Wow, I'm so glad I found this shop. It was the owners grand opening and she had sample sizes for $0.20 each! That alone is a bargain, but the samples were 2oz each. Those are huge samples! I kind of went overboard with it and purchased 4 different things. I actually went so crazy with it that I put 2 bath soaks into my cart. I later realized this and asked the shop owner to switch that one out with a bubble bath. She was so kind and did this for me. My total, with shipping, was less than $10. The special price listings are no longer posted, but I'll put similar links on this post so that they can be found. The listings that she has on her shop have short Greek stories on them, which I adore reading and learning from.
Hestia's Hemp Body Wash

I chose lavender for the scent because the boyfriend really likes lavender. Surprisingly, he didn't like the scent of this one. Even if it smells good to me, why would I want to smell bad in his opinion? The consistency was perfect and it made my skin very soft. I've just been adding it to my bath, along with other things, so that I can still use it. It's silky smooth, but doesn't leave that slimy residue that some "silky" washes do. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this one.
Atlas's Arnica Pain & Muscle Soak

The muscle soak came in a large bag with enough for several baths. I've used it 4 times now and there's still some left. Way more than a normal sample would last. When I opened the bag and smelled its contents, it had a strong herbal scent. I made the joke to Waldo that I felt like a witch making her brew when I sprinkled it in. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't mix real well. The specks settled onto the bottom of the tub. I definitely feel more relaxed after my baths, but I think I like bath salts more. Or maybe I could just keep this as one of the things I add to my witch brew bath.
Zeus's Heavenly Bubble Bath
https://www.etsy.com/listing/182746434/bubble-bath-4-oz-zeuss-heavenly-bubble?ref=shop_home_active_9
This was wonderful. Silky and nourishing, just like the body wash. I don't really know what scent I received, but Waldo liked it too. It's definitely different from the body wash though. The scent was herbal-like with a slight undertone of a flower. It's one of the scents that make you want to have the ability to open your nostrils more. It made plenty of bubbles at first, but they didn't stay very long. I'll probably purchase this again, as it made me very soft. Everything from the shop made my skin very soft. This makes me think it's from the hemp.
Hermes Hemp Scrub
https://www.etsy.com/listing/183009135/2-oz-dead-sea-salt-and-hemp-oil-scrub?ref=shop_home_active_12
This scrub is my favorite of the lot! I've used it at least 7 times, on myself and Waldo, and I still love it. Unlike the body wash and bubble bath, this came in a cylinder container with oils and salts filled to the top. The salts settle at the bottom and it doesn't mix together, so I've got to scoop out a little of the salt from the bottom and the oils come with it of course. I've tried sugar scrubs before, but never a salt scrub. I have decided that I like salt better. My skin feels 100% better after I use this salt scrub. It's like my skin is begging for the oils and slurps them right up. I can tell they are high quality oils. Again, I think it's the hemp that makes my skin so unbelievably soft. The "Fresh Citrus" scent is extremely refreshing and clean. I will most certainly be repurchasing this scrub and maybe a few other things that she's added to her shop since the grand opening.
All of the products were very worth spending the money on. I felt pampered and luxurious, without the steep price. Even paying full price, I would say they're very worth it and affordable. Everything in her shop, excluding the sets, is less than $12.
