Featured Creative Mama: Mary of NaturalGoodies

Mary Torres of NaturalGoodies started making bath and body products almost 4 years ago. It started with her wanting to do something different, in bath and body products, but she wanted the products to be natural, while still affordable. Very soon after her business was born. Initally she. She then said to her husband had a hard time comming up with a name for her business. "there has to be a good name for a store that sells natural goodies, and then it hit me Natural Goodies!!"

She is a mother of 4 and a wife to an overworked hubby. They also run a computer sales and repair company. As she puts it "hubby does the hard work, I just answer the phone and do the paperwork, lol." My friends and family are my guinny pigs, but guinny pigs have fun. She just took testers for her new shaving cream and she has a couple new products in the works but they'll be kept secret until she is ready for testers.

She carries a full line of bath products for mom and baby. The products include handmade bar soap and bath gel, as well as bubble bath, bath melts, and bath fizzies. For body products, she carries a great smelling and moisturizing body mist, foot scrub, and hand and body lotion. She also carries a yogurt based lotion. Her lip balm is tasty as well as soothing and moisturizing. For that extra dry skin or excema, she has shea butter, as well as a shea butter cream. Her lanolin whip with almond oil is great for nursing moms.


For babies, she carries tear free shampoo, stink sprinkles for the diaper pail, and lanolin in a spary, liquid or balm for your woolies.

For your home, she has a wonderful room spray, reed diffusers, wax tarts to freshen your house. She also sells wool dryer balls, a natural alternative to the PVC dryer balls while fluffing your laundry and making it smell lovely and cutting drying time.

Many of these items can be found at her store NaturalGoodies at Creative Mamas Congo. Check her store out or e-mail her for custom orders.
