"Cinnamon Oats Scrub" from Jenora Soaps

Well, so far I've showered twice, washed my hair once, my face twice, shaved my legs with it...I love this soap!  It's "Cinnamon Oats Scrub" by Jenora Soaps and it's fantastic!  This is the photo I took just after my shower this a.m. -just look at the cinnamon and oats!  It smells fabulous, very cinnamon-ey with maybe some clove, I'm not sure. (My husband guessed what kind I used last night when I made him smell my arm, so the scent does linger nicely) You've got to try this one!

Jen, I love the exfoliation!  A good exfoliant always makes me feel like I'm scaring my cellulite! LOL
I guess you could offer it in two levels of exfoliation...I've seen that done before...but I think it's great just as-is.   The lather is really nice, creamy and rich, yet also bubbly.  I am amazed that this soap is PALM FREE!   I think that is such an admirable and responsible way to go.

I'll try the other soaps soon.  I could have this morning, but I had to use this cinnamon one again!
BTW, it has passed my ultimate "no lotion" test that I judge my own soaps by.  My skin feels great, even after shaving, with no lotion...now that's good soap!

Happy skin, y'all!

To Soap or to Mulch, that is the question!

Goood Moooorning Soap Fans!

Today's lye and water have been combined, and I'm hoping to get to the citrus homemade soap later today.
The partial pile of mulch in the pickup truck is a distraction, though, as the weatherman is calling for rain....

If the sun comes out, it may well be Photography Day. I really need to take some photos of the
Oatmeal-Honey naturalsoap for you all to see and to use on my website. Any fresh ideas out there for props? I'm sort of bored with the towel, soap and ingredient formula. Maybe I'll just leave out the towel and do a messy shot complete with a pool of honey and a pile of oatmeal...that may be refreshingly edgy compared to my other photos!
