Item: Body Moisturizer Gift Set
Seller: mariedean
Meet Adriene Marie, the seller behind MarieDean – a bath and beauty shop on Etsy.com!
I met Adriene via my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission form. I was really excited to see Adriene sells multi-product packs, which is such a great way to see if you like her handmade beauty products!
My favorite was this body moisturizer gift set for women (pictured above), which includes 4 oz each of her skin cream, moisturizer, body butter, and body cream!
“I have been creating scrumptious hair and body products for over 6 years now,” she told me. “Back then, I wanted to make natural hair butters and conditioners for myself. So, I purchased a natural hair and skin recipe book and embarked on a new venture of blending wholesome ingredients to make luscious hair care products. I ended up developing many delicious hair creations that made my hair super healthy. I later put my creative talents to work crafting bath and body products. I gifted to friends and family any extras I had from my handmade batches of hair and body concoctions. My network of friends and family especially loved how the hair butters and conditioners promoted hair growth, nourished and conditioned their hair. They also loved the way the body moisturizers softened their skin. Their encouraging feedback and support inspired me to launch Hair & Body Care.”
“I love what I do. I believe in my products and take pride in creating them,” Adriene Marie said. “I use lush ingredients such as organic botanical extracts, exotic butters and highly moisturizing fruit and vegetable oils that are beneficial to your hair and skin.”
“I do not use hair and skin formulation bases and add actives. All of my products are formulated by me and freshly made by hand every day. I make natural hair and body products for all hair and skin types. So, whether you have kinky, curly, wavy, straight or chemically-treated hair, I have a hair product for you. If you have dry, oily or sensitive skin, I have a body moisturizer that will make your skin soft and supple,” she said.
“When I’m not crafting, I am writing poetry and novels. I love to write and have been writing since I was a teenager,” Adriene Marie told me.
Adriene’s advice to sellers is great:
“Be patient and do not get frustrated with lack of sales…they may trickle in at first, network with other shop owners, read the forums and sign up for Etsy’s weekly e-mail newsletters — they offer valuable information to help your shop thrive,” she said.
So what’s coming up next for MarieDean on Etsy.com?
“I’m creating more yummy hair and body products — delicious whipped sugar scrubs and lovely styling creams. I plan on including Gluten-Free hair and body products in my shop,” she said.

Item: Valentine’s Day Onesie
Seller: squarepaisleydesign
One of my most popular features on Etsy Item of the Day is this Dachshund print. Dachshunds always remind me of a boss I had awhile back, and there seem to be many people who connect with this breed of dog!
I came across this darling baby onesie that appeals to the dog lovers and the Valentine’s Day gift buyers alike. Isn’t it so cute??
This Etsy seller (squarepaisleydesign) can make this onesie in with a long or short sleeve version, and is selling it for a cool $13.00. Great price for a cute and unique gift!
