The Business and The Motivation

I started Dustbunny's back in 2014. I was in an epic battle between my skin and soap. It didn't seem to matter which brand of soap, or consistency (liquid or bar), I had an irritation problem. My skin would get dry, tight, itchy or it would burn. I got tired of it. I set out to learn how to make soap and change my uncomfortable issue. It dawned on me that if I had this problem, other people must be suffering with it too, so I decided to make a business out of it with the goal of creating soap that left your skin feeling clean and comfortable. This soon carried over into the other products I created. The goal stayed the same, but expanded to also include giving people a sense of joy. I want people to feel happy when they use my products and I want them to have peace of mind that what they're using is safe and ethical. 

Dustbunny's was named for my first rescue rabbit. She came into my life at a time when I needed a purpose. Anyone who has ever rescued an animal knows that sometimes the animal actually rescues you. Since Dusty I've sort of become a crazy rabbit lady, though I've never had more than two at a time. Rabbits are delicate animals with strong personalities and they can bring so much joy into the life of their person. 

The Maker

My name is Sam (Samantha) and I'd like to start by saying Thank You for choosing to read about my small, handmade business. 

I'm a Okuden (level 2) Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki practitioner working towards becoming a Reiki master. I'm also an Intuitive Empath and Tarot reader. 

I'm a creative busy body! A few of my favorite things to do include: DBB stuff (obviously), making jewelry, photography, oil painting and stained glass. I can also crochet, resin, and draw (though I'm a bit out of practice).
