What’s Going On? Rehoboth Beach, Activities, Events, Entertainment…It’s March!! Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware, Sussex County

This historical marker is found at the end of Rehoboth Avenue, right by the Bandstand and the award-winning Boardwalk.  Then, it’s the Atlantic Ocean.  I read it all the time..since 1873, then, the railroad came in 1878. In 1891 Rehoboth Beach was named Cape Henlopen City, then to be formally changed in 1893.  And, the rest it’s history.  Rehoboth Beach is known as the Nation’s Summer Capital.

Little Egg Harbor Soap Company, (L.E.H.), Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Soaps, Butters, Scrubs, Lotions, Balms, Soy Candles…Guys and Dolls…Is your Skin Ready for Spring? Shop Local, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

Pamper your skin; is your body ready for Spring?  I am sure it is all stressed from the cold weather.  But think about this; pretty soon the Uggs will come off and hello to beautiful sandals…guys, I am including you in this post.  Products just for you.

Last Fall I discovered Little Egg Harbor Soap Company, L.E.H.  Their soaps are made in New Jersey.  They are made with oils of coconut, palm, olive, sunflower, castor and shea butter.  They make them in small batches; using all the best natural ingredients.

In Downtown Rehoboth Beach you can find them at 127 C Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971  Tel. 302-260-9813.  Website?  http://www.lehsoap.com.  At present, they are open Thursday through Monday.  That will soon change as the Delaware Beaches get ready for the Season.

I stopped by to get a couple of gifts and to check out what was going on?  Was there anything new?  Cinda Dera is the Store Manager.  She knows everything there is to know about their products and the ones they represent.

I totally fell in love with the Pomango Soap.  Not only did it smell deliciously of pomegranate and mango, but it looked beautiful.

They also have a Pomango all natural body butter that smells so good and it softens your skin immediately.

The soaps made by L.E.H. have enticing names like Citrus Splash, Henlopen Pine, Wild Watermelon, Sex on the Beach, Jersey Girl, and Hot Chocolate among others.

Even though it is still cold, you have to think ahead.  Sandals.  I found a Cooling Foot Natural Food “Creme”.  This will do the job.

L.E.H. carries Soap & Scrub – soap and scrub all in one.  This particular product is not made by them.  I thought they looked perfect for the beach.

The Balm is a product that a bit goes a long way.  It is not greasy, and does not clog pores.  Perfect for soothing dry irritated skin.

Besides their own soaps, L.E.H. has French milled soaps, as well. “The French milling process ensures that each bar is consistent in color, fragrance, and texture.  The soaps last longer, and keep their shape.

French daily essentials for men.  The line from Mistral is everything a man would want for skin care and fragrance.  They have shaving cream, body and hair wash, exfoliating, and face scrub.  Women also buy some of these products.

Award-winning products from Billy Jealousy.  This company was founded in 2004 and has already won major magazine awards from Men’s Health & Esquire.  It is distributed to many countries worldwide and it is also used by many well-known celebrities.  Products for shaving, for the face, body, and hair.  They are made in Dallas, Texas.

The soy candles are fantastic…hooked on the guava one.  The tower of miniature soy candles; these are perfect for the bathroom.

Note:  Thanks L.E.H. Soap Company for your donation to Chicks for Charity Southern Delaware.  The lady that won was at my table.
