Live Laugh Love Soap

I love hand made soap. I am totally and completely hooked on hand made soap and won't use commercially made soap at all anymore. I am on a tight budget. In fact my budget is so tight you can usually hear it screaming from a mile away. I will save up for hand made soap and do without the cube of Coke to be able to use handmade soap every day. I also recently tried toothpaste soap. Sounds gross right? Brings back memories of swearing and the whole "i'm gonna wash your mouth out with soap thing" when you were a kid I'll bet. Lol at least it did for me! Well I bit the bullet (or the soap as the case may be) and tried some. WOW! What a difference in the way my mouth felt! And my breath is so much better! Does it taste nice and minty? Not really. Maybe just a hint. But I can tell you my mouth felt clean all day, things tasted better, and my teeth started to get whiter. Plus the stuff outlasts about 3 tubes of toothpaste and doesn't drip all over the sink in nasty, sticky green streaks. You should at least give it a try. Go check out this website, she has beautiful hand made soap AND toothpaste soap. LiveLaughLoveSoap.com Really good stuff! Don't even get me started on the handmade sugar scrubs! All pictures are clickable and will take you directly to her shop!

Yay I Won!

Okay as some of you may know I am a total hand made soap addict. The difference in my skin since I switched to hand made is incredible and the range of colors and smells is mind boggling. So anyway, Soapsmith over on Artfire is doing a a give away once a week for six weeks of this awesome sampler pack. Actually its down to four weeks now but anyway, lots of goodies in this and she is even shipping it for free. At the moment its only open to for US shipping, no international. So I have been watching like a hawk for this to come around again in the forums so I would have a chance to win. And I did! LOL I am so excited!

You should check her shop out anyway, she has some really uniques soaps, many of them mimic gemstones and rocks which is really cool!

CONTEST! WIN Hand Made Soap

Featuring Hand Made Soap by Soap Deli (also known as Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen)

Soooo have I mentioned my addiction to hand made soap? If not, let me just tell you that I no longer buy commercially made soap if at all possible and will save up my pennies to make sure that I don't run out. I have super dry skin all winter long and I am here to tell you that hand made has cut my need for lotion in half. I can even skip a day (of lotion) and still not look like an alligator in 24 hours or less, and the smell oohh the smell of hand made soap is to die for. Seriously! So... to help spread the word on hand made soap I am having a contest give away.

SoapDeli has been kind enough to offer THREE bars of soap (1 of each) in these luscious flavors to one lucky winner. Too bad I can't enter my own contest lol!

SOUTHERN SWEET TEA SOAP
This soap is reminiscent of tea with lemon that is sweetened with a touch of honey. The scent is a blend of tea leaves, honey nectar, wild flowers, and lemongrass. The bar is naturally colored a light yellow from the addition of real lemongrass essential oil. Real tea leaves are dotted throughout the bar for visual interest and exfoliation. This soap rinses cleanly away and is all natural except for the fragrance. Vegan. Each bar weighs 4oz. - 4.5oz.

Yum!

LAVENDER AND BASIL SOAP
My Lavender and Basil Shea Butter soap has a clean, fresh scent that combines the summery aromas of lavender and basil. This soap is strongly scented so you are left with a light fragrance on your skin afterward. The soap rinses cleanly away and is all natural except for the fragrance. Each bar weighs 4oz. - 4.5oz.
I really want to try this one!

YUZU GOAT MILK SOAP
This yellow and orange colored soap is a cleanly scented blend of refreshing spring flowers highlighted by touches of Japanese Yuzu, tangy mandarin and sweet orange. Goat milk and shea butter make it feel especially nice on your skin. It is strongly scented so you are left with a light fragrance on your skin afterward. The soap rinses cleanly away and is all natural except for the fragrance. Each bar weighs 4oz. - 4.5oz.
