A clean start to the new year

A clean start to the new year
We have a tradition of visiting friends and family on January 1 - now that we have kids. And we're not quite so hungover that day. For a New Year's gift, I love the idea of grabbing one of the natural, small batch handmade Soaptopia gift boxes, especially when they contain the new Piece of Peace soap. The name itself delivers just the right message for the New Year. But the soap itself is a delight - a not too smelly, not too girlie blend of rosemary and rose geranium oil with an exfoliating strip of quartz sand from Lake Tahoe. Or as we call them at home - flavor crystals.

Grab that one and another favorite (I like Sage Against the Machine) in a Double Bubble gift box, and help a friend get a clean start to the new year. Heh. -Liz

Save 15% off on all Soaptopia products through December 31st with the code MOMSMELLSCOOL at Soaptopia.com.

Congratulations to Mollie S., and Theresa K., lucky winners of gift boxes from Soaptopia!
