We stopped for a frozen yogurt and popped into a few shops. We didn't stop here:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c_fIunUpgrU/S0pjqD9uRyI/AAAAAAAAACU/Enjzd8CbSKU/s1600-h/IMG_1603_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c_fIunUpgrU/S0pjqD9uRyI/AAAAAAAAACU/Enjzd8CbSKU/s320/IMG_1603_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425258275391031074" border="0" /></a>... not that it wasn't tempting!

Soap is really a salt which already makes it too much chemistry for me!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c_fIunUpgrU/S0YgiWzZe1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gfr61PhH5fg/s1600-h/IMG_1565_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 177px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c_fIunUpgrU/S0YgiWzZe1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gfr61PhH5fg/s320/IMG_1565_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424058575823141714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Humboldt Herbal Soap: made with nourishing Hemp Oil grown organically in Canada.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The art of soap lies in combing various oils in different proportions to produce a soap with the qualities you want: bubbly or foamy lather? Lots of lather or more moisturizing oils? Thick oils like shea butter or astringent hazelnut oil? Then you can add color, pumice, and fragrance - the possibilities are endless!<br /><br />What soap is not: Soap is not the detergent bars you find in stores. Those bars (notice they are called "moisturizing bars" or "beauty bars") are made of detergents from which the naturally occurring glycerin has been removed. This glycerin is then used to make the moisturizers the retailer will gladly sell to you in the form of lotions on the next aisle.<br /><br />Try some handmade soap today. I think you'll be glad you did!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8708184403304427030-7534413764344895990?l=coronadosoap.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Coronado Soap Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06589834683058700613noreply@blogger.com0
