I couldn’t quite decide when to do my spotlight on this fabulous ‘Local’, NoVA store. However, with Ladyburg getting ready to open a second location I thought this would be the perfect time to do a little spotlight. Not only do I love this store in general – the atmosphere and the product, but I love the owners. They truly believe in the product they are making and selling. Yes, making! Almost all of the products sold in the Ladyburg store are made in the Ladyburg store. Natural products, lots of vegan options, essential oils, local…I mean, it really doesn’t get better than that. I wouldn’t call myself all-natural or crunchy by any stretch of the imagination. However, I see the value and their place in the world. As my children get older, and frankly, as I get older and wiser the value becomes higher. The biggest selling point for me though was the price point. You can satisfy all your natural needs and desires for a reasonable price. That is truly unique. So lets take a look at some of the products.
They had me at ‘Ladybug’ with this little adorable bar. I love ladybugs. So much so that that is my daughter’s nickname, her room was like that until she was 6, birthdays, Halloween costumes, and any clothing I can find…..still. These little bars are like a compact, uber lotion. I have the gardenia scent and its a fairly strong sent; although that isn’t the only option. I’ve been using this fairly consistently for almost a month now and haven’t seen much of a change in its size and its doing wonders for the dry patches on my knees and elbows I tend to get in the summer time.
2. Shaving
Beer and shaving! Beer and shaving people. Seriously…..Beer. A very cool and kitschy addition to the Ladyburg shelves. Hubby is a shaving snob – we’re talking fancy badger hair brush and wooden handle single blade razor. We have yet to use the Ladyburg product because he still has his “Not to be named” other brand that he has to use up. Otherwise it would be a waste. Isn’t he cute? *sarcasm* But never fear, I’ll have this stuff investigated and checked out well within Christmas gift buying time. The
aftershave can be scented on-site from one of Ladyburg’s many Essential Oils.
Nature’s Neosporin, as I’ve been told. Calendula is a gentle and mild oil that does wonders for burns, scrapes, dry or chapped skin, rashes and the like. It’s perfect for those with sensitive skin as well. Crystal, Ladyburg’s resident skin expert and proprietor, recommended this lotion for my son’s eczema. Love it! It doesn’t hurt him if he suddenly gets a flare up, and it has kept it from getting worse. I use this baby on my legs, which are so crazy dry right now. This is a whipped creme and a little goes a really long way. Yet another product that really gets a lot of bang for your buck.
So the picture is of the kid version (which I spoiled by daughter with and bought a ton of them!!), but the link is to the full-size adult bath bombs. Either way, these things are amazing, super fragrant and leave your skin feeling soft. The kids absolutely go nuts over them because they bubble and fizz, as well as spin around the tub. Literally my kids fight over them, so I will be making a trip back to stock up on some more.
5. The Raw Bar
Now this is a super cool thing that I’ve only ever seen at Ladyburg. Now, you can get all your stuff made here, and I’d be surprised if you didn’t find what you wanted. However, there are those of us {myself included} who spend countless hours scanning Pinterest, and just really really want to make our own. All those ingredients can be expensive, so Ladyburg buys it in bulk so that you can buy it smaller and make your own stuff. How cool is that?!!
Here’s a few shots of a recent party for NoVA blogger we had over at the Fredricksburg location! It was such a fun time. Crystal and the whole Ladyburg family are absolutely wonderful and took the best care of all of us!
