This month's Profile in Awesomeness is extra special. I'd like to introduce Adrienne Justice, artist, teacher, momma, small business owner and also, my sister-in-law. But before you accuse me of nepotism, I promise you I would be featuring Adrienne even if her brother wasn't Mr. Oakley Soap Co. Her art is beautifully crafted and I am honored to have it on my walls, on my shelves, and around my neck. Look for a collaboration between myself and Adrienne's business, Tenderfoot Atelier in the fall.

I use The Oakley Soap Co. products because...
It feels like I’m doing something really special for myself on a holistic level. Deciding which scents to mix of soap, sugar scrub, and body butter feels decadent but the products also make me feel responsible. I know I’ve made a wise choice with my money by supporting a responsibly made, woman-owned product and venture.
Favorite Oakley Soap Co. Product
Emulsified Sugar Scrub
