEA BUTTER IS MADE FROM THE NUT OF THE AFRICAN SHEA TREE. IT CONTAINS A RICH AMOUNT OF UNREMOVABLE FATTY ACID WHICH RENDERS IT FAR SUPERIOR TO COCOA BUTTER AND OTHER NATURAL VEGETABLE BUTTERS. THIS FATTY ACID IS CRUCIAL TO REJUVENATING AND MOISTURIZING THE SKIN. SHEA BUTTER PROVIDES ALL THE ESSENTIAL VITAMINS NEEDED TO MAKE SKIN LOOK AND FEEL SMOOTHER, SOFTER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HEALTHIER.
