Himalaya – Honey & Cream Soap

“Dessert Dreams”

As I’ve said before, even if your soap budget is pathetic and miniscule, you don’t have to settle for that bullshit grocery store soap in 24-packs—and live a joyless soap existence. I mean, maybe you don’t use soap at all, in which case I respect that. But if you want to have a little fun, and not break into your kids’ drug money, this soap, or soap like this, is available at your local Indian grocery store—and this one, say, cost me $1.89. So, your town doesn’t have an Indian grocery store—go to the next town over—and enough with the excuses. Sure, there are some chemical-y bullshit ingredients in this one, but no worse than that grocery store soap. The ingredients also include: Glycerin (nice), Flavour (what-the-hell), milk and honey. It’s a nice, solid, long-lasting, pleasant smelling, effective, and fun bar of soap. It does smell like honey, too, though I’ve got to admit, the fragrance pales a bit next to this “Coconut & Honey” shampoo I happen to have right now, from Whole Foods, where they kind of hit a home run with the honey fragrance—so intense that it might be a little much for some people—in which case they’d love this soap. It strikes me a little weird, putting honey in soap and shampoo—though I guess not as weird as bacon, kohlrabi, and ranch dressing.
