Monday Giveaway and Feature: Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen {CLOSED}

Congratulations to Wehaf for winning this giveaway!

This week's giveaway is from Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen
Back in October I did a feature on Rebecca where we learned a lot about her, her soaps and how she became so successful on Etsy and Artfire. (Read the interview here.) In the interview, Rebecca mentioned her health was down so when she contacted me about doing a giveaway, I decided this would be a great opportunity to follow up with her.

Rebecca has had a rough few months. While she was able to fill orders as they came in, she has been mostly non-functioning. After a long struggle with finding the right medications to treat her bipolar disorder, she is starting to feel she can do things again, and has made her first batch of soap in several months. The soap will be part of her spring line and smells like Rice Flower and Vanilla.

Rebecca's goal for 2010 is really simple - get back into the swing of things; make soap and promote her shops again. Rebecca already has purchased lots of new scents and is ready to go. Now, she's taking baby steps back into marketing her shops. In 2010, Rebecca also hopes to stay on top of her bookkeeping - every year she ends up slacking until sales tax is due.

This week, win a set of 3 bestselling soaps: Lavender Mint Soap, Falling for You Soap, and Raspberry and Vanilla Soap.


These handmade, cold process soaps are perfect for dry or troubled skin. Great as facial bars or all over. Bars contain both shea and cocoa butters, as well as an abundance of skin loving oils such as Olive and Rice Bran, both known for their moisturizing properties. These soaps are cleansing, but also leave behind a bit of your body's natural oils to help smooth and rehydrate your skin. They will leave you feeling moisturized and not oily. They also make great shampoo bars.
