Chock Full Of Soaps and Some Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

As I walked in the door tonight, Kerry says: "You've got a package from Nancy Z."... What?? for me? I wasn't expecting anything.

I rushed past everyone and ripped the box open to see what's in the box lol, out came not 1, not 4 but SEVEN full size bars of wonderfully scented handmade cold processed soaps and some samples of her other scents!!! It was like Xmas in June hehee I LOVEEED them, the colors are eye catching and the scents are fresh and yummy, I can't wait to use them.

Here's a list of what I received from Nancy Z. of The Enchanted Bath, located in Godfrey Illinois:

• Carrot Calendula
• Blue Skye
• Lavender Dream
• Tea Tree
• Irish Rose
• Black Raspberry
• White Ginger Tea
• Loofa embedded pink soap
• Rosemary
• Spearmint Lavender

When we met up with Nancy and Bill back in April at the HSMG 4-day conference, we had the pleasure to get to know them and guess what? their hotel room was right next door to ours!! They are such sweet people, gave us a guided tour of St. Louis, MO! Who can visit St. Louis and not have any Ted Drewes frozen custard?? Are you kidding me? of course Nancy took us, they were so so tempting and delicious! I had the Cardinal Sin... the freshest frozen custard I have ever had! They have an off-duty police officer directing traffic in and out of the parking lot AND the lines to get a piece of St. Louis experience was like waiting in line for an amusement park ride! It was some crazy hang out, I love it lol! We also went to the Arch, but I broke my camera and the flash is not working :(. I don't have any arch pictures to post, but I did manage to take these pictures without flash! It was around 11:00 pm when we made it to Ted Drewes and the place was hopping with people!

Thanks Nancy for spoiling us to pieces, I love surprises! I will even share the soaps with Kerry lol.

Ostrich & Emu Oil Soap, Fabo!

Sandy F. from Nebraska Sunset Soap sent me a bar of Emu Oil & Buttermailk Powder Soap for sensitive skin, scented with Lavender Vanilla & Gardenia and

Ilene S. from The Michigan Country Soapworks sent me a bar of Ostrich & Emu Oil Soap (unscented & uncolored)

This is after I posted a message asking about the difference in a bar of soap with the emu oil added. After finishing my current soap in the shower, I couldn't wait to dive into using one of these, let me tell you... wow, what a difference!!!

Whenever my customers ask me what applications our emu oil are ideal for, I ALWAYS recommend that they use the emu oil in a leave-on product such as lotion, cream, lip balm etc but not in soaps because after all you are washing the soap off after just a few minutes of lathering to take full advantage of emu oil's benefits. To give these soaps a fair review, I used them exclusively for a week each and the difference is amazing. My soap is already moisturizing, but after trying these soaps I have to say... I just might have to re-formulate my recipe and add 15% of emu oil to the luxury line!

Thank you ladies for the fabulous soaps, they are truly moisturizing and felt like silk on my skin!! You ladies have just sold me over to add emu oil to my recipe ;-) Oh, I have to order a bar from Patti to try as well. I just haven't had time to place my order yet :)... We went up to Wisconsin Dells last weekend, I will post more about it in another thread with pictures! We had so much fun!! For those looking for good quality emu oil soaps, I highly recommend checking out Sandy and Ilene's!

Anyway, in case you are wondering about the benefits and properities of emu oil, here are some of them!
