Meet Ethereal - a Soap with a Cause

Let me introduce you to Ethereal - it's a soap with a cause!  We donate 100% of the profits from Ethereal to Reece's Rainbow, a charity designed to help orphans with special needs find homes. Older child adoption is near and dear to us as our oldest two children came into our family through adoption when they were 6 and 8 years old!  They are now both successful young adults.  Read more about our support here and see one of my blog posts about Reece's Rainbow here.
