I love following brands on Instagram because I can always see new products or cool ways to use/style the products that I already have (and probably spend way too much money because of it).  But one thing I’ve also come to love is the ability to learn about and support small businesses.  You can find a lot of gems out there, and it’s super cool to me to be participating in helping someone’s dream come true, especially if they have a really cool product.  Shea Shea Bakery is one of these small business gems. They are steadily increasing in popularity because their product is absolutely amazing.

   So the first time I saw them on Instagram I was like omg someone made some delicious looking pancakes!!!  But when I clicked on the picture and read the information further, I learned that it was actually a jar of their Pancakes and Maple Syrup Shea Butter!  So I only recently began using Shea Butter, and I am so sad that I am late to the party!  Shea Butter is a triglyceride (fancy word for fat) that’s derived from African Shea trees and is commonly used in beauty products because it is extremely moisturizing and contains awesome Vitamins like Vitamin A, K, E, and F which help protect and repair damaged skin.  In the African-American community, we love this stuff because we can also use it on our notoriously dry hair.  So this is pretty much just a magical product.  Shea Shea Bakery takes it to the next level though, and allows you to reap all the benefits of the magic while smelling like all of your favorite desserts.  I’m not kidding, probably any dessert you can think of, they have… AND IT SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE THE DESSERT.

I was having trouble deciding which flavors to go with first because I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world and love smelling like sweet things (so this brand was like a dream come true for me) so I bought all of the sample packs so I could smell every single option.  Guys each thing really does smell exactly like the food that it is modeled after.  And if that isn’t enough, you have these beautiful hand crafted jars that are made special to order with the option to add your favorite add ons like sprinkles or nuts.  This really is an exceptional high quality product that is made with a lot of care and love.  If desserts and candy aren’t really your thing, they also have several different fruits and other non-dessert specific scents like Island Getaway, a blend of berries, pineapple, and mango, or mommy’s butter, an orange spearmint blend.  In addition to all of their Shea butters, they also have other body sprays, soaps, and facial products.  Shea Shea Bakery’s products are for people of all ages and have been used by people with Acne, Keratosis Polaris, Eczema, Dermatitis, and sensitive skin.  It is important to note, however, that everyone is different and could react to things differently!
