Check out My Friend Norma's Soaps

I love to create and sell handmade items. Anything from soaps to dolls and everything in-between. I was so lucky to find out about etsy and get the pleasure of meeting alot of new "artsy" folks online. I feel really blessed to have meet Norma with Norma's Bath nd Body before she closed her shop on etsy. Don't worry Norma has her own website (click on the title to find her).
Norma creates the cutest and yummiest melt and pour soaps!
She also makes sugar scubs and all kinds of wonderful bath products!
This is one of her soaps that looks and smells so much like the real deal!
