After hearing about Nashville, TN based, Thistle Farms for several years, I stopped in Whole Body over the weekend and discovered their natural based beauty products for myself. Not only are the products wonderfully lush, fragrant and made from natural resources, the story (and people) behind the products is the true treasure of each purchase. "Thistle Farms is a non-profit business run by women who have survived lives of violence, prostitution, and abuse. Into every Thistle Farms product goes the belief that freedom starts with healing, and love can change lives." ( As stated on each package label)
My two favorite products- The body balm is made from beeswax and oils and works wonders for my sensitive skin. The scented candles are soft and subtle. Every flavor is dreamy but my faves were Lavender Healing and Rose Grapefruit.

Thistle Farms was recently featured in the January/February issue of Victoria Magazine.
