Ahhh Sugar Sugar is an indie body care vendor that's hovered on the outer rings of my radar for some time. I've seen mention of the quirky brand here and there and read good reviews of their monthly body care subscription, box of sugar, which prompted this order. And if more proof is needed of...

Sea Witch Botanicals- essential oil soap and incense
Sea Witch Botanicals are purveyors of natural home fragrance, cosmetics and bodycare. I discovered this shop when a potter I follow, Kelsey Star Stuff, raved about the incense and shared a follower discount code on her instagram.
