====================================================

Ok moms (I should really say dads), I have the perfect Mother's Day present for all the moms out there!Which mom can not use some pampering once in a while? I sure do!!!

Wait no longer, Biggs & Featherbelle have the right products for that.

I love the story behind the company of 2 amazing sisters!
Sisters Kelly and Kasey Evick created Biggs & Featherbelle in January 2003. A magazine article inspired the pair to make 'melt and pour' glycerin soaps as Christmas presents. With backgrounds in the Fine Arts and Fashion, the two had fun creating unique recipes, packaging and clever names for each item. The gifts were a big hit.
Their family had always been proponents of alternative healing practices and consumers of natural beauty products. So, it seemed fitting to continue exploring the benefits of botanicals. The innocent investigation soon turned to obsession. The sisters quit their day jobs and

devoted every hour to research and invention, striving to create the products they couldn't find on the shelves. Fueled by encouragement from friends and family, the word spread to local festivals, then regional fairs and eventually in stores throughout the U.S.

So who are Biggs & Featherbelle you ask?

Biggs & Featherbelle are somewhat fictional. Biggs (formerly Bubba) is a character inspired from our kitty cat named Diesel. Featherbelle is a fusion of Kelly & Kasey. Biggs & Featherbelle represent a broad spectrum of people from manly tough to girly sweet. The characters were developed and illustrated by our friend Brian Dugan (who prefers to stay behind the scenes).

I was send the sweet coffee scrub and the beauty soak to try out and my favorite definitely is the beauty soak. As soon as I opened the box, the scent of a complete spa experience hit me! And that was even before I used it in my bath. It reminded me of a real Spa experience I had in The Netherlands some years ago. The scent is amazing, it's relaxing and the soak makes your skin soft and smooth.

I love coffee, love the smell of it, probably drink it too much so I was very happy to review the sweet coffee scrub.

I love the scent and when using it, it does scrub the dead skin of your body, leaving it all smooth. It mentions on the container to use it under the shower, but I was in the bath and couldn't wait to use in in the shower so I tried it there. This is definitely one you should use in the shower, so the coarse salt and coffee scrub goes down the drain while you're showering.

I will definitely get myself some more of the beauty soak, it's wonderful and really does give you the feeling you've been to a real spa, but then for a whole lot less $$$.

Biggs & Featherbelle have a lot more products in their store than the 2 mentioned above. There's something for everybody.

There's soaps, lip balm, body butter bars, belly balm, gift sets and tees.
