General Store: Celebrating

Celebrating the End of Summer with Small, Good Things: The Body Bean’s Natural & Nourishing Treats, Made Right Here!

The world feels a bit unbalanced right now (it’s not just us feeling that, right?), and we find ourselves looking for inspiration, for peace, for kindness. We’re taking more walks, trying to send that note in the mail, or calling to say we received excellent service from someone who has gone the extra mile. (Shout out to Reed’s Heating & Air and Aloha Pest for always being the definition of responsive and terrific to work with!) We’re also eating more Negranti ice cream, staying up later to finish a movie with the kids while they’re on summer break, and turning off that newsfeed. We’re trying to focus on those small, good things that bring us together.

When Mickey Sickelton, cofounder (with husband Chris) of The Body Bean, enters General Store Paso Robles, she bears not only bags and bags brimming with delicious botanical scents but also an energy of kindness, professionalism, and care. We’ve carried her soaps, lotions, and bath soaks for a few years now, and her goods have joined Life Elements, FableRune, and our own Blithe, Lavender, and Gratitude lines as the anchors of our local bath and body offerings. We can’t help but think it’s not only the quality of her goods that makes them so popular (free of synthetics and preservatives, they are nourishing and gentle), but also Mickey’s unassuming warmth makes people want to support this Paso-based company.

Here are our customer’s favorites:

Goat’s Milk Loofah Soap:

You get a loofah scrubber and a bar of soap all in one! The loofah gets rid of dead skin cells, while the soap leaves your skin clean and lightly smelling of honey and oatmeal.

Pixie Dust: In 3 scents, the Pixie Dust is basically a deconstructed bath bomb. Use a little or a lot for a fizzy bath that relaxes and rejuvenates.

Sugar Scrub:

In either Coffee or Lavender, the scrub naturally exfoliates and smooths skin.

Whether it’s for you or someone whose day needs brightening, one of The Body Bean’s treats will do the job. Thank you, Mickey and Chris, for being right here in our own backyard! Grateful for you and for our customers who allow us to support dozens of small makers in the store. 
