My tub of soap is almost empty. I've been loving it more than I have loved any soap I've ever used before. I will be so sad when it's all gone (though I have a stack of other Christmas present soaps waiting patiently for their turn; I just may have found my OTS forever and ever).

Best Eastern Shore discovery ever!
I just placed an order for a shampoo bar with this company. I hope it'll work as well as they say it does! I've never used shampoo bars before, but I read that you can use them as soap bars, too, so it'll be better for cleaning up after swimming than bringing a bunch of stuff into the shower room.
What if I told you it cost $32?
Then I'd tell you it was all in the ingredients and NOT the packaging! ;P
Back from scary tax appointment! And it was not as scary as I thought! I am looking up medical stuff for possible more deductions, but even if they don't work, I have enough money to cover the IRS-age right now!
YAY!
And I am fluctuating between Amber Romanace (which my sister gave me because of her allergies, and I like more than I thought I would, and Philosophy's Pink Lemonade or B&BW's Lemon Verbena, which I think is discontinued -- grrr.)
All gels -- I don't love the bar. Of soap. Er.
I had a thought when I started reading this thread, but now that I've gotten to the posting box, it's gone.
I have totally failed at giving up chocolate for lent.
I am on day three of a headache. I don't know what I did to my brain, but I am sorry and I take it back.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Allyson!
certain people won't use perfectly good soap that they were given as a gift just because it's too pretty.
This drives me crazy. I used to get adorable little soaps for my MiL's Christmas stocking until DW and I discovered ALL of them (several years worth) safely tucked away in a drawer. We stole some of them - shhh, don't tell! - and I stopped buying them. Then we stopped doing stockings altogether, which was actually a good thing.
The soap I gave java and JZ is from here: [link]
It's called dairy whip and is made with goat's milk and cocoa butter. It comes in a couple dozen scents, often using botanicals from the owner's herb garden and honey from her bees. She may also keep goats for the milk, I can't remember. It is close in texture to Crisco. I use it as shaving cream and it is AWESOME.
Sadly, it does not ship well, due to (as java noted) shoddy packaging.
ETA: It is nowhere close to $32.
Glam, I just have piles and piles of beautiful soaps people have given me throughout the years. I put them out for guests and even the guests don't think they should use them! And this one bar of soap I've got (that megan keeps teasing me about) was purchased at Needless Markup and it's beautifully packaged. It ougghta be: I saw it at Gumps and it was $32! For a bar of soap!!

I didn't call it shoddy! I like it 'cause it's no frills, like me!
