Okay, okay. I admit it. I've got a penchant for gothic stuff. I wear a lot of black clothing, like dark makeup and have dyed my hair black for over a decade now. I love old skool goth bands like The Cure and Siouxsie and whatnot. I am a slave to Aubrey Beardsley's asthetic. I try to see every vampire movie that comes out, even the really horrible direct-to-video junk. Most tellingly, I have a subscription to Gothic Beauty magazine (it came with a pretty necklace gift). I am not ashamed. What can I say? I like what I like and, as Popeye said, "I am what I am".
So one day I was browsing online and came across Velvet Moon Bathery. This site is operated by a artist in Virginia who creates her own scents and produces handmade soaps, lotions and a variety of potions. My husband ordered a set for me and I fell in love. She creates these little handmade boxes (some shaped like little coffins!) and fills them up with scented delights. Each of her 20+ scents has a gothic themed name like Midnight Carnival, Raven Moon, Victorian Vampire, etc. So cute!
When I e-mailed the proprietor to ask a question, I found her to be not only responsive but delightful and friendly. Her name is Nina and she's a fellow Virginian! Working out of Roanoke, VA, she hocks her wares on her site as well as on Etsy and Ebay.
I am impressed by Nina's lovely offerings. It's a great pleasure to support artists and their handmade goods. Velvet Moon Bathery sells quality products with a creative touch, and I couldn't be happier to endorse her. Please visit Velvet Moon Bathery's stores online and see what she's got!
