I created SouthShop.us with one purpose: self-care that keeps you grounded through life’s ups and downs. It’s not just scented products; it’s pretty looking, nicely made, well-crafted, good-for-you tools to remind you to pause, breathe, and celebrate yourself—through highs and lows. And because self-care should never be a cause for concern, I only use clean, honest ingredients you can trust.
This Valentine’s season, love isn’t just about romance—it’s about honoring yourself, your journey, and the beauty of who you are. That’s why I’m proud to introduce “Hugs, Roses, and Other Things You Deserve”, a collection about self-celebration.
This release marks the first of what I hope will be many collaborations, bringing visual artistry into self-care to uplift, inspire, and engage the senses. Liubov Pohorelova, a remarkably versatile illustrator, has an extraordinary ability to capture emotion through intricate detail and expressive storytelling. Her artwork for this collection embodies strength, beauty, and individuality—a perfect reflection of what SouthShop stands for.
Every moment of self-care should be something to cherish. Each purchase includes a miniature hardcopy of her artwork—a reminder that you deserve to be seen, celebrated, and appreciated.
With February also being Black History Month, it feels even more powerful to share this collection, featuring a stunning portrait of a Black woman—a symbol of recognition, diversity, and individuality.
Liubov and I believe in more than self-care—we believe in honoring who you are, exactly as you are. 💛
