Spring Has Sprung

 

It's time for the spring giveaway!

I'm starting with the unscented bars first. On the right is Charcoal and Clay made with only natural colors from several kinds of clay and some activated charcoal. On the left is Milk and Honey made with real honey and four kinds of milk. Goat, yogurt, coconut and buttermilk. All the bars are rough cuts, meaning I don't clean them up or smooth them out. I like the rough texture. There is nothing like a brand new bar of soap. 



On the right is Blackberry Bliss and on the left is Lemon. They are both mildly fruity and smell just like you would think. I could eat them both.




On the right is a new one. Sea Salt and Yuzu. I don't know how to describe the scent but I like it. It's slightly fruity. On the left is more Harlequin Romance. If you didn't get it last time and asked for it, this is your chance. It's a lovely, light floral scent. If Barbie wore perfume, this would be it.




On the right is my old standby, Oatmeal, Milk and Honey. It's got colloidal oatmeal and honey plus a good dose of goat's milk and yogurt. On the left is Coconut. It smells like an Almond Joy and contains both coconut butter and coconut milk. I could eat this one too.




These two will wake you up. On the right is Awaken, which is a sweet citrus scent and rather strong. It's not very pretty because I tried to mix it while it was too hot and it turned into caramel pudding. It's still a lovely bar to use in spite of it's looks. Satsuma Orange is NOT a sweet citrus scent like Awaken. It's crisp and tart. It was a surprise to me. I didn't think I would like it but it grew on me after using it. 




Avalon, on the right, is one I've made before. It's a new favorite of mine. It smells like strawberries to me but it's supposed to be a mixed floral. Go figure. Honeysuckle on the left smells just like the flower. No surprises there.




I don't usually like fragrances I can't identify but I took a chance on Star Showers and I'm glad I did. It's a light fragrance that to me smells like soap should. It reminds me of baby powder. Cucumber Melon is a 80's retro fragrance. Think walking past a Bath and Body Works in a mall. 




Finally, on the right I have natural Cocoa Butter. This one has a tiny bit of chocolate fragrance to enhance the experience. It also has 2 whole ounces of that cocoa butter. It's very rich. On the left is Vanilla Bean and it smells just like you'd think. It contains my two new oils, jojoba and argon, for extra conditioning.



Choose your three favorite bars and I will do my best to see you get two of them. 
Send me your mailing info at either Ravelry or my soap email. The info for both is in the side bar. 
Thanks again for helping me clear my shelves. There's FALL soap to be made!
