Cor Silver Soap

Silver isn’t just for jewelry. Cor silver soap uses real particles of silver to prevent breakouts as well as replenish lost moisture and smooth uneven skin tones. It’s a fabulous one-step facial cleanser that uses the antibacterial properties of silver along with other natural ingredients to leave your skin looking and feeling beautiful.

In addition to the cleanser, Cor also offers a line of other complementary products – moisturizer, wrinkle serum and eye cream.

Though the Cor products don’t come cheap, they last a long time. For example, their silver soap is priced at $125 but is designed to last 6-9 months. If you aren’t sold on the products, you can buy a sample soap for $14 that will last two weeks.

To learn more about Cor and the power of silver, visit their website at corsilver.com.

Bar Soap a Go-Go

Here’s a great article over at Planet Green about what to look for in soaps and why it pays to make your own soap. It’s no secret that I loves me some soaps. Etsy, The Bubble Roome, LUSH, etc., it just makes me v. happy. I just simply don’t have the time or energy to make my own soap. I make most of my own household cleaning supplies and baby butt cleaning agents and there just isn’t more time in my day. Heck, there’s barely enough time in my day to actually shower so when I do I want a transcendent experience. Dove is just not going to take me there…sorry. What say you? What’s your favorite soap. The one that wakes you up for the day or winds you down after a grueling week. Dish please.

Not Your Mother’s Natural Soap Bar

“Like angels crying on your tongue”. That is how my friend describes the cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC. Biting into one of these confectionery creations is an experience in and of itself. Everyone should experience it at least once in your life and once you do you will be forever changed. I feel the same way about LUSH’s Honey I Washed the Kids soap.

First of all if you have never been into a LUSH store, you must go…now. It’s filled with piles of freshly( and of course naturally) made soaps, balms, butters and whatever else your little heart could desire. They even have vegan soaps and lotions. My first trip was to the Toronto location on my honeymoon. I don’t know if it was the whole “no love is as great as our love” wedding afterglow, but I was overwhelmed. Walking into this store is a full sensory experience. Then I smelled this soap and I knew I had to have it. You too will not be disappointed. It looks like a honeycomb on top of a big block of butter and smells like honey and toffee with a touch of bergamot and orange. It smells so good you may seriously want to eat it. DISCLAIMER: Please do not eat the soap. True, it is made with natural, organic and non-synthetic ingredients, but it is not food.

Once you use this soap, in the warm shower…oh my. The experience is transcendent. It leaves your skin with this silky glow and every time you catch a whiff of it throughout the day, you will get an inexplicable craving for a sugar cookie. Oh and did I mention, all of their products have a “made by” sticker that tells you who made it and when. How’s that for fresh? Perhaps one of the best draws to LUSH is that you can decide how much you want to take home. They will chop off as little or as much as you want of their soaps. So if I’m wrong and it doesn’t change your life, you didn’t lose much. However, I’m not wrong, so get a big hunk of natural loveliness and get to washing.

Have I Mentioned Sabon?

I know I spoke about the Rose Soap, but the body scrub and the body oil are to die for. Most of Sabon’s products don’t use synthetic or you-know-what kind of oils and they smell divine and work like a charm.
