Do you like artisan, handmade soaps? I admit to having a serious weakness for luxurious soaps. The real stuff: none of this cheap shower gel or body wash. When I was at school and university, I used to invest my part-time job earnings into nice soaps, maximising their effectivness by putting them in my lingerie drawer. Oh, how I love the aroma of genuine essential oil soap (especially lavendar). Or of energing cinnamon scrubs, with citrus peels and the promise of making the new day fresh and exciting.
