Be mine, Valentine

Okay, so we first fell for Valentine Soap because of those darling little bird illustrations on the letterpress-printed packaging (the secret subtitle of this blog being "Things With Animal Motifs That We Seem To Like A Lot" and all). But when we learned the story behind Valentine, we knew our love would not be fleeting. Founder/owner Adele Peters started making her own soaps so she wouldn't have to deal with the icky toxic ingredients that go into some commercial products - she uses only all-natural stuff like coconut and olive oils, organic orange peel, essential oils, herbs, and botanicals, which makes Valentine better for your body, better for the planet, and better for the bunnies. (And you know how we love the bunnies.)

Turns out we discovered Valentine Soap just in time, as Adele's going to be discontinuing the line a bit before coming back next summer with some new additions like salt scrubs and shower gels. But all you L.A. ladies can still get your Valentines at these lovely boutiques: Matrushka and Uncle Jer's in Silver Lake, Oou in Los Feliz, and Soolip Paperie & Press in West Hollywood.
