I have tried Northern Essence and LOVE them, but I'm wondering if there are other WAHM stores out there who make shampoos, conditioners, body wash, baby shampoos/body washes, and/or soaps that I should try out. What are your favorites?

TIA!

I really love MMUCosmetics.com. She started the business before she became a mom, but it's really just her, her husband, and a few assistants. They make all sorts of bath goodies, cosmetics, lotions... They all smell fabulous! The selection is overwhelming. Sample sizes are pretty generous and are very inexpensive.

There is even a semi-related beauty messageboard that they run with product reviews. Emakemeup.com, if I remember right.

The only problem is that they are in Canada and they are a small business with a high volume of orders. So their turnaround time can be several weeks. Well worth the wait, IMO!

Hmm...sounds like they might be worth checking out. I could always place an order with them and get something else in the meantime. Thanks for the rec!

Lynne (calebsmama03) makes yummy soaps and creams. I don't know about shampoo though. I have some peppermint goat's milk soap of hers that I'm using now and love it! I don't think she's up and running full speed yet, but you could PM her. :)

Definitely PM her. I got some goodies from Lynne and I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the BEST stuff (WAHM or otherwise) I have ever used. The belly-butter, the lip-balm the chai-soap! HEAVEN!

Duh! I should have thought of her first! Thanks for the suggestion! At the very least, if she's not able to make it right now, she may have some favorite places. :)

ETA: How are you feeling Girlie????!!! I think I recall that your due date is coming up right now? Or am I totally on crack? :P
