Marianne Rice of The North Street Bubble sent me an array of gorgeous soaps about a year ago to try and possibly review and I just loved them. I loved the way each one looked and smelled. They each had a distinct look about them, and were mindfully handcrafted and sent individually in paper bags ink stamped with the TNSB logo on them.
Sadly, I waited so very long to actually get into my shower with them. Why did I wait so very long to use them?? Have I been so consumed with my own life that I could not muster unveiling one of those suckers for my own use? Ugh, I kick myself! You know why?? Because they were pretty darn stunning soaps, I say!
I am choosing one to talk about. The prettiest one I had in the bunch. Layered with red??
O h y e a h . Two thin red lines of perfection. Absolutely stunning and that baby performed seamlessly.
This soap had huge bubbles and it felt smooth as silk on my wet skin. And it wasn't like the huge bubbles cancelled out moisturizing qualities, either. In the past, I've received soap bars that produce big, big bubbles and when I've gotten out of the shower, my skin feels like I've been shrink-wrapped in plastic and THEN, I bend and my skin feels like it cracks. Not so with Marianne's soap. I have no need for lotion afterwards, which is my telltale sign that a soap is well balanced.
Sadly after a year, her soap's scent faded and I didn't experience the BOMB smells that I initially got when I opened her package, but her soaps did not disappoint. She is spot on with her recipe and graceful artistry.
Thank you, Marianne. Sorry it took an ion to get to it. Well worth the wait. Peace out!
