The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 January 2018 Leave a Comment

From Floris London, Rose Geranium Luxury Soap: "The characteristic notes of geranium are enhanced by fresh citrus nuances and a hint of rose. A simple woody base note accord of cedarwood is all that is needed to complete this clean cut classic. Finely fragranced signature soaps, hand wrapped and triple milled with a vegetable base producing a rich creamy lather and containing added shea butter to help moisturise the skin. These traditional soaps are embossed with a Floris design dating back to the 1800s." $45 for three 100g soaps at Floris, or you can find them a little cheaper at Amazon.

A lemming for Color My World Friday: FinchBerry's Sweetly Southern bar soap. "Let this soap roll you back to the low mists of early summer and the scent of 100% wild honeysuckle. While lathering with Sweetly Southern, you’ll notice an array of textures, from the soap’s satin-soft marbling of petal-pinks and greens, to its freckling of tiny sugar pearls on a faint frosting of cool-blue glitter. Each nicety extends otherwise-fleeting moments of calm, and secures a truly romantic, sultry fragrance to kissably-soft skin." Sold by the slice, $9 at FinchBerry.
