I love soap!  Ever since I worked at a fabulous store in Toronto called Teatro Verde I have become addicted to the brand Fresh!  It's an amazing company out of Boston that makes wonderful bath and body products, fragrances and chic cosmetics.  With awesome scents like Sugar Lemon (my fave) and Hesperides, it's not hard to become a fan. Besides the luscious fragrances, the soap is made with vegetable glycerine and shea butter so it leaves your skin enviably soft and smooth. Trust me...The Daddy is addicted too and will let me know if his bar is running low.  

 At first glance you might gasp at the price..$16 for a bar of soap is not for the faint of pocketbook. I can attest to the fact that if you take care of your hard-milled bar...it can last for two months!!!  How do "take care" of soap you ask???  Just let it dry out in between uses in good soap dish that drains the bar. Don't let your soap sit in wetness and get gooey! That is a waste of soap.

Fresh is available in Toronto at Teatro Verde in Hazelton Lanes or Bayview Village  www.teatroverde.com, or at Sephora. You can also order it on-line from Beautymark at www.beautymark.ca.

If the thought of spending $16 on soap makes you roll your eyes...then no worries...I have a great alternative.  Dove Beauty Body Wash is amazing! For $4.69 you get a hydrating gel body wash with invigorating beads that freshen the skin.  My favourite scent is the Grapefruit and Lemongrass because I love citrus, but it also comes in Waterlily and Fresh Mint and Cucumber and Green Tea.

We're all familiar with the Dove Campaign For Real Beauty so this product is also great because a portion of the purchase goes to the Dove Self-Esteem Fund which supports and promotes a wider definition of beauty!  We love that!

Dove Beauty Body Wash is available at Shoppers Drug Mart or where your favourite Dove products are sold.

This product (Dove Beauty Body Wash) was just released in OZ this week. I know that if my Sis recommends it...it's worth trying as she tries everything!! She's always been my own personal test market and coming from someone who's a Business Analyst in the Client Satisfaction relhm I couldn't have a better source (and she's given me Fresh Soap as a prezzie too! Loved the Leamongrass sent)
