Vote for your Limited Edition Springtime Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars
The Samhain Spell Lassëa Shampoo & Conditioner Bars were a smash hit and what a great way to give everyone an extra autumn treat! This time rather than me picking, paid-tier Patrons get to pick the next scent. I've narrowed it down to 5 choices that evoke springtime.
Â
What's a Patron and why are they so important to me?
Historically, art patronage was the gift of support and thus, survival. Royalty and the aristocracy retained artists who created in return for food, lodging, and much-needed supplies. Today, however, support for art doesn’t have to come from some elite group, but from everyday people giving a little bit here and there.  Offering limited edition bars is one of the ways I give back to my Patrons for their ongoing support!
Patrons get access to a whole pile of awesome posts, updates, my unpublished writing, and of course both get to vote in this poll AND will get access to the Patron's Only Storefront (where these bars will be once a winner is decided and I've made them). Â Short rules- Only paid tier Patrons may vote.Â
- Poll closes end of day
Thursday March 13th Central Time
- You may vote for multiple options (if it's a tie we can have a run-off vote)
- You can become a $2 Patron, vote, get your bars, then go back to being an unpaid member and I will not be mad at all (but I would hope you'd continue supporting my creative endeavors!)

LassĂ«a Solid Shampoo Bars are a planet-friendly, hair nourishing way to clean your hair. Full of natural, organic ingredients, these bars are handmade and hand-poured in small batches, then lovingly sent to you in Zero-Waste packaging. Their name comes from the Tolkien Quenya Elvish word lassĂ«a meaning “with leaves, leafy.”  Note: The green mica in these bars is shimmery and beautiful, and you can use them confidently knowing it will not stain your hair, towels, or tub. Mica is natural and inert. Â
And they're good for the planet, too!
On average, water makes up 80% of liquid shampoos and conditioners and the most Americans goes through 11 bottles of shampoo a year, adding up to a LOT of water you're paying for! The production of liquid shampoo and conditioner also uses up a lot of
freshwater resources and makes shipping heavy, which generates more carbon emissions.
 That's a lot of single-use plastic ending up in landfills. In the United States 550,000,000+ plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles are thrown out every year.  The only water Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars needs is what you were going to use in a shower anyway, and it's much lighter and less expensive to ship, too!  Don't want to wait? You can always pick up Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars with Nightblooming's signature scent: Eventide: A night-blooming forest undulating with dusky vanilla and flashes of crisp evening dew. Unisex.
NightBlooming customers are noticing the savings!
So, I originally Got a Lembas bar last October and posted a review that I loved it. I have just gotten to the point of needing to order a new one, which I did last month. I have been recalculating my math from that last review, shocked. Has 1 Lembas bar lasted me 8 months?( mind you, I still am using the old one, but [ it has shrunk down to be ] similar in size
to a sample one). For background, I have fine hair, but a lot of it, and it goes, at most, to my collarbone. I wash my hair once a week. This is crazy. And my hair feels great and healthy. $32 for shampoo that has lasted 8 months ( and not dead yet!). Without counting the cost of water or the conditioner, I spend 4 dollars a month to clean my hair. $4 a month. Melissa knows what she is doing!! Â Â
LassĂ«a lasts longer and costs you far less in the long run than an endless litany of liquid shampoo and conditioners and their plastic bottles. Â

This article is full of tips and tricks that will let you get the most out of your Lassëa: how to use the bars, care for them, and clever ways to use the conditioner bar as a lotion, a leave-in, and
more!
From the silky lather to the rich signature scent, I’m in love with this shampoo bar. It is early in my transition from a soap/shampoo bar, but my hair feels much smoother and softer, and already seems healthier. I won’t lie — the price gave me pause initially, but it only took two washes for me to figure out it was worth it. I haven’t felt the need to use
conditioner while washing my hair with this bar, but I’m so delighted with the change I’ve experienced, I’m already planning another order, this time including a LassĂ«a conditioning bar. Side note: I appreciate NightBlooming’s eco-friendly packaging which also, somehow, manages to be aesthetically pleasing. Definitely a fan now. Â
The kraft clamshell is reusable (it's great for storing the bar in if you take it to the gym or travel), recyclable, and compostable!
I have tried Shampoo bars before, some from mainstream suppliers, some from small Esty shops, some from small businesses, some from big businesses. I’ve even made shampoo bars myself. My shower is littered with the array of products I have made and tried. I have disliked every single one of them. Some made my hair feel gummy, some made it dry in weird ways,
almost like tendrils. And then I used NightBlooming’s. Not even a fair competition. It doesn’t leave a gummy residue, it leaves the hair light and free, and weightless. The other best part is the scent. I’ll walk past the shower and then be like, “Oohh. Whats that smell?” and then I’ll rediscover that it’s the shampoo bar. Is it an investment? Yes. But I have found they last a long time. The little sample sizes last me at least 6 washes, and they are itty bitty. I haven’t had the lembas one long
enough to tell you how long it would last, but I wager it’ll be a long time. If you are willing to spend a little more on yourself (which I assume you are since you are taking the time to research and read reviews), I would go for it. start with the sample size if you aren’t sure. You don’t have to commit to the bigger bars ( but If you’re like me you probably will once you’ve tried it XD)
The overwhelmingly positive response to Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars has been such a delight, and the Limited Edition springtime bars will be a perfect treat for yourself!
