My Chart Recipe Blog
~All AL'ers welcome~
I find the loofah/liquid soap combo easier to deal with than soap bars and wash cloths. You never seem to get as good of a lather. And I don't dig using the soap direct to body like DH does. But I don't use the frilly stuff. I'd love to, but they're just not good for me.
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
I always feel like bar soap makes my skin so dry. Normally I just use Dove or Oil of Olay body wash but I've been going through leftover bath and body works stuff for a month or so. Some of the scents are so overpowering though, I prefer the "clean soap" smelling ones.
