"....Soap Duds"

As you know, there are always soaps in my shower that aren't ones I've made. I am always trying out 6 bars at a time, and of course, my husband just has to deal with whatever is in there. I try, as he's requested, to keep patchouli, sandalwood and lavender out of the bathroom all together, but still, his complaints persist periodically with the bars that arrive in his bathing haven. The man showers at least two times a day, so his showering experience is very important to him.

The last soap I stuck in there prompted a blog post on his blog that I think you'll appreciate, to say the least.

;)

That is, if you want a giggle....

The Tax Man Soap by Soap Scentsations

We love their description:

"The Tax Man Soap. Packed with Pork, Promised to Stimulate. Available only until we use it elsewhere. $$$$$$$$ He comes dressed in sleek black, wielding his money saving tips, taunting me with his refunds, child tax credits, and 1st time home buyer tax breaks. But he's crafty, sneaky in his unperfumed ways-dipping into my paycheck, passing it along to Uncle Sam who promises to stimulate only to spend it on pork. This bar is brought to you as our own little stimulus package. No hidden pork, we tell you it's there! And at a low price even your overstimulated pockets can handle it! Go ahead come clean, find the loose change rattling in your purse...you'll find you really can love the Tax Man! And as an added bonus, for US buyers ONLY....Free Shipping on this bar only. Cause we care!"

Tickles my funny bone, that tax man. :)

I reviewed their soaps here. Nate and Jen Whaley are a married couple who have a great sense of soap and humor. See their video and check out their new shaving "kit".

Elevator Etiquette - A Must Read If You Live Or Have Ever Lived In NYC

One of the blogs I read having nothing to do with soap is I'm Quietly Judging You.

Yesterday, she posted a detailed list of elevator etiquette - a list I wish all people in NY followed, because it really is a gross experience most of the time. I know it so well. She hit every single one of my pet peeves about NYC elevators. If you haven't lived there then you might not understand her frustrations with people. I am right next to her on this one.

Enjoy your reading.... ;)
