Duross & Langel

I have a favorite company. It would be my best kept beauty secret if I could shut the fuck up about them, but I can’t. If you have ever spoken to me or read anything I write sooner or later you will find out that I love Duross & Langel. You have also probably never heard of them if you don’t live in or near the Philadelphia area. That’s alright. That is what I am here for.

There are many things I could say about Duross & Langel as a company and about their products. What I really want to talk about is how good it feels to purchase items from a place like this. There is nothing like walking into a store and being greeted by the owner. There is nothing like picking up a container of lotion and knowing it was made recently on the premises. That is really freaking cool.

I think it’s important to shop local. I’ll talk frequently about Duross & Langel here on this site and if you want to try something out and order from them online, awesome. The owners are wonderful people and I love their products. More so though I think it is great to look around the place you live now and who is making awesome homemade products around you. You might be surprised. If you don’t live in a big city? Give some of the small business on Etsy a try. I have seen many intriguing looking body products there. Perhaps I’ll get a few at some point just so I can do a review of various shops. Something to think about for the future.

That is my mission for you. Shop homemade, handmade and local as much as possible. Because big corporations suck ass. Plus there is so much we have to go there for inevitably we might away feel a little special with the products we don’t have to. Right?
