Etsy Seller De ShawnMarie's soap

Lilac Rose Vegan Handmade Soap, made with real roses, lilac and coconut milk base.
Soft, feminine, sensual and intoxicating! This soap is hard for your feminine side to resist. This very romantic blend of lilac and rose is like walking through a Spring garden. It is gentle and soft on the skin but yet uses rose petals for exfoliation properties.

All of De ShawnMarie's soaps are made with nourishing coconut milk, herbs, fruits and vegetable based ingredients.
Congratulations to the creator of this beautiful scenty colorful flowery soap! It's so loveable to just look at let alone use.

MY FIRST DRESS DESIGNED AND SEWN BY ME

The silk fabric just sat in my closet for years when I finally came up with an idea of what to do with it. And here it is.. a pretty cocktail formal dress. I just took my scissors needle and thread and a bit of imagination and in 2 days this is what was created! I've never designed or sewn a dress before but after this i am sure there will be more to come.

CRAYON FACT! DID YOU KNOW THAT....

This is a necklace that I made myself when visiting Athens. I had bought the beads from a shop in Plaka. I loved strolling down Plaka and Monastiraki. And I really love this dazzling necklace which keeps my memories of Athens alive and especially the shop which had all sorts of beads and beading accessories you can think of!

Vermeil vs Gold-filled vs Gold-plated

Vermeil : Pronounced: Vermay) is sterling silver that has been gold-plated. This is a good combination for those with allergy to normal, plated findings. The difference between vermeil, and gold-filled, is in the thickness of the gold and the base metal used. In vermeil, the base is sterling silver. The standard is for the gold plating to be much thicker than ordinary plating

Gold-filled : also called rolled-gold. These jewellery findings are not actually filled with gold! They are made of a base metal (usually brass or copper) covered by sheets of gold in a mechanical bonding process. Effectively a thick coat of gold: the gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total weight. Use gold-filled items for your top-of-the-line jewellery. Usually made with 14k gold, it is hard wearing. With reasonable care it will not peel or flake, and should last as long as solid 14k gold jewellery. It is safe for most people with sensitive skin

Gold jewellery reacts with chlorine. Never take your gold jewellery into a pool or spa.
Gold-plated : A base metal such as steel or brass is dipped into a bath of electroplating solution, with a lump of solid gold. When an electric current is applied, a thin layer of gold is deposited on the metal. Since the plating is quite thin, the plate (and hence the colour) on findings can wear off.
