Soaps From Canada!

I have said few times before, but it won't hurt if I repeat myself - one of the best things in blogging is connecting with fellow soapers around the globe. I am such a horrible soap junkie, that regardless the fact that I make my own soap and have supplies for until the end of 2089, I love getting my hands on other people soap too. I love soap swaps! But, not swaps just for the sake of it, but I truly and honestly enjoy sharing the love for the soapmaking craft and enjoying superior products. That is why I am also quite picky myself when it comes to suggesting and accepting swaps with other soapmakers. I like to support handcraft, but there is only a limited number of soap artist in whom work I am so interested that no postage fee will ever stop me getting my hands on their creations. Having said that, I was so happy when Cee Gee suggested we do a swap of our soaps! I've been introduced to Cees' blog via my soapy friends Maja and Goca, and ever since June, I am regularly following her blog.

She has this amazing variety of soaps, and and an endless supply of new design ideas. Furthermore, I am also always very intrigued with different ingredients she always experiments with in her soaps, so when she asked me what soaps would I like to sample, the choice was tough indeed. I did make a preliminary list, but I had confidence that whatever she sends, there's going to definitely more than one thing that I will like.
It took some time for my parcel to arrive, but boy oh boy, was it worth it!
Here is a look of all the lovely goodies I got from Cee.

Selection of Oil&Butter Soaps

In spite of such a long way, all of them reached my house safe and sound. Just look at all these lovelies  I love getting post, it makes me feel cozy in this virtual era of instant photos and emails.

I wish I could shower 9 times per day so that I can use up all these lovelies in faster pace. I've tried so far 4 soaps: Banana Milk, Mango Butter, Sandalwood and Carrot Buttermilk. I am so in love with Carrot, words cannot describe it! I have never tried buttermilk soap, and the overall formula is so luscious that my skin really loves me for using it. So, as you can see, it is difficult for me to move on to the next soap, so I was even thinking to make a sort of a bathroom shower schedule.

And a special treat - this is a soap mug she made from a mold she made herself. Check out her post on 'how to make your own soap mold'. Seriously, people, how cute is this?!

Soap Mug

Cee was so generous that I just have not the faintest idea how and when will I be able to use up all of them!
I promise I will post here follow-ups and more impressions as I get to try more soaps. Until then, I urge you all to drop by Cee's blog and check out what's cooking in her soap workshop.
