A Soapy Crush



I've been testing soaps for years trying to find one that's healthy, glycerin-rich and nourishing. I would get coupons for Dove or Dial and try whatever promised to make my skin feel soft and happy. They never did very much and sometimes had the adverse effect. I recently gave up my local Target soap-aisle for a fragrant little booth at a market in our nearby neighborhood of Fremont. This market, only active on Sunday, is one of my favorite weekend stops. We can bring the dog, snack at the various food vendors, stock up on fresh honey and produce, and best of all...shop for soaps! The booth I love is Trad Hus and their soap is AMAZING! I've tried the "Spiced Honey & Oats" and "Peppermint" but am very excited to break out the "Mint Chocolate" this week! I'll probably pick up a few bars this weekend as well. I love how they make my skin feel and I've even used some to cleanse my hair. I usually have to moisturize after showering to avoid dry skin but not anymore! I'm so in love with these soaps PLUS they make my bathroom smell heavenly!!

You can purchase their soaps online as well at www.TradeHus.com

The pictures on the site aren't very true to color or texture. Their soaps are really beautiful! They all contain Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Neem Oil, organic Oat Milk and Aloe Vera. This soap is like magic and I can't believe it took me so long to start using handmade soap!
