I've recently gotten into Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps. Dr. Emmanuel Bronner was a crazy revolutionary/master soap maker/Jewish German. His bio is fascinating.
I didn't know before what soap really even was, and I could not understand how the Dr. Bronner's soaps were made with simply natural oils, so I did a little research. Here, on the website is a great explanation. Honestly, after learning about it, I don't know how soap could get any better than this.

Also, here's a video about their recent effort to get all of the olive oil they use in their soaps from organic & fair trade sources in the Holy Land.

My roommate and I both use Dr. Bronner's! I've been using the Tea Tree Oil for a while, but recently discovered my love for Peppermint. Which is your favorite?
crazy! that's exactly my story: i started w/ tea tree oil and now i'm using peppermint.
i still have a little bottle of the tea tree oil soap by the sink that i use for face washing (as tea tree oil is a great natural cure for breakouts). i love using the peppermint for morning showers, though. it truly "creates an exhilarating tingly-cool body space and increases vitality and clarity".
Weird, I definately feel, while it might be neutral to the earth, that dr. bronner's is just sooooo weak. doesn't seem to get many jobs done. . . :(
what kind of jobs are you referring to?
I just used the peppermint on my face this morning.
Delish!
I need to try the tea tree oil though.
Does Faith work on Wednesdays? I was thinking we should make appointments with her if possible for makeup on the 3rd!
YES. let's. do you want to call, or should i?
would you? I can't find her card now. Whenever you think is good.
well, it gets all of MY jobs done, so I'll stick with it.
are you a liquid or bar user?
i use both, but think i prefer bar tea tree oil and liquid peppermint.
the clarity and vitality i've been experiencing is truly unbelievable.
LOL.
yes. truly.
i'm actually the opposite right now: bar peppermint and liquid tea tree oil.
I have been using the peppermint on my face and it has been clearing up quite nicely. I bet the tea tree oil works even better but the peppermint makes me all tingly!
