If there's one thing that like more than blogging, it is reading blogs! I've been a fan of The Soapbar for sometime now. I admit, I am a lurker, but when I found out that I was just in time for a contest, I had to break the silence. Joanna of the
Soapbar blog and
Heirloom Soapworks joined forces and sponsored a give-a-way on November 1, 2010. And guess who won? I was picked at random and my lucky number was 35!
I am the owner of these delectable soaps! They look like slices of cake!
One of my
hobbies passions is trying out handmade soaps. If any of you know me in real life... well, my obsession for handmade soaps is a little crazy. But there is a reason to all of this madness. During the Fall/Winter, the skin on my hands wage a war against me. I hate to admit that they get dry and cracked. Its really ugly! There were times that the cracks had gotten so severe that my hands would bleed and I would have to put band-aids all over my fingers. For a lack of a better word, I had zombie hands! I approached the problem aggressively by investing in different kinds of moisturizers, but none of them worked. It was only until I switched to handmade soap is when the problem went away! Now I have beautiful hands that look age-appropriate!
What I love about Joanna's blog is that she's a soap enthusiast herself. She creates her own soaps and writes reviews for other soap makers. And if you're lucky to catch them, she sometimes sponsors give-a-ways. What I love best about her blog is what she calls "soap porn". One look at her
blog and you'll know what I mean. There are a lot of photos to oogle over.
