Aromalicious

You know what was the highlight of my weekend? Getting my homemade soap from Leslie! She started making soap a few months ago and I was just waiting for her to put it on the market. Better than that she made each item custom scented for me. I soaked my weary nursery painting muscles in Mandarin Mango fizzing bath salts Sat. night. And the shea butter is exactly what my dry pregnant lady skin needed. I also got bath bombs and oatmeal milk bath. Tomorrow morning I debut her all vegan Orange essence soap in my shower. I expect it might sound like an "Her*bal Essences" commercial in there. Ah, the little things.
