MONDAY MUST HAVES: PURE SHEA EVERYTHING!

YO,

So I stopped by the local flea market, PATAPSCO Flea Market, just to go by this stand. PURE SHEA STORE.

I love this small business and everything they stand for. Here's some back story: "Savannah Essentials, LLC dba Pure Shea Store was born out of the need for a premium hand-made soap created the way Grandma Pearlie and Dee Dee once made it. The company was founded by Chris Thigpen in 1999 in his garage in Maryland. Pure Shea Store had its growing pains like most small enterprises but has grown and thrived. Our passion in natural products started as a hobby almost thirty years ago in rural North Carolina and suburban Illinois. Our founders grandmothers made soap in the old fashioned way, in an old black cast iron pot with herbs, flowers and wood ash in the yard. As a kid, the family would make soap to barter and trade with our neighbors and friends. As the years passed, so did both Pearlie and Dee Dee, but the tradition of soap making still lives on in the Thigpen family. "
