Christmas Soap

Okay well on my last post I mentioned I would try to keep up with some Holiday Gift ideas so here I am again.  While I am not a very proficiant blogger I will try. 

The mittens in my last post have sold.  I really liked those mittens and have a bitter sweet feeling that they are gone.

Here are some fun soaps to dress up your own bathroom or gift to those who would enjoy them as well.


Sant's Beard Soap

From the Soap Garden Shop on Etsy "I've been a good girl all year long, but I always feel that a little extra kindness can't hurt; and that's why I leave cookies for Santa! This soap is what I imagine Santa's beard to look like after eating all those cookies, just covered in sprinkles. The scent of this soap is called Christmas Cookies - how cute is that? :) "






Candy Cane Soap

From Lippincott Soap Co "Our "Candy Cane" handmade cold process soap smells like a minty Christmas candy cane. The scent is a true "wake-you-up" fragrance. Sure to become a favorite with children of all ages.

This soap is made with skin-loving olive, palm, coconut, canola and castor oils. We've also "superfatted" it with shea butter for that extra boost of luxury. The added castor oil creates lots of creamy, bubbly lather."





Christmas Soap Bar Swirl in Red, White & Green

From Soap Rhapsody "Bright and cheerful, this Christmas Soap bar is swirled in bright red, white and green. The bar is the perfect addition to any bath or kitchen for the holidays. This bar is scented with my own blend of Sweet Orange with barely a hint of Clove"

Snow Day

So this snow storm has me thinking back to my childhood. I can remember going out to play in the snow as a child with my little brother. We did not have the snow gear that our kids are so blessed with these days. Snowpants consisted of layering as many pair of pants you could get on and still walk. Maybe even an under coating of your pajama pants to substitute for long underwear. Your Mittens were not of the waterproof thinsulate type material. No, if you were lucky you found a matching set of mittens in the closet, and they were usually of the "Knit" type that would get so covered with snow that the layer closest to your hand would start to melt and re-freeze and make it near impossible to keep them from from falling off. Like the pants you would build layer upon layer of t-shirt, sweatshirt and sweater under your winter coat until zipping it up made you feel like a stuffed sausage. A knit hat and scarf and you were almost there! But don't forget the bread bags to line the boots!!.

Now we would stay out there as long as the folks would let us. Paying, building forts, tunnels and small cities. By the time we got the call to "come in" we were exhausted, scarfs plastered with what was once inside our noses ( yuk but you know it's true!). By now our pants were true SNOWpants as they were covered ever inch in it and frozen like stiff board. We'd Frankenstein walk up the front steps and into the house and start the thaw.

Some how I can't remember being cold.. only having fun! :)
But today.. I walk from the house to the car and I am freezing!
