Organik Botanik – Lavender & Manuka Honey

“Antarctica”

I’m re-reading Harriet the Spy, forgot the part where her mom threatened to “wash her mouth out with soap” because she said, “I’ll be damned…” Which cracked me up because I heard Christopher Walken, in Pulp Fiction, his little story about the watch. They used to do that, wash your mouth out with soap, and I can attest to that because I was there. (Ivory… it sucked.) With this soap, however, it might backfire, as it sounds like something you’d gently spread on a scone. I feel like I’ve made this exact same joke, in the same way, but alas, after 234 soap reviews, some repetition is to be expected. At any rate, this is a lovely smelling soap that came in a three soap box-set, from “Down Under” (TJ Maxx), three flavors coupled with Manuka Honey—not sure if that’s a thing? Or not—though I’m reasonably certain there’s a band with that name. Lavender is nice. When it first occurred to me to expand my horizons past grocery store bars of Dial and Dove, it was a lavender soap that inspired me (that French one that you can’t seem to find anymore). The color is equally as lovely—light purple and white, in chaotic stripes, looking like the petals of a flower. Bon appétit!
