Chocolate Yummy-Delicious Soap Porn

I love chocolate and I love soap. Today I was working with chocolate so it was on my brain aaaaaallllllll day. So of course chocolate soap porn was the topic for the evening :D

Enjoy it as much as I did!

1984 Clove, Chocolate Coffee and Leather by Love and Lyes Soap Co.
"Spicy hints of clove in real black coffee, spilled on a background of rustic leather, topped with a layer of rich, decadent chocolate- just what your fascist government ordered!"
I absolutely LOVE the darkness and density of this fudge-like slab of this soap!



Box of Chocolate Bon Bons by Feto Soap
Six bon bon soaps per box.



Cocoa Buzz by Relic Soap Company
"We cook with a lot of garlic at our house. We love the taste but not necessarily the smell it leaves on our hands. As you may already know, coffee is terrific at neutralizing bad odors. We triple brew espresso (the spoon can nearly stand up!) and toss in a handful or two of the grounds for a deodorizing and scrubby kitchen bar. All good cooks enjoy a garnish.
We were compelled to tops things off with a cocoa absolute drizzle.
"



Peanut Butter Cup & Organic Chocolate Soap by Little Batch
"There is no added fragrance in this soap... just the mild natural scent of the peanut butter and cocoa."



"Chocolate Orange Cocoa Soap: Sweet, ripe orange marbled with creamy vanilla and a hint of sandalwood,
cloaked in rich black chocolate."



The Morbid The Merrier products will be next up for soap and other sundries being reviewed by me. It may take me a week to get the full review up, but I have quite a few items to finish testing. I will try to fill your days with bubbly porn to keep your eyes filled with joy, love and art in the meantime.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!

Nahia Creations - Chocolate Espresso Soap


Chocolate Espresso Soap by Nahia Creations.

Before the Yummiest Soap Contest, Shelley of Nahia sent me multiple bars of soap to enter into the contest. What a gorgeous surprise! I think out of all the soaps that I have recieved ad reviewed, Shelley's soaps were the most beautifully packaged. The glossy thick box was printed with their woman's face logo and comapny name in a gorgeous font. It was made specifically for the shape of the bar or the soap was made to fit the box...either way the presentation was superb, professional looking and truly memorable. Each soap was stamped with the face and sat nicely in its bed of glossy boxedness.

The first thing I noticed was that the bars of soap were a chunky shape, not the typical soap bar shape. More cube-like in nature. Out of the array of scents that she mailed to me, I immediaatey chose the Chocolate Espresso, for obvious reasons.

The smell was mild and not at all overwhelming or intoxicating. However, I was hoping for a kick in the pants for my morning shower ritual with that name, but this soap delivered a powerful cleaning and bubbling experience and my shower was wonderful. My only issue was the shape of the soap for no other reason than it was hard to hold onto. I loved the way the shape looked and felt, but when I woud rub, slide or manipulate it, it wanted to jump away from me. Could totally be my hands and what I am used to or the shape and my hands not melding in harmony. Who knows?

All in all, Nahia Creations soap is great and everyone should check them out. If not for yourself, you should purchase a soap as a gift, becasue not all soaps are all ready to give without wrapping paper. Shelley's soaps were a real treat and continue to be a daily surprise for me in my shower and at my bathroom sink.

Thank you for your soaps, Shelley. I truly cherish them every day!!

Review: Lote Tree Chocolate Cake Soap

The Lote Tree. One of the best bars I have tested so far. Let's put the scent aside for a moment and look at the bar. Nice soap stamp. I love the whole soap stamp thing and I'll tell you why it is a good marketing idea. Once I am in the shower and I have used the soap a few times, the name has been winking at me all week, yeah? ...when it gets time to wanting another, I think, "who made that bar?". If you are faced with the stamp for a few days, you are more likely to remember the soap-maker. So stamps are not just beautiful if they are done right, they also make a good selling tool, so your hard work gets remembered.

OK, back to the bar. I get in the shower, as I do every morning, and I take my chocolate cake with me which has been sitting there waiting for me to try it. She was-a-calling on Halloween, so I say (out loud, no less), "Lote, come with me!" I get in, get wet, and when the bar touches my skin ... BOOM, it instantly is lathering, the foam encompassing my body as I rub rub a dub. Great, big lather.

I couldn't place the scent, though. It was chocolate-y but not quite like chocolate cake. I sniff, I lather some more and then it hits me especially now that the candy season of trick-or-treating is upon us. It smells like a big fat Tootsie Roll!

The best part: it has exfoliating bits (exfoliating coffee grounds) throughout the whole bar for a truely invigorating experience.

So Halloween morning I lather with the yummiest soap filled with Tootsie Roll power and instantly I am in the spirit of the Day Of The Dead. Lote, oh yummy bar, you are so sweet! This one gets a thumbs up. Go to Jessie's Etsy shop and shop.
