Meet Caitlin Abshier of Revive Bath & Body ~

The minute Caitlin opened her very first soap-making kit one Christmas morning, she knew it would be more than just a new hobby. After completing the kit and enjoying her first batch of soap, she was hooked! She became a self-taught soaper, researching online, watching how-to videos on YouTube, etc. Not too much later, Revive Bath & Body was born.

Caitlin started out by selling at local markets, and in the fall of 2010, she started her freshman year of college. Starting Revive cemented her plans to graduate with a degree in business management with a specialization in entrepreneurship!

Meet BettaKnit ~

BettaKnit is an imaginary woman who believes in one philosophy above all else: Be Kind. As a small company, BettaKnit embraces BK’s values and a love for beautiful, unique things. This company is in the heart of the historic textile district of Prato in Italy ~ a place known for producing textiles since the 14th century. BettaKnit offers DIY knitting kits with the finest Italian yarns and materials, as well as made-to-order fashionable knitwear.

In their own words, We believe in the power of handmade to connect people, to connect ourselves to our pasts, to our mothers’ pasts… We put our money where our mouth is when it comes to kindness; orders for already knit products are assigned to our resident team of grandmas who are part of a group of volunteers, and they send their earnings to a mission in Tanzania. Pretty cool, right?
