Pamper yourself without breaking the bank! Fabulous suds for $5 or less!

Hey Love Buds!

We're coming down the stretch to my birthday.  Later this week, I'll give you a peek at my current soap dish situation and an awesome giveaway for my birthday.  But today, I want to talk about soap ballin' on a budget!

My need for an extensive soap collection has necessitated a need to be thrifty.  Quality handmade soap can sell for over $10 a bar and though I love to treat myself, there are lots of soap artisans who don't sacrifice quality while still providing a reasonably priced product.

This statement by no means discounts the hard work and craftsmanship put into creating handmade soap.  It takes a keen scientific insight and creativity to create great soap.  But for those of us on a tight budget, there are still some great options to be found.  I've personally tried all of the soaps I present today and none of them disappoint. Each was provided to me without charge in exchange for my honest opinion.  Here are a few options for finding great handmade soap for $5 a bar or less:

LOVE YOUR SUDS
 This company is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, so for those of us in the US and other countries, shipping may be an issue, but I highly recommend this soap.  The bar pictures is Mocha Mint and it is truly TO DIE FOR!  It sells for $3 Canadian and is about the size of a half to a third bar of soap (just about 2.5 ounces).  I know, for 4.5 to 5.5 bar, the equivalent price is not as thrifty, but if you have tons of soap like me, this is the perfect size.

Even if this was a proportional priced 5 or so ounce bar, I suggest you give it a try.  Not only is it gorgeous, but it is filled with ground espresso beans giving it scrubby, tingly, chocolatey, invigoratingly awesome bathing texture.  With my sensitive skin, I'm not for overly exfoliating bars.  Though this bar is just a bit rough for my skin, I kept bathing with it because the lather and fragrance are intoxicating.  Check out Love Your Suds on Facebook and Instagram.

 

CAST SOAP CO.
 The nice people behind Cast Soap Company create awesome soap in Dublin, Ohio. The magnificent 4 ounce sudsy creations sold by Cast Soap are priced at just $4 per bar.  You can grab these locally in several shops in Ohio and Cast Soap can also be found on Etsy.  These bars are hot processed with great lather and leave skin feeling great.  I tried the Oatmeal Scrub, which was nicely exfoliating, but not overly so.  I also received the sweet honey almond to try and though almond is not one of my favorite scents, my mother really enjoys almond and loved this soap.  Check our Cast Soap on Facebook and Etsy.

UNEARTH MALEE

I've previously reviewed these soaps and absolutely love the natural soap bars offered by Unearth Malee. These bars are Asian inspired, delicately scented and beautifully crafted.  While the regular price of these bars is $6.50 each (4.5 to 5 oz bars), every month, one bar is marked down to $5.00.  For July, it is their Dead Sea Minerals Salt and Mud Bar (pictured left).  I highly recommend these amazing bars which are made without palm oil to support orangutan habitats.  Visit Unearth Malee on Facebook and Etsy.

I still have a few more vendors to cover and that will be in part 2 of this series, later this month.  The other creators I will review include, Emily's Soaps, Ladybug Suds and Sundries and A&M Soap.

In the meantime, check out my creations here!  All soaps are always $5 or less and for my birthday, they are marked down to $3 plus every order of $6 or more receives a free gift of your choice. 

Until next time,

Peace, Love and lots of affordable yummy Bubbles!

That Bomb has a Nice Ring to It! ~ Pearl Bath Bombs

Hey Love Buds!

Before I went on hiatus, I was asked to give my opinion on a wonderful new product.  Tessa, the owner of Pearl Bath Bombs reached out to me to collaborate on testing and promoting these awesome "pearls" of joy.  Since then, Pearl Bath Bombs have been reviewed, praised and promoted by media outlets far greater than my little blog, but a promise is a promise and I did receive this gem in exchange for my honest review and by golly, even though this is six months late, I am going to post my review.

So, Pearl Bath Bombs are of course bath bombs, like most, they act as huge alka seltzer tablet for your bath tub, fizzing and bubbling to soften, scent and add bubbles to your bath.  However, these bath bombs all include a sparkly surprise inside!

Each bath orange sized bath bomb includes a ring and the chance to win a ring worth up to $5,000.

I am not an avid bath enthusiast, but to be able to give my opinion on a product, I've got to use it and I must say my bath with a lemongrass scent Pearl Bath Bomb was pretty refreshing!

The lemongrass scent was sweet and citrusy, I really enjoyed it and it left my bath water looking like this:

Since my bath bomb was for promotional purposes, the ring was not included.  None the less, my bath was fantastic, the whole bathroom was filled with yummy fragrance.

I really like that everyone is a winner with Pearl Bath Bombs, even if you don't qualify for one of the high value rings, you still receive Pearl Points that can be used to redeem additional bath bombs.

One aspect of this item I'm not crazy about is that you cannot choose the size of the ring included in the bath bomb you purchase.  Its a bit of a bummer to receive a cute ring but it doesn't fit at all.  Other than that, I highly recommend Pearl Bath Bombs, they are a great way to treat yourself and they make great gifts.

These are pretty large, about 4 to 6 ounces and the prices run from $14.99 to $24.99 (which is for a bath bomb called "The mother of all dragons", a tribute to TV series Game of Thrones), with packs of three or five offering a nice discount.

I'm off to make more soap, going to work on a project for Brambleberry's #soaptherainbow campaign.

Until next time,

Peace, Love and lots of yummy, citrusy, sparkly Bubbles!

Hi Love Buds!

I can't stop sniffing this bar of soap!*  The June soap of the month from the Petals Bath Boutique soap of the month club is BUTTERFLY KISSES and it is just what I imagined kissing a butterfly would be like in my head.  It is a slightly tangy, fruity and sweet scent combination but it is not overpowering.  It's as if the scent was just lightly wafting through the air  ~ similar to the way a butterfly flies.  

The purple swirls and butterfly are gorgeous and since Kia and I share a love for both the butterflies and the color purple, this soap, which she created because her birthday is in June is just as near to my heart as it is here.

This bar is a whopping 6.7 ounces which is no small thing.  If you haven't already, you need to run to the Petals Bath Boutique website and purchase a three of six month Soap of the Month Club subscription.  The boxes ship the second week of the month, so you still have time to grab this one!

Petals Bath Boutique Soap of the Month Club shipments ship the second week of each month, so you still have time to receive June's amazing soap.  Click below to purchase yours now!  Shipping is included in the prices.  You can't beat the price, get each of these huge bars shipped directly to you (or a loved one) for as little as $7.50 each!

Soap of the Month by Petals Bath Boutique

 Hey Love Buds!

What could be better than getting a box of sudsy awesomeness every few months after a Petals Bath Boutique release?  A box of sudsy awesomeness from Petals Bath Boutique EVERY MONTH!

I recently received my first month's shipment from the Petals Bath Boutique Soap of the Month club. Several of my favorite soap makers offer a similar service and I was ecstatic to learn that Kia decided to offer a monthly subscription for her amazing soap!  Kia in her ever amazing generosity sent me the May and June soaps of the month to share with you!  Of course you're about to hear my honest feedback on these soaps and this service and I was supplied with them in return for my honest feedback.

It has been rainy and ugly here for several weeks and my lawn, which I call "a field of clover", is of course looking lush and gorgeous, so I decided to venture outside on this first sunny day in what seems like forever to take this picture.  

Now, the 411 on the Petals Bath Boutique Soap of the Month program.  Each month, Kia prepares a special bar of soap just for club members.  These are not available for retail sale.  The subscriptions are available on the Petals website in 6 month and 12 month terms for $50.00 and $90.00 respectively.  Shipping is included in subscription price.

Let me tell you about the soap....

I have said on numerous occasions that Petals Bath Boutique soap is the best soap I have tried.  Kia's soap always leave my skin feeling great and the variety of scents that rotate keeps my soap junkie jones jonesing. 

For May, Kia brings some swirly, spring time fairy glitter to one of her old favorites, Bramble Patch.  

Bramble Patch ~ Juicy blackberries with a fruity center of cassis on a warm and sensual base of amber

This soap is gorgeous and HUGE.  In comparison to the usual bars from Petals that are around 4.5 ounces, this bar is 7 ounces!  I will be honest that I'm not a fan of resin scents.  The amber in this fragrance is just a bit too much for me, but the bar itself is some serious eye candy.  I'll tell you more about June soap later.  *hint: I won't be giving it away!

 GIVEAWAY!

Because I don't want this bar to go to waste, I'll be doing a little giveaway.  Simply comment below (your comment must be on this blog post)  with a fragrance you would like to see in this soap of the month subscription service.  Oh, you must also be a fan of Petals Bath Boutique and 4 the Love of Bubbles on Facebook.  I will randomly select a winner on May 30th, when I review June's bar.

Good Luck! 

and until next time, Peace, Love and Lots of lovely pink glittery Bubbles!

Second Chances: Sunshine & Rain

Good Morning LoveBuds,

I know, I was gone for a few months, and now posts two days in a row.  Sadly, I might be gone for a few weeks before the next post, but I will share as often as I am able!  The love of bubbles runs strong with us...I just can't stay away, LOL.

Today I want to share something I found quite interesting...

Sunshine & Rain Spring 2015

The Petals Bath Boutique Spring 2015 release premiered the scent "Sunshine & Rain".   The description of the scent grabbed me "An intriguingly fresh and sweet scent with fresh Lime and Raw Sugarcane with a heart of Hawaiian Hibiscus, Kona Sugarloaf and Blood Orange on a base of Vanilla Orchid". I grabbed two bars of it along with a matching custard and body shot spray.

When I tried the soap for the first time, I wasn't quite feeling the scent.  I'm not sure why at the moment, but for some reason I was never really prompted to use the soap again.  Of course it was not the lather or the feel, those are a constant with Petals Bath Boutique soaps and I am always enamored with the way my skin feels when using these soaps.  It was just something about the fragrances that was slightly off putting.

Sunshine & Rain Spring 2016

Fast forward to Spring 2016.  Kia remakes this bar and it is just as cute as last year's bar.  I was compelled to purchase again, even though I had a bar from last year still in my stash.  Why?  Because I am an addict.  It was cute and it was calling my name.  

When my order arrived, I smelled the bar in the new Petals Bath Boutique boxes with the cut outs.  It smelled amazing fresh and sweet.  I smelled it again and the "meh" I felt about this scent last year turned into "I must use it now!".  Sometimes things happen with fragrance oil suppliers and scents change a bit - I wondered if that was it.  But when things like that happen, Kia is quick to let us know.  To ensure that it was not a change in the scent, I took my bar from last year out and used it last week.

First let me tell you that whenever you allow a handmade soap to sit and cure for about a year, the performance of the soap levels up by 1000.  You get crazy stupid bubbles and the conditioning affect on your skin is incredible.  I really try now to hold on to my bars for a couple of months after purchasing to use them.  The difference is shocking.

Now, back to Sunshine & Rain.  I was intoxicated.  This same bar that I could care less about last year, was now the most amazing shower experience.  I am in love with this scent now.  I just can't understand why I wasn't crazy about it last year.  Next I'm going to have to give Purple Rain another try because...Prince :(

Have you ever given a product a second chance after it let you down the first time?  I used to be a one and done junkie, but now, I think I'm going to give my stuff a second opportunity to wow me.

Until next time ~
Peace, Love & Lots of Second Chance to wow you Bubbles!

#MashupMonday April Showers

I know I've been away for awhile, my master's degree coursework is taking up quite a bit more of my time than I thought it would, very different from undergrad.  But I am still appreciating the awesomeness of the bath and body world.  

So, I thought I'd share with you a small post I put on Facebook, which happened to be a bit of a #mashupmonday.  So enjoy, for those who did not see it on Facebook.  I've got a little something else for you today as well...  See the Facebook post here

This Saturday, April 9th was a dreary, rainy, cold day. IT'S APRIL, I need some sun or at least weather above 60 degrees ~ sheesh! So as I prepared to go out and be slapped in the face by mother nature's not at all funny joke of an April weekend, I decided to change up my shower game. Instead of something sweet or earthy, I decided to pull out this box of beautiful rustic soaps by Sunlit Soap. Jan really does make awesome works of art over there. Her soap is so beautiful, it is hard to use. But when you use it, it is hard not to want more!

So I pull out the Mint Tea Mud and commence to latherization (I don't care what that red underline says, it is a word!). First, let me say that these soaps are bigger in person and the shape fits comfortably in your hand as you use the flat bottom to lather. The lather is amazing and the minty goodness was just the tingle I needed to face the nasty day. (Beware, this minty tingle is not advised for your sensitive area).

 

I then paired it with the lavender citrus infused oil gelee** that I made myself. The thick oil, smoothed on easily and helped to lock moisture in all day and the light citrus lavender minty essence was an amazing combination!

So I guess I just wrote up a quick ‪#‎MashupMonday‬ post, lol. What can I say, I do it ‪#‎4theloveofbubbles‬

**What is this oil gelee that I speak of?  It is a thickened body oil I made to use and a hair and body moisture sealant.  As requested by some in a group on Facebook, I made some available for purchase.  To learn more, look for the sale post in the Handmade Soap & Beauty Lovers Shop & Swap Facebook group (you must be a member to see the post).

Until next time, Lovebuds

Peace, Love & Loads of awesome bubbles!

Review: Scent Bird

Due to some technical difficulties, #mashupmonday didn't happen this week, but look for it next week.  But I'm excited to share something else with you!

As you are aware, my motto is "variety is the spice of life".  I love trying new things and having a large selection of body treats from which to choose.

One thing that I have a hard time doing is creating a wardrobe of perfumes.  First, its hard to try to select a complex fragrance blend based on a scent description alone.  Even if you are able to select something online, you never know how that fragrance will work with your body chemistry.  For me, it even goes a little further.  I have found several scents that I liked in a store, tried it on and loved and purchased only to realize that wearing it all day gave me  headache.  With quality perfumes/colognes going for over $50 for a half ounce, this just hasn't been a risk I've been willing to take.

Scentbird offers an great subscription service where each month you receive a quarter ounce spritzer of one of their hundreds of designer fragrances for just $14.95 each month!
The fragrance come packaged in one of these cute purse/pocket sizes misters protected by a black velvet drawstring bag.  The best thing about this service is that you get to select the fragrances that are shipped to you!  If you're not sure which to select, you will receive the featured fragrance of the month.  

Here you can see what I've received and what I have coming up.  Each member has full access to the website and can choose any number of fragrances to add to your queue.  You can even move around the order and if you want, you can get more than one vial of a fragrance shipped to you.  You can also upgrade to receive 2 or 3 vials per month (for an additional cost).


The subscription indicates that you receive the fragrance vial each month and with your first month's shipment you receive a black carry canister that you can slip your vial down in.  The vial then twists up so that you can spray the fragrance.  Scentbird offers specials on different colored canisters as well.  The first one I received was red.  I then purchased the violet (because I love purple), but then my second shipment came with the black one.  I am not sure if now you receive a new canister each month or if I just lucked up and received an extra one - I'll keep you posted.

With all of these great ways to enjoy this service, great price, cute containers, the ability to choose what I receive each month, I feel the best thing about Scentbird is the way they visually display a description of each fragrance.

If you hover over the pictures, it will reveal the name of the fragrance note depicted.  It even breaks down the scent by type, personality, occasion and season.  With this guide, I have chosen numerous fragrances to try and I'm happy to report the first two that I have received were awesome!  I can't wait for my next shipment to arrive.

What are your favorite perfume/cologne scents?  I'm loving these light, fruity, aquatic scents but I'm building up the courage to try something a little more sultry...

Until next time Love Buds ~

Peace, Love & Loads of sensationally scented bubbles!

Did you see my video visit to Hejin Soaps?  Check it out!

 

Feature Friday: Hejin Body Works

 

Love Buds,

This is long overdue.  This past summer, I traveled to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and visited the cutest darn soap shop with a piggie mascot on the face of this planet!

Hejin Body Works is an awesome soap company owned by Christina & Matt. They started selling soap about three years ago.  In the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, the couple began to take note of the ingredients and prices of commercial bath and body products.  The crazy names of the stuff in these items coupled with the outrageous prices spurned Matt & Christina into action.  All of those products looked so clinical and serious.  What fun was there in that?  With those thoughts in mind, Hejin Body Works was born with its owners striving to be the "Ben & Jerry's of the Natural Bath & Body world".

The smell of the shop was so amazing and shout out to Melissa!  She was an awesome host in Matt & Christina's absence.  The only thing more awesome than the quality of the products I picked up has to be the price.  Each 4 oz bar of soap is only $3.99!  You can't beat that with a stick, and why would you? LOL.  

Now for the sad news... Due to some medical issues, Matt & Christina will not be able to operate Hejin Body Works for much longer.  They are looking into options including turning the company over to new ownership.  I wish them all the best, my interactions with them have always left me with a smile.  
 
This means don't delay!  Head on over to hejin.life (yes, that's the website), and grab tons of goodies.  At these prices, it's like Black Friday prices all the time!

Share your haul with me on Facebook or Instagram and hastag it #4theloveofbubbles #hejinhijinks 

Until Next time~

Peace, Love & Loads of piggy pink bubbles!

These products are the BOMB! Review of Xplosive CosmetiX

Xplosive CosmetiX

I am not sure what drew me to try these products.  I believe I was browsing Etsy and came across their flamboyant products in bright, dare I say "explosively" designed packaging.  Whatever it was that caused me to purchase these items, I am glad that I was spurred to try this product line.  

Danielle opened the Xplosive CosmetiX shop on Etsy just about two years ago and in that time she produced a line of bath and body products that have delighted thousands of customers with its offerings of handmade soaps, body butters, cosmetic micas, perfumes and wax tarts.  

I received Hawaiian Flower soap, Candy Twist and Sex in the Shower whipped soaps and Rock Candy whipped soap sugar scrub.  

The Hawaiian Flower cold process soap was a very firm bar weight about 5.4 oz and was priced at $6.25, which is very reasonable.  The fragrance was a subtle floral arrangement with a slight spicy undertone.  It lathered very will with big bubbles and a creamy feel.  The bar itself had great slip and my skin felt great after using it.  The soap included colloidal oatmeal, kaolin clay and coconut milk. 

I was excited to try the Fluffy Whipped soap because it is propylene glycol free!  However I tempered my excitement because many cream soaps don't lather very well.  But I was delightfully surprised by this product.  The lather was exceptional not as much as some handmade soaps I've used but there were actual bubbles!  and the candy twist scent is similar to my all time favorite soap fragrance, ever so that was a definite treat!  

The whipped sugar scrub uses the whipped soap as a base so again, my skin was not irritated though it did not lather as well as the cream soap, but that is to be expected because of the added sugar.  The scrub is lightly exfoliating and the Rock Candy scent is LOVE.

I was highly impressed with these products and would recommend them to anyone, especially someone who is looking for a more natural cream soap product.

If a YouTube video is over 15 minutes it should be considered a short movie!

What a Revolting Discovery!

I came across Soap Revolt Naturals on Etsy.  Immediately, I was drawn the the wholesome goodness that just seemed to be emanating from their product catalog.  Jean, the owner, like many other handmade bath and body product makers began creating products due to her own health concerns.  While battling with cancer, she became aware of the toxins in many commercial products and decided to do better.

And that she did.  Her collection of handmade products include soap, moisturizers, face care and men's items.  All are made with no artificial colors or preservatives.

When reviewing these products I was suffering with a cold, I thought it would be a great time to use the lavender mint, dead sea clay soap...AND IS WAS RIGHT!  The exfoliating qualities of the dead sea clay really helped to stimulate blood flow while absorbing impurities and the lavender mint scent opened up my sinuses.  The lather was amazing and my skin was smooth and silky after using it.
 
I used the big pumpkin soap as a face cleanser and I really love how it cleaned without stripping.  With continued use I had clean bright skin.  Great Stuff!

The shower oil is a light blend of natural seed oils that penetrates quickly and conditions instantly.  It is a great blend for both skin and hair and is light enough to use in the shower prior to drying off as well as after drying off (using for both works nicely as well).

The only downside to this entire experience was the scent of the shower all.  With it being named "orange blossom",  I was expecting a neroli (actual blossoms from orange tree essence) scent, which I find to be very refreshing.  This was scented with orange along with what smells like clove essential oil.  The clove is a turn off for me.  After using the shower oil, to me, I smelled like a holiday ham - you know the ones with the sweet red glaze and cloves stuck all in it.  But that was the only downside.  I really love the way this oil feels when I use it and might try so #mashup ideas with it to lessen the clovey scent.

Exxxxcuuusseee BAMI!

Earlier this year when I visited the Laurel Main Street Festival, I was introduced to BAMI products.  This small bath and body product company is truly all about family.  This budding company makes some great handmade items for your skin and I am happy to spread the word!

BAMI was started by Ms. Bernadette.  After experiencing issues with dry, irritated and sensitive skin as the result of some medical issues, she researched and began making her own bath and body products.  Soon, like most cottage businesses, she was making it for family and friends and then it took off from there.

Truly about family, BAMI is an acronym for Ms. Bernadette's name and the names of her three children (A)lisha (M)arvin & (I)niko  (hopefully, I spelled those correctly).  Each of the children help in some way in the ongoing operations of the company.

I was taken aback by the shear size of these bars.  Each soap weighs in at 7.5 to 8.5 ounces!  For $10 each, which is marked down on their website to $7.00, the price is outstanding.  The sandalwood scent is intoxicatingly  (yes, I made up a word for it) rich.  A smell of true sandalwood in dense, firm bar.  The razzleberry is a fun an fruity scent with added raspberry seeds for exfoliation.  For my sensitive skin, I found the seeds to be a little too much, though I really love the scent.  The level of exfoliation is similar to Lush's Figs & Leaves soap - which is a bit too much for regular use for me.  But also like Figs & Leaves, I love the scent and will use it occasionally. 

The BAMI fragrance is a custom blended scent created by Bernadette herself.  I fell in love with it as soon as I smelled it.  It is a very soft, feminine musk scent with a powdery finish and ever so light floral undertones.  An absolute must try scent.  I also picked up the BAMI scented body butter.  Now this butter is a thick, shea butter based butter.  A little goes a long way and definitely use after you've added some moisture to your skin to seal it in and leave you smelling fabulous!

I highly recommend trying BAMI Products, they are small but the quality and value is AWESOME!

What small business items have you been using lately?  I really want to know! :)

Later Love Buds!
