I have never had a great fondness for shoes or purses...

like a lot of women do. Recently though, I have come across something that is my equivalent to other women's fondness for purses and shoes.

goatsmilkstuff

Soap, my new found little treasure; organic goats milk and olive oil soap to be exact. The only ingredients in this lovely bit of soap. It feels as though I am washing my skin with silk. I wash my face and shave my legs with it. Something that would never cross my mind; with that other bar of soap and all the dry skin that comes with it.

With every order, three sample of different soaps are sent. With each sample I find a new favorite. My next order; goats milk, oatmeal and honey scrub. Now I know I will never touch a bar of that other soap again. If only I could convince my daughter other wise. After this soap arrived I immediately banished, the opened bar of that other soap, that was in the shower. The next day a new bar of that other soap, "poof"..... reappeared. She won't even try it.

Oh well, she does not know what she is missing... and did I say, more for me.

A kind friend with whom i reconnected after many years, gifted me with some of her homemade soap. She had a soapmaking business for some time, and had stopped the business, but had still had lots of soap, so gifted me with a half dozen bars.

I was amazed at how much better my skin felt! About the time i was down to my last bar, i went to a craft fair and met a woman making soap. I bought a few bars, and WOW!

Like you, i don't really care so much about purses and shoes. I don't wear makeup, either, but i have to say that when it comes to soap, like you, i've found wonderful handmade soaps and never want to go back!
