Safe and Sound Soap Co.:
I’ve made my Whipped Sugar Scrub in Two new scents this week. I have Orange Creamsicle and Lemon Lavender, Mint. For the Orange Creamsicle I used orange and vanilla essential oils to create a fruity creamy scent that’s light and perfect for summer time. My Lemon, Lavender, Mint is also made with essential oils and smells amazing!! All of my Whipped Scrubs are made with organic coconut oil, unbleached cane sugar, and castile soap, so they can be used as a moisturizing and exfoliating body wash! Also, don’t forget about my Non toxic Car Air Fresheners! These are made with high quality, clean fragrance oils that are vegan and phthalate and paraben free. They smell amazing and last over 2 weeks in your vehicle. They also make excellent gifts! I have these following scents available:
Sea Salt & Sand
Pink Leather
Laundry Day
Cashmere Date
Vanilla Macaron
Watermelon Sugar
Don’t forget to check out my All Natural Laundry Soaps, as well as my amazing sugar scrubs and hand sanitizing sprays.

NashPhilly:
Few new items this week.- Chicken, prosciutto pesto lasagnas for spring. We are taking the journey of exploring different and special lasagnas this spring and summer season. Delicious pesto sauce with spinach, sun dried tomatoes and of course lots of Italian herbs and cheeses.
Bruschetta. It’s tomato time and we have been wanting to do this for a while now. Tomatoes marinated in extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil and of course raw garlic. A great snack with some crackers, toast points, or you can even put it in a bed of salad greens.
Roasted Garlic and cauliflower soup. We roast the cauliflower with garlic, shallots, and thyme in the oven for one hour before blending it with vegetable stock. And finish it with truffle oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice. It’s a gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian. And it’s a home run of a soup.
