You don’t need to go to a spa to feel relaxed

• The hustle, bustle, and hassle of modern life leaves a lot of people feeling overworked, tired, stressed, and in need of a little pampering.
• Take the phone off the hook, put the kids to bed early, lock the bathroom door, light the candles and step into a relaxing, luxurious bath.
• Grab a "real" bar of soap and be prepared to drift away in a tub filled with fragrant natural oils and lots of bubbles.
• Leslie Joyner talks passionately about soaps and oils that benefit the face and body and the benefits of aromatherapy.
• Her business card doesn't reveal how "Soaps from the Suga Shack" got started.
• However, Leslie is ready to tell anyone about why a natural bar of soap, without animal fats and additives, is better than commercial brands in stores.
• A couple of years ago, she left the cut-throat corporate world as a retail cosmetic manager, after fifteen years, to turn her hobby into a business.
• At farmer's markets located in Pikesville, Howard Park off Liberty Road, and Waverly on 32nd Street in Baltimore City, Soaps from Suga Schack displays an array of soaps and related products Leslie makes in an array of colors, shapes, and scents.
• If you get into aromatherapy and inhale the soap, which contain essential oils that I add, you will get an extra benefit that is fantastic.
• That's where I bring in a little bit more modern technology to an old time technique of soap-making.
• The lemon in Leslie's lemon soap has real lemon rinds in it and is proposed to lighten, brighten and tone the skin while its essential oils can be very uplifting when inhaled.
• On the other hand, commercial soaps contain chemicals and mineral oil that clog pores, she says.
