About Be Greatful...

Remember your favorite candy shop? Now remember how it felt when you walked into that shop, eyes wide open, the beauty of it all, impossible to decide what you wanted to get. The scent of peppermint candies, ice cream sundaes, candy sticks in root beer and cherry flavors, butterscotch, cotton candy
 
    

Through our unique product line, packaging, and presentation, we have designed our shop to evoke all of that same nostalgia that you felt in your favorite candy shop (only without the calories). Whether you are just starting your day or just ending it, make Be Greatful your home for bath and body products that will bring a smile to your face while bringing nourishment to your skin! All of our products are made by hand using little or no preservatives so you know they are fresh and good for your body so draw a hot bath, light some candles, and try our Jolly Rancher soap, Cotton candy bath bombs, or a scoop or two of our ice cream sugar scrub and watch the stress fade away . 

    
 
People always ask me how I got started making bath and body products and really it all started in 2010 when I went into an amazing shop that carried some of the most wonderful bath and body products. I was so inspired by them and literally wanted to buy everything in sight! These products however weren't cheap and I do have kids to feed so I settled on a salt scrub. The most wonderful salt scrub I'd ever used. I remember looking at the ingredients and saying I bet I could make that! And so it began.... I did some research online and educated myself as much as I could and made my first sugar scrub. It was not as good as the salt scrub I had purchased at that amazing bath and body shop but it was something I was proud of for sure, simply because I had tried! Then I tried my hand at some lip balm, and then my first batch of cold processed soap. They didn't all go very well but I kept at it and little by little and with each and every thing I make, it gets easier and easier and the products get better and better. There is just so much satisfaction in setting your mind to something and making it happen, even when it doesn't always turn out how you'd hoped (and I learned quickly that many many times things do not turn out the way that you had hoped).
