{Yes, I Love Soap - Do YOU}

YES, I LOVE SOAP - DO YOU?
Nothing feels more luxurious than a creamy bar of soap!
Oh, the fragrance of a bar of soap can be just heavenly!
Before using soaps I always place them between my clean bed linens; learned that from my Mom!
So you already get many uses out of a bar of soap, besides it being Eco Friendly as you don't dispose of plastic bottles in the landfill!
These soap bars are made from goat milk which is also very mild for the skin.
Compared to body wash, only very little ends up in the landfill...
By now, you know how much I love to photograph with flowers! 
They always add to whatever subject.
Dans un Jardin, the Canadian made soaps just called for adding a huge Southern Magnolia...
Love the different cream colors...
Dans un Jardin
or
In a Garden...
Do YOU also love the old fashioned bar of soap?

  1. I love pretty soap too and the addition of the magnolia is beautiful.
    My late mom always loved Yardley Lavender soap; it always reminds me of her to smell that lovely fragrance.

  10. I make my own soaps as I find they have less chemicals. I love beautiful scented soaps, and also put them between sheets and other clothes in the drawers.

  12. Dearest Mariette; I LOVE the fragrance from soap and I agree with the "Eco Friendly" part, Dear friend. Love your Southern Magnolia as well♡♡♡

  13. Oh yes, I do love an old-fashioned bar of soap. Your soap looks amazing and just from the pictures I can tell it's very creamy....how delightful! :)

    Blessings to you, sweet friend. Hugs!

  14. I love your display of soap bars with flowers. Magnolia flowers add elegance and (I can't smell, but I imagine) fragrance to them! For my shower, I use bar of soap instead of bottles, too. Bar soaps feel creamier, I think. And you've got good point, it's more eco-friendly!

  15. Liebe Mariette,
    auch ich liebe und verwende noch die altmodische
    Seife. Ich finden den Geruch betörend. Herrlich, wenn
    die frische Wäsche ganz zart duftet.
    Liebe Grüße schickt Dir
    Irmi

  18. I have a local friend who makes goat milk soap...and truly is amazing. I really think it's because of the goat milk and the natural ingredients

  20. I LOVE the smell of a new bar of hand milled soap. In fact, I've had the same bar of French hand milled soap in my guest room for years. It never seems to diminish in size and still smells glorious.

    Beautiful post, Mariette.

    Cheers, M-T

  24. I can nearly smell the delicate scent of this soap!!
    It is so well presented you should have been hired to do the publicity for it :)
