A Sanibel-Captiva event you've been waiting for!

The Why Knot shop in The Village Shops 2340 Periwinkle Way is getting ready for a great fall by having a huge summer sale. Why Knot is a Sanibel shopping desination and a "must" stop for many. When I stopped in today and found out they are marking their entire store 50% off I couldn't believe it!

When I asked why, I was told they are having a huge new shipment of fabulous fall clothes arriving October 1st and they want to make sure they have room for it! They have merchandise that will appeal to women of all ages and shapes. This is a true find in today's economy; great quality & pricing.

The sale runs through September 8th and includes designer names and private label clothes. If you haven't visited Why Knot, this is the perfect time to stop in and discover their fantastic clothing.

Chocolate Soap from Italy on Sanibel-Captiva

If your budget doesn't cover a trip to Italy this year, you can find a delectable indulgence right here on Sanibel. Escentials in Tahitian Gardens on Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, Florida carries some truly luxurious Nesti Danti Soaps that are made in Italy. There are three groups of this luxurious shea butter soap to choose from: chocolate, tropical fruit, and sensuous. All are very reasonably priced and attractively packaged. These soaps will spark lots of conversation in your guest bath or be a perfect hostess gift.

What caught my eye was the Orange Chocolate "bar". This large sized soap is made like a candy bar so it easily and neatly snaps into two good size soaps. Other varieties include Mint Chocolate, Mocha Cocoa Beans and Cocoa Beans. While they have a chocolate aroma, you don't smell like chocolate after you use the product, you just experience the luxury of a shea butter soap and all the softness you would expect. Cost is $10.95 per double bar.

If tropical fruits are more to your liking, there are adorable little Nesti Danti soap squares in a wide variety of "flavors". These are perfect little squares of shea butter indulgence in delicious tropical scents. These tropical gems run $8.95 each.

And if you are looking for a soap that will release your animal magnetism, you must
try the Animal Print bars. Again Nesti Danti wraps these very large shea butter soaps in attractive animal print wrappers. What's your mood? Choose from Alluring, Exuberant, or Sensual fragrances. These exquisite bars run $12.95.

Regardless of your "taste" you will find something that is sure to please. Find these and other luxury soaps and lotions at Escentials on Sanibel in the Tahitian Gardens shopping center.
