After two looong weeks, the soap package finally came to my doorstep on Tuesday night. I was almost at the end of my nervs, cursing all the post offices and holidays of the world! Yes, I know, I am addicted to soap. Severe case. :)
Joanna from The Soap Bar and Product Body was the first to get the package from Cocobong. After reading the Joanna's post, I was completely puzzled about what of her soaps she will send. I have been drolling over her soaps ever since I started this soaping obsession, ehm, pardon - hobby. Knowing that in the package will arrive Mianra and one of Cocobong's very own soaps, I was already tossing & turning for days what would be the possible pro&cons for every bar, so that I can make my choice easier. Well, that simply did not work. You cannot really find anything that would say NO to these bars. Here's how the treasure box looked when we opened it.
I do not know would I be happier receiving a million Euro check than when I opened this package last night. My appologies to the readers about the photos. I tried to do my best with the lightning in the house, cause I really hate to use flash. I believe that it does not do the justice to the natural glow of these hancrafted beauties.
I did not want to damage the soaps trying to unpack them just for a to take a photo, although I was diying to open Julias PURE soap. A glance on her photo gallery you can find here.
It was a tough decision to make a definite choice. There is no chance in heaven that you can make a fair choice between these three soaps. So, I was sniffing, looking, touching, for about half an hour. Then I called for help. Well, with a help of my boyfriend, we made our final decesion - we kept Lemon Scone soap from Product Body.
My top 3 arguments were:
You can see my neglected music scores in the background. I am managing to memorize few lines of Susanna in between making, blogging, reading, researching about soap. ;)
The next big dilema was: which one from my own soaps should I send? Finally, I decided to send on my favorite soap from 2011 - Green Dew. It was my personal favorite top formulation that was available in a limited edition. I only made 6 bars and did not repeat the formula. I kept one for a special occassion. Well, it can hardly get more special than this!
I hurried to the post office today to sen off the soap package back on its world tour. I hope it will get safe & sound to the next recepient and as usual, cannot wait to hear the news!

My top 3 arguments were:
- I need to try the soap from the woman who practically invented the soaping blogosphere
- The guilty soap smells just like my favourite lemon cheescake
- It contains oatmeal, an ingredient that I have been obsessed with lately
