If I had infinite amount of time and dedication, I would attempt to make my own homemade soap. I actually borrowed a couple of books from the local library and researched the process (I even got to the point in which I bought a double boiler on sale ---- .... apparently a double boiler is necessary for making your own soap). Atlas, the double boiler is collecting dust (I might resurrect it for my cooking attempts). The reality is,.. I do not have the time or energy to attempt making my own soap, so I enjoy purchasing home made organic soaps from boutique shops.
I have tried the Fresh Meadow soap from www.truly-life.com. The soap crumbles a little bit when you use it in the shower, so I savaged it by placing it in a plastic container (I actually squish the soap back together, sort of like how my kids play with Play-Dough). Despite the little bits of crumbs that I left behind, I really enjoyed the fresh clean scent of the soap. I also wind up using a lot less water since organic soaps do not create as much suds as traditional soaps. This boutique shop offers a number of different handmade eco-friendly soaps, lotion bars and perfumes. The items are all handmade and 100% organic. The soaps come in parchment paper like wrapping and brown paper wrapping. They are a Virginia based company that delivers their products to local clients via bicycle. (Talk about practicing what they preach).
For more information about their handmade organic products, please visit www.truly-life.com. Hurry and visit their website, they are offering FREE samples of their product as long as you sign up for it before February 14th (a great free treat for yourself).
As I continue on my eco-friendly journey, I am learning more each day about how so many wonderful individuals are all trying their best to keep their businesses profitable while "doing the right thing" for the environment. I get so excited just learning about these individuals.
The eco-friendly community is growing and I'm glad to be a part of it.
