I was 13 when I watched the movie Fight Club. I learned a lot from the movie. I learned that Brad Pitt has an exceptionally delicious posterior and Edward Norton has the most captivating green eyes. I also learned that bar soaps are made from combining animal fats with sodium hydroxide. Gross ...but I love soap! I love how they smell and how they leave my skin feeling so rejuvenated and so clean. And there are so many different types of soaps! Hard soaps, soft soaps, tallow based, vegetable based, glycerin based, triple milled... the possibilities are endless!
These are two of my favourite soaps and they're from Trader Joe's. (I got my beef to pick them up for me *^-^*) They're made in France from 100% vegetable oils and shea butter. They smell heavenly! The green one is Lemon Verbena and the blue-ish one in the back is Lavender. I like the lavender because it has actual flowers in it but the Lemon Verbene is my absolute favourite. The lemon scent is so strong and refreshing, it's great for the hot summers here in Kelowna. I always feel so uplifted and cheerful afterwards.
They're triple-milled soaps. Milling refers to a process of grinding, heating and cooling of the soap in a mill so that all moisture is removed and extras like fragrance, emollients, moisturizers and colourants are added. Triple-milled just means the soap mixture goes through this process 3 times. The end product is a very dense, very hard, and very long-lasting bar of soap. They're $3.99 a piece, which I admit is a little expensive for soap but they last a long time and they truly smell amazing. (:
