Bath and Body Bliss from Beautiful BC

We’re excited to announce a new addition, just in time for holiday gift-giving – welcome Barefoot Venus to the Diane Kennedy collection!

Who doesn’t love luxurious skin care? Whether you use deliciously scented hand soap or indulgent bath oil, these products can add a wonderful pick-me-up to your day. When you have someone on your list who hard to buy for, a lovely gift set with lotions and creams is a thoughtful reminder to take time for self-care.

So how did we choose Barefoot Venus skin care? First of all, their products are all made in Kelowna by three beautiful sisters. As a Canadian company, we want to support our fellow Canucks whenever possible. Also, Diane Kennedy is a small business founded by an entrepreneurial woman, so partnering with another female-run company just made sense.

The final deciding factor was the products themselves. We pride ourselves on our ecological, ethical fashions, and Barefoot Venus’ philosophy is an ideal match. Their skin care line celebrates natural ingredients and scents, with no paraben, propylene glycol, or synthetic colours. We know our customers care about the fabrics that touch their skin – they want softness, breathability, and sustainability. We suspect you’re equally discerning about the soaps and lotions you use, and we knew that Barefoot Venus would meet your high standards.


When you’re in our studio, be sure to sniff and appreciate these Canadian-made delights. We are also offering selected gift sets on our website. If you would like us to send something directly to someone special, let us know so that we can package it with extra care.

I hope you’re making good progress on your shopping list, and are taking good care of yourself during this hectic season!
