Did Facebook flip a switch?
I can’t help but notice I've gained quite a few new followers lately, so I figured this might be a good time to properly introduce myself.
Hello and welcome to all the new faces around here 🤍
Hi, I’m Donna, the owner and maker behind RCDCessentials. I create handcrafted soaps, body butters, lotions, sugar scrubs, candles, wax melts, and other small batch bath and body products designed to make everyday self-care feel a little more special.
What started as a creative outlet years ago has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined, and I’m incredibly grateful to still be doing this over 10 years later.
You can shop with me online anytime, but if you’re local to Central Florida, you can also find my soaps at Bok Tower Gardens gift shop, Lady B’s Tea Parlour ( Downtown Lake Wales) or you can also find me at farmers markets and local events throughout the year. Honestly, meeting online customers in person has become one of my favorite parts of this journey.
One thing to know about this page is that while I don’t post here nearly as often as I do on Instagram, I’m still very active here and do my best to stay connected. Most of my content is usually shared from Instagram first, but I do see all of your comments and messages and try my best to be as responsive as possible!
Instagram is where I share the most behind-the-scenes content, soap making videos, new product launches, small business life, and updates about my book, The Whipped Body Butter Maker’s Manual, my soap recipe ebook, and other projects. So if you’d like to keep up with everything in real time, definitely come follow along with me there too ✨
And if you’d like to dive even deeper behind the scenes, get tips on running your own business like mine and see my tutorials, come find me on TikTok.
I’m really happy you’re here and I hope you’ll stick around 🤍
