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.

Some Christmas I am into scarves and gloves, others, I might be into jewelry….this year? Soaps, butters, scrubs, lotions, balms, shampoo. I don’t remember who asked me if I had gone to a soap store in Rehoboth Beach. They were raving about it. To tell you the truth I had not. But, a few weeks ago I found it!! And now, I am indulging and introducing Little Egg Harbor to my friends.
Little Egg Harbor Soap Company is located at 127 C Rehoboth Avenue in the Rehoboth Mews. Tel. 302-260-9813. Website? http://www.lehsoap.com. The company is from New Jersey. Three locations: Marmora, NJ, where the headquarter is located and where soaps and other products are made. Another location in Smithville, NJ, and the location in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The Store Manager in Rehoboth Beach is Cinda Dera. She is great. Knows every particular of each product. She is also very friendly.
The day I visited, I did so with my friend Cindi. She and I totally fell in love with the store and the products. The soaps are made with oils of coconut, palm, olive, sunflower, castor and Shea butter. They make them in small batches. There are no detergents, animal fat, alcohol, preservatives, hardeners or mineral oils. You will get a totally vegan bar of soap.
The lotions, butters and scrubs do not have added colors.
All bars of soaps are sold by the ounce. Bars will be weighed at the register.
As you enter the store, the aroma is light and clean. The names on their soaps are: Blueberry Cobbler, Vanilla, Scarlet, Apple Martini, Beach Days, Weekend in Rehoboth….and more.
They have products Just for Men.
They also represent French soaps.
A line of products called Cucina from Italy. For your kitchen; biodegradable soaps and cleaning products. The formulas contain no phosphates, ammonia, or chlorine. The fragrances are unique.
I can attest to their shampoo. I have been using the moisturizing shampoo and love it. Leaves your hair shinny, manageable, and clean. I sound like a commercial, but it is true.
A line of soy candles called Beanpod. Vibrant colors and distinct fragrances. I opened the one that said Guava. Guava is a tropical fruit. It used to be one of those, that when I was growing up in Puerto Rico, you would pick off the trees. Almost extinct now….the smell of this candle brought me back to those years long ago. It was exactly the same smell. You could almost eat it. No kidding!
Coconut Oil – a moisturizer in coconut husk. You can use it practically for everything. Check http://www.lehsoap.com/coconut-oil-tips-and-benefits.
A well known product line from Oregon…Pacifica.
Soap Curls? Shaved and placed in bags…just a tiny bit to wash your hands. Bath Fizzie…fun for your bath!!
Note: If you have problems with psoriasis, eczema, patchy ski, ask them a bout their Calendula infused Bobbiesue Therapy Soap.
Stress free shopping? Shop the many small boutiques in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, where personal attention is their middle name….have fun!

I got an e-mail from Noreen who loves The Bellmoor Spa. She is also a reader of this blog. She thought a visit to the Spa would make a good post. To tell you the truth, I have been meaning to take advantage of this Spa which is located right in the center of Rehoboth Beach. Now that it is getting warmer, I am almost ready to put my winter clogs away and take out the flip flops and sandals.
So, on Wednesday I went. Let me tell you a bit about The Bellmoor Spa. First of all, it is located in the elegant, The Bellmoor Inn, 6 Christian St., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Website? www.thebellmoor.com. The Bellmoor Inn has world class accommodations. Here are a few pictures of the Inn.
The Spa is located on the second floor of the Inn. Open to the public; you do not have to be a guest of the Inn in order to take advantage of their many services.
I was reading what Dr. Susan Biali has said about the reasons you should still go to a Spa, even in tough times. She is an internationally recognized wellness expert, life coach, speaker and writer. To know more about her, visit www.susanbiali.com.
She said that people think that going to a Spa is an “extra, inessential splurge”. But, think again, taking care of ourselves (men also) is essential for our mental and physical health, more so in tough times. A visit to a Spa reduces stress; it gives a boost to your mood.
The moment I walked into The Bellmoor Spa I felt right in my element. I found that this Spa is small and intimate. The Director of the Spa is Tina Allen and the telephones are: 800-425-2355 and 302-227-5800. E-mail is spa@thebellmoor.com.
The Bellmoor Spa is a day spa and offers a variety of packages; from rejuvenating facials to full body massages, scrubs and couples’ treatments. There are also Men Only Packages between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Just remember that it is limited to the first 4 men that arrive per night. You know how men are. They certainly don’t want to sit there with all of us. They need their special time, as well.
For more info., please visit www.thebellmoor.com.
Erin Dickerson was going to take care of my pedicure. She also can do skin care and massage.
The nail room was waiting for me with nice, warm and foaming soaking water. Great. I chose more of an orange color for my nails.
Erin and I talked and got to know one another. She really was very professional and I really had forgotten how nice getting a pedicure felt. It really was a treat.
I cannot believe I am putting the picture of my feet “after” the pedicure. But, here it is.
Erin gave me a tour of the other rooms, as well. Depending on your service, you will be directed to a specific room.
There is another room for couples or friends that want to experience a spa treatment together.
The Bellmoor Spa has gift certificates available. They also have a Weekday Massage Special that is running until Memorial Day Week-End. You can enjoy a 50 minute Swedish Massage for $55 (usually $95) Sundays through Thursdays. Please ask for Tina to take advantage of this limited time offer. Just remember that it does not include gratuities. It is limited to one service per person, daily, and not valid in conjunction with other promotions.
I think you will enjoy it. And, there is plenty of parking available.
Let me know what you think…….talk to you later….
