Latherati Soap Giveaway! closed

BLOSSOM handmade soap inspired by The Secret Garden

soap inspired by literature with an awesome lather!


Remember in elementary, middle school and high school we were all required to read a whole bunch of books in English class? I'm an engineer and clearly a lover of math, but great literature is a true gift, with themes and lessons that will last us a lifetime.

Moreso, an amazing story that will inspire us... just like The Secret Garden inspired Julie of Latherati Soap to create this BLOSSOM scented soap.

The soap surely smells like a secret garden... though one that I do not want to keep a secret, and instead want to share with all of you. Not only does it smell clean and wonderful, but the lather it produces is fantastic!

Julie started making soap about 10 years ago while in North Dakota. Not a fan of cold weather, she searched for a hobby and quickly fell in love with soapmaking. She did a lot of research and learned as much as she could about the various benefits of oils, butters and additives. She has been playing in the kitchen making soap ever since!

Literature is Julie's first inspiration. She loves to read and seems to always be able to smell a story. "There's nothing like transporting yourself into the lives of the characters in books. Books always offer something...add something to your life, whether it be a moral or a new way of looking at things...ideas to ponder."

Julie's soap is different from other soaps in that she hopes to inspire passion for literature. She wants to keeping read alive and well and pass that gift along to everyone, especially all of you... well one in particular as Julie has offered one of you the chance to win two bars of handmade soap and a 4 oz. bottle of body lotion in your choice of scent!

I have been wanting to try her soap for sooo long! I don't know why I haven't just bought me some yet! :D

I would love to try the Golden Ticket soap because it sounds so delicious, and the Longbourn soap because Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books.
