MamaHall! Congratulations.
I hope you enjoy your homemade suds!***
Hey Lovelies, I have the sweetest little giveaway just because I think you each are super cool! To enter, simply leave a comment and you're IN!
It's all about HOMEMADE SOAP...soap brings out the true girly girl in us. We can lather up with scented goodness, and erase all the mad rush of the day. It makes us feel soft and smell fresh so we can get adored with little kisses and love every minute of it.
Cuddles are MUCH better after we use soap
to bubble
and sud
and lather
our girly skin.

and sud
and lather
our girly skin.
Sarah Lee Soaps is an etsy shop that my friend started. She creates homemade soaps and uses MUCH tender loving care with every step of the process.

"Handmade soap is made with a chemical, sodium hydroxide. Most people do not know that once the sodium hydroxide is mixed with all of the skin loving oils, the mixture goes through a chemical process called saponification. The saponification process creates glycerine, and sodium hydroxide is no longer present. The glycerine is what makes handmade soap better than commercial products. Commercial manufactures know that glycerine is amazing for your skin, so they remove it from their soaps to make lotions and moisturizers...sneaky. Manufactures of commercial soap products add chemicals to the soap to replace the glycerine feeling on your skin. These chemicals are absorbed into your body through your skin. Avoiding chemical additives also leaves a greener footprint on our earth.
Leaving the glycerine in your soap means less moisturizers needed after shower time, since your skin was left moisturized with the soap not stripped of its oils. Handmade soaps are extremely mild and gentle enough to shave with. You'll get big lather and a more natural skin cleanser."


And...there are many more to choose from! I SO enjoyed looking at the different varieties in her etsy shop. Each one is artistically created too.

and be kinder to our earth too.

The soap types that came to my door were:
1. Relaxing Lavender and Chamomile
2. Cool Water (for men)
3. Sweet Orange with Strawberry Seeds

The Cool Water for men is my favorite!
It smells A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
and makes me want to go snuggle my man!

ReplyDeleteI gave you a Facebook shout out.
ReplyDeleteMy man would love this soap!(me too:) I read what sarah said about how manufactures take out that moisturizing element in soap; my hub complains that it is the soap that i bought that removes all the moisture from his skin. something to replace it for my manly man, who doesn't use lotion, would be great. and I wouldn't mind a little snuggling with my yummy smelling man.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell it through my screen - thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThose soaps look so incredible. I would totally go for the lavender.
ReplyDeleteBlog follower!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great site and ohhhhh how I love homemade soap.
ReplyDeleteLisa, what a neat product! Don't enter me into the giveaway because it would surely melt in our ridiculous weather...but her products look awesome. I will bookmark her site for Christmas shopping!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade soap! It smells and feels wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to leave a comment for this! It's so neat to see what people we grow up with succeed at! If I don't get chosen I may just have to order some anyway. Tell Sarah congrats on her success!
