I was cleaning in my bathroom and decided to share a product we use that I really like, but for all you bloggers with a house full of men - the guys around here like this stuff too. Did you ever hear of anything so crazy as making soap by peddling a bicycle? That's just how this soap business does it and if you go to their web site you can read all about the process. They're called Just Soap from Massachusetts and they make the best smelling all natural organic soaps. (Have my blogger friends on the East coast heard of them?) Best smelling that is if your better half doesn't want to smell like girly stuff. Just Soap has scents like Cinnamon Clove, Sage Fir, and my favorite the Almond. They have oatmeal soap, balms, etc., all natural. Shampoo bars.... and everything I have tried seems to last a long time. I'm funny about stuff on my skin, I don't like the feel of lotions so they have to *feel* a certain way, and the same about other stuff like soap.
I order usually at Christmas - keep some and tuck some in gift baskets. One year I tucked the lip balm's into everyone's stockings. On their web page they also have "seconds" you can buy for a lower price. The most popular scents at my house are the Cinnamon, the Sage and the Almond, but we have tried them all. I put a new bar out when we have overnight guests and they always comment on it or ask where I got it. Sometimes they say they like the color, for some it's the scent, and for me I like the organic feel of the bar itself. They aren't smooth as a baby's bottom, but they lather nice. These are the only soaps I've used in my shower for at least 3 years. Now when we have a hotel stay I think hotel soaps smell funny.
OH, and the price? They are only about $2.95 a bar, less if you buy more or get seconds. $2.95 for a cool soap, that smells good and lasts a long time... I think that's a real fair price.
My palms were not greased with any money for this post. It's my opinion and no one could pay me to say something I didn't agree with. Well, maybe for a million dollars I would say I loved liver. Beef council - call me.
