Why I chose to give 30% of my sales in June to Saving Grace Animal Society

Since the opening of the shelter in 2018, Saving Grace Animal Society has successfully adopted out over 2600 animals, organized and completed over 15 major rescue missions (each bringing over 100 animals in to care) and made forever homes at the Sanctuary for 22 farm animals to date. They became a registered charity in December 2018, overcoming yet another milestone in just twelve short months of operation. In 2020 alone, they adopted out 1408 animals! They have been featured on local television and radio for the work they do in animal rescue.

The society works with phenomenal trainers and veterinary staff who devote their time to rehabilitate animals in care, ensuring those "unplaceable" animals receive their own "saving grace" with a chance at a new home and a life filled with love.

What is African Black Soap and why is it so popular

African Black Soap is often just referred to as Black Soap, even though it isn’t always black. It can also be found under different names such as Anago or Yoruba Soaps, depending on the region that it’s made in. It can be in shades of brown and has bits and pieces of plants and dried peels, which give it a scrub type of texture. Like the name suggests, it is made in Africa, and the best kind to purchase is Fair Trade African Black Soap because it helps to ensure that proceeds from the product actually go back to help support the communities that make the soap.

How Scents Affect Us and Trigger Memories

Humankind has known since the beginning of time that aromas can directly affect us in many different ways. The enchanting aroma of a sweet flower can lift and calm our moods, while the intense aroma of peppermint or spearmint can refresh and invigorate us. Fragrances and memory have a direct connection as well. Sometimes a certain scent will instantly remind us of a place, time or person.
