Moms R The Best gives kudos to SweetWaxations™

Today's small business being recognized in our special "Kudos" segment is a company called SweetWaxations™.  Kimberly Anne, the Founder of SweetWaxations™ Products, launched the business as a result of her love of candles and her childhood nickname "Sweet"; thus was born the company SweetWaxations™.  Kimberly started dreaming long before she began actually making candles. She has always wanted to cultivate her creative side so she tapped into her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit in September 2009.  SweetWaxations™ carries candles, mist scents, all natural skin and hair care products.

I recently ordered candles from SweetWaxations™ and I was thrilled with the quality of the product and how quickly the scents filled the air in each room I placed them in. Visit SweetWaxations™ on the web at www.sweetwaxations.com

Moms R The Best gives kudos to The DC Fragrance Center

Moms R The Best is giving special recognition to The DC Fragrance Center, a fragrance oil and bath product business specializing in custom designed scents for both men and women. Customers rave about the scented scented Bath & Shower Wash and Sugar Baby Exfoliating Body Sugar. My personal favorite is the Whipped Body Cream in the Lavendar Scent. And I simply cannot say enough positive things about the company's owner, Deloris Snoddy!

The DC Fragrance Center is a family-owned business based in Washington, D.C., however the company was not named for it's location. In 2002, a mother and daughter team, Deloris Snoddy and Ciera Snoddy, began what is now one of the Washington Metropolitan's best kept secrets. Since being native Washingtonians and having the DC initials, Deloris and Ciera decided that the name would give a nice personal flair to their internet-based body care business.
The DC Fragrance 

Center has designed gift baskets and spa packages for local radio personalities, executive and government offices, Washington area social clubs, and  college sororities and fraternities. Each bath and body care item is carefully prepared and scented by hand when the order is placed. Nothing is mass produced.

The Spa Inspirations skin care line consists of products that are comprised of all natural ingredients. Herbs, butters, plant extracts, essential oils, and several other raw materials are used to make facial scrubs, bath milk, sugar or salt exfoliants, facial cleansers, moisturizing foot cream, and much more. Fragrance oils can be added to bath milk and body sugars to add a preferred scent to your bathing or shower routine, but they are never added to facial care products.

The facial care products are also prepared by hand upon order placement, so they are always fresh. And they contain natural extracts and essential oils only. No fragrance oils!

Be sure to visit The DC Fragrance Center on the web and on Facebook.

Moms R The Best is giving special recognition to another great small business, Even the SCORE, LLC. This company is an innovative and electrifying venture that is taking the world by storm. Even the SCORE transcends traditional sports culture, while revolutionizing women's sports experience. With assistance from Even the SCORE women everywhere can impress their colleagues, family, friends, and significant others with their knowledge of sports.

Even the SCORE was founded by a young, professional woman in the DC Metropolitan area, Ms. Kimberly Hollingsworth.  Ms. Hollingsworth is an avid sports fan, and in an effort to educate her friends, began coordinating small, sports-training parties that focused on a specific sport. In 2007, she decided that other women could benefit from this extraordinary, training method, and that was the foundation for Even The SCORE.

Even the SCORE sets out to bridge the gap between two worlds (that of sports and women). The goal is achieved by creating a social, relaxing atmosphere at various sports establishments, members’ homes, etc. (anywhere where sports are being watched).
