Yesterday morning, Isaac, my nephew, ate half of my blueberry soap. Don’t worry ‘it was vegan’ as he pointed out to my neighbor, the doctor who wrenched him from the clutches of death.

The incident left me down one bar so I headed over to Etsy, my favorite site for homemade goods, to rectify the situation.

Bad idea! Etsy + Amex + Tracy = TROUBLE!

I didn’t spend too much. I actually spent more replenishing the guy’s bathrooms than I did on my own. Rocky Top Soap Shop is their go-to because of their sensitive skin…manly sensitive, mind you. I have to admit, I like their products. Handcrafted by a really nice guy in Maine, the charcoal soap leaves my skin silky smooth.


This $20 for a set of 4 'Manly Man Soap Set' is an excellent value.


Anyway, back to my finds.

 I stumbled upon Sunlit Soaps and their yummy Apples a la Mode soap. I'm weak---the pretty picture lured me away from my usual haunt. It looks good enough to eat, doesn’t it?








I also picked up Sunlit Beach for me and Black Tie for the guys.



Next I hit Inner Earth Soaps. Heads up: This is an Aussie shop so shipping and handling is expensive. I paid nearly sixty bucks for three items. They have a $10 Sampler Pack however the S&H is $18.89. See what I mean? Hopefully I’ll have excellent reviews for you.

I ordered Pomegranate Soap and Lemon Meringue Cake. Cute huh?



These are my purchases…have a look at the shops and keep an eye out for the reviews. Thanks to Cali, I’m hosting a give-away. Please make a note of your two favorite products. :)
