Speechless......


Speechless was I to open the package this morning. I found there 5 lovely gourmet soaps , made by Sharon from http://www.platypusdreams.com.au/
I think these soaps are one of the most beautiful there are on this planet! There are 4 goatmilk soaps and one without.They are beautifully packed and smell like you're in heaven. Well, I hope heaven will have them, otherwise I am in trouble.
These are my experiences with the soaps: Vovacia, the purple one ( on the right) has many bubbles and creamy leather. It feels like you're walking in the clouds
The Berrylicious smells like many fruits, but the apple plays the main part :) Many bubbles and feels great on the skin.
The Lemon soap smells like little lemon with a fine fresh top of lime i guess.
The Yummer smells like butterscotch, but not overwhelming and has great creamy swirls in it.The Floral Essence soap ( with the roses) has patchouli in it, and some hints of flowers.But it is a robuste soap ( could also be for men)!
Well I am enjoying every minute in the shower. So take a look at Platypus dreams!

Blueberry Hill


Sometimes colours and perfume oil blends come surprisingly. Knowing that yellow and blue becomes green, we don't have all the answers. This has to become a blueberries soap. Lovely fragrances of blueberries, blackberries, mango, vanilla bean and strawberries. On top i put some moonseed just for fun on the hills...

herbs


In the kitchen, there is allways room for herbs. For instance basil, rosemary and lovely thyme. They give not only taste to your food, but can help you when you are having flue. Nature gives us so many exclusive plants and why not make a rosemary/thyme soap, full of fresh ( saponified) herbs , and lovely essential oils in it.
