I’m still in celebration mode FOR MY 13 BLOGGYWONDERFUL YEARS and have contacted a Baker’s Dozen (13!) of my favorite businesses to sponsor giveaways here on MBFCF through the month of October.
I’m always delighted to find a new Cuban entrepreneur who is showing off our beautiful culture in their own inimitable way.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the rich and nostalgic Cassava Bath and Body Collections.
From their site:
“Our products are inspired by Cuba’s rich culture, lush paradise, and tropical fruits. We use ingredients such as natural butters and oils, fresh brewed coffee, fruit purees, cassava, and fresh milks in our handcrafted product to leave your skin feeling nourished and refreshed. Bathe in tropical delight!”
Doesn’t that sound exactly like something we must do? I agree.
This is me yelling: “Nourish my skin with some fabulous Cuban scents, please!”
I’m so excited to have found them and I love her story, which is so reminiscent of all of ours. Mariaenela has found a way to honor her Cuban heritage and bring it to life via the essences of our Cubanity. (<–it is a word. It’s my word.)
My new friends at Cassava Handcrafted Bath and Body have agreed to sponsor a giveaway this week for a beautiful handcrafted Violeta Combo Package which includes Violeta Handmade Soap and Violeta Perfume Oil. *insert happy salsa dance here*
Because Violetas is the scent of all our Cuban childhoods. *sigh* Am I right?
This giveaway will be happening over on Instagram.
Here’s how to enter the giveaway for a chance to win this fabulous Violeta Combo package:
- Bounce on over to Instagram and follow @mybigfatcubanfamily and @cassava_bath_and_body.
- On that post (in Instagram) Tag a friend who loves the fantastic scent of Violetas, aka: the tears of baby Cuban angels. (You know I’m right.)
If you’re not on Instagram, go check out the Cassava Bath and Body site and come back and tell me what scents sound the best to you and leave a comment right here ON THIS POST.
One (1) lucky winner will be randomly selected on Friday, October 11, 2019 and will receive the Violeta Combo. Valid only in the USA.

Congratulations to the winner!
Millie Linares – I have forwarded your shipping info to Cassava Handcrafted Bath and Body so they can ship out your Violeta Combo right away! Thanks so much for participating!
I love the Cassava website. Beautiful pics! I would love to try Havana Nights to see if it reminds me of my nights in Havana 🙂
Cassava Bath & Body looks divine. Coconut Lime and Sparkling Sangria speak to me. I imagine the smell to be quite indulgent.
The inventive and creative line of handmade Cuban coffee soap is very unique and inviting-Expresso Menthol, Coffee Mint & Orange Coffee…but, I really wonder what South Beach scent is like!
I close my eyes and visualize my mom saying violetas para mi nieta y para su abuela. She is no longer alive but she made sure that the culture was engraved with much love in our hearts and minds. God blessings to all.
Hola Martha!

I would love the violetas.
I checked out Cassava’s website. They have quite an assortment of scents. I think I’d like the coconut lime but I’m sure they’re all amazing. Thanks for entering me in the giveaway.
Adorable site. I would love anything lavender especially the cucumber lavender body butter.
I love surprises, so the MYSTERY box would be awesome, VIVA CUBA LIBRE
