Indies of the Week: StoLat Organics/Bovine Bubbles & Hogwash - September 18, 2008
Here’s a business with a heart….you just can’t find this type in the mall. According to their website, “The name, StoLat Organics, as you may be wondering, comes from the Polish wishing of wellness and prosperity. The literal translation, as used for a toast or a song, is “May you live a hundred years”. That is what we wish for all of you, and may you celebrate every moment!” Now doesn’t that make you just want to plunk down your hard earned dollars? You know it does.
This New England-based business was started by Amy Gendreau in response to her children’s eczema and very dry skin. She couldn’t find anything suitable to help until she did her own research and started making items herself. Everything in this skin healthy line is just plain good for you. If you are looking for a great product, I have to recommend their Rejuvenating Herbal Honey Lotion. Made with ingredients such as coconut, neem oil & aloe vera, it feels light & luxurious on your skin. Great for all skin types. 
You may also enjoy the Lavender Oat Face & Body Bar. Yes, it’s gentle enough for your face and your body…and smells delightful. If you have dry skin & love to use soap in the shower, this product is for you.
Other great items include 100% shea butter, luscious sugar scrubs & wonderful lip shimmers…these are essentially a lip balm with a touch of color. Divine! There’s no reason not to shop…for a limited time only…all domestic orders will enjoy free shipping! 
Oh, we love our Canadian friends…& they make some great products up there. Cara Rusnak Swenson runs Bovine Bubbles & Hogwash up in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
The name is great & the products are a blast. I told Cara that I couldn’t wait to write about Bovine (and nope…nothing smells anything like pigs, I swear). I simply loved the Foaming Bath & Shower Dough…great stuff which cleanses, exfoliates & sweetens your skin all at the same time. omg…the Apple Mint Muddle is to die for. I’d never smelled the combo of apple & mint & I have to say…it’s amazing. Other scents include Birthday Cake & Canadian Maple. If you purchase one product from now until the end of the year (and you find that you need some comfort), do not miss their Decadent Buttercream scented in Sinfully Strawberry. This product contains coconut oil & shea butter and the top has cocoa butter sprinkles….oh, and it’s pink. If you love strawberry, you’ll love the true scent. 
If your hands need an extra boost, you’ll be thrilled with their Garden of Weedin Hand Repair. This is an unscented product made with pure vegetable oils & butters along with local creamed honey & beeswax.
Bovine sells jams too! Yes, that’s right…along with your body goodies, you can pick up some delicious Canadian jams for your tummy. Be sure to check out this fabulous independent business today.
