My Favorite Soap: Herbaria

Hi Everyone

I have a lot of people ask me my 'favorite' this or that. I guess being a writer makes me an expert on things--but it doesn't. Not really. I do know what I like and don't like. Now THAT, I can share with you!

And I take great pleasure in sharing my most favorite soap in the world with you: Herbaria. I found these folks when I was at the St. Louis Missouri Botanical Garden two years ago.


Here is a lovely photo of their Almond-Green Tea soap. Another one I ordered. I love the fragrance of almond, so felt this would be a 'healthy' bar to buy!

They had a table set up in front of the gift shop and of course, I love hand made soap! I love anything that is home made and hand made. I'm from the old school where appreciation of people's efforts mean something important to me. Probably why I love quilts so much, too--(and I'll share my favorite quilter and her website with you in another blog!). People who put their HEART and intent into what they are doing are sending that energy into whatever they are creating and making. THAT is the world to me because when people make something they usually love what they do. And they put that loving energy into their product, no matter if it is a book, a quilt, a bar of soap or whatever.


Here is CHOCOLATE SOAP!!! What a sinful, delightful soap to have! I can hardly wait to get mine!!

When I went up to the Herbaria table, I met LeRee and Ken. Talk about good vibes and wonderful, soft, loving energy. These two folks had it in spades. And of course, if they had it, I knew they were putting it into their delightfully different, interesting soap they made! I bought six bars on that trip. The next year, I bought a bunch more for me and my family and friends for Christmas. I always like to give gifts you can USE!


This is one of my favorite soaps because I simply adore the odor of spices!
That's just me: Miss Practical, haha. And their soap is unique. They use organic ingredients and they care about what they're doing--not to mention, the inventiveness of the different scents they put into their soaps. Wow. This year, they have CHOCOALTE! Needless to say, I bought some!! Can you imagine lathering up with CHOCOLATE SOAP? The fragrance? Yum. Probably good enough to eat....but hey, let my skin pores absorb it, chuckle.


I saved the best for last. This was the soap that got me at the Missouri Botanical Garden. And I just realized, I forgot to order it! Yikes!! Gotta call and get thta order in!!


If you are looking for a wonderful gift that keeps on giving, I highly recommend LaRee and Ken's Herbaria Soap. You just can't go wrong. And they got great holiday season deals right now, so toddle over. And your friends and relatives will thank you....gift certificates allow them to pick their special soap and fragrance, too.

There's ways to get clean, and then, there's great ways to get clean!

In Spirit....
