artsy soap – (photo challenge)

Posted on by Prior...

 

My oldest son and I were at our local Whole Foods store the other night – and when I looked down, I realized that the homemade soaps not only smelled wonderful – but they also had vibrant colors and swirls that were SO ARTSY!

And then looking up – on the way out – the row of hanging lights had a bit of charm as well.

  1. Soaps? Wow. Fooled me! When I first looked at that top picture, I thought I was looking at a display of fudge chunks. I remember small shops at beach resort areas along the east coast shores. These places specialized in all varieties and favors of fudge…chocolate, caramel, strawberry…and would have chunks displayed under a glass counter. Some also sold salt water taffy. Yum. I was sure that’s what your picture was of until I started reading your post.

    Well, it’s only 5:20 a.m. where I am. Too early for my eyes to properly focus. And of course I couldn’t smell the soaps. I’d prefer the aroma of fudge, I think.

    1. Thanks for the comment Mr. Doobs! and well, I totally see how it looks like fudge as well – especially the colors of the top row – and I like how you describe the homemade stuff sitting under the glass – and I can imagine some warm batches begin tossed on a marble slab

      I also prefer to smell of homemade fudge – even though there is one soap that I think has one of the best smells around – it is one from Indigo Wild and it is a simple goat milk soap with FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH –
      and guess what? it is also looks like fudge…. I will post a photo later to show ya.
      have a great day – oh… and keep us posted if anyone out your back door invites you over for a cookout one of these days. O_o 🙂

    1. hi – well my son and I actually split up – he was looking for a specific item on his list and we ran to the store an hour before they closed. I ended up talking to some people near the chilled probiotics- lol – my son and I met up later and then we enjoyed a quiet drive home with some light snow coming down – so it was just a little down time going to and from the store together.
      thanks for asking. 🙂

  6. That frankincense and myrrh soap sounds scrumptious. They are all so unique and beautiful. I like the lights as well… up and down in one trip! Perfect.

  8. What pretty soaps! I tried to make lavender soap once but the little bits of lavender I floated through the bars looked like dead bugs… not appealing at all. 😉

    1. haha ha – was laughing pretty hard with this – and I bet the soap smelled amazing even though it looks like bugs! so funny – and you are so right – not very appealing…. but at least you tried….
      and lavender is SO amazing for calming the body – like a veda offers a travel size calming oil that has saved me on trips (like if visiting stinky places)
      but I also grow lavender – in a pot – because it always dies in the ground – and just rubbing some between the fingers has taken away a headache at times – 🙂
      thanks for the visit and for sharing about your soap specs… 🙂

  9. I think I will go with the first word I came up with: “radical”, and add the word “beautiful”, and then add an exclamation mark … ! Great offering, this post. Keep going. Thanks for your good, good, words of life you pass on to me. Peace, T

    1. wel thanks for asking – 🙂 and it is an all-time family favorite – now I am not sure if all frankincense and myrrh scents are the same, but the INDIGO WILD one is the best.

      we discovered it one year when I was buying some of their “travel kits” from lucky vitamin (an online store that used to have the greatest prices around). and well, just by chance I tossed in the frankincense and myrrh travel bag into the shopping cart and it came with little goodies – like 2 mini “sum bar” soaps – a mini oil, a shea butter – and the BEST part – a little spray bottle that lasts forever – and works powerful for bathrooms. lol
      but whole foods sometimes carries these products if you want to check out the scent ahead of time – and here is the main link:
