<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this idea somewhere on the web and thought this would be a great idea for Father’s Day … or any day. Soap Rocks are cut when the soap is still quite soft and moulded to shapes similar to rocks. A bit more labour intensive, but fun to make! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Made with olive oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, castor oil and cocoa butter. The fragrance is blue man and the colour is from activated charcoal powder and soap safe mica.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charcoal is a natural body deodoriser, that removes excess oils and impurities from the skin. It has the drawing power to remove toxins from deep tissues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fragrance is 'blue man' - the base note of patchouli blends perfectly with orange, coriander and star anise. It's surprisingly sweet and majorly masculine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The package arrived … *<em>insert</em>* excited singing and excited dancing!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Soap Travel was started by Julia over at </span><a href="http://cocobongsoaps.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cocobong</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, when three different soaps were put in a special box. This box is now travelling from soaper to soaper, country to country and at each stop the receiving soaper gets to choose one soap to keep and replaces it with one of their treasures. Next you get an address from Julia … and send the box on it’s way to the next soaper.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The box arrived at my place in South Australia with soap from – Jennifer (Spain) of </span><a href="http://jenorasoaps.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/soap-travel-arrived.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Jenora Soaps</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, Swanee (France) of </span><a href="http://byswanee.blogspot.fr/2012/05/la-soap-travels-box-est-la.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By Swanee</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and Das Seifenhaus (Germany) of </span><a href="http://seifenhaus.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/soap-travel-around-world.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Das Seifenhaus</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">.</span><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v497/dragonkaz/Soap/?action=view&current=c6858fa0.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="c6858fa0, Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/dragonkaz/Soap/c6858fa0.jpg" width="264" /></a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They all smelled divine and sounded amazing … how to choose? Decided to go to bed and check it again tomorrow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's tomorrow and I've finally decided … </span><a href="http://seifenhaus.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/calendulamilch.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Das Seifenhaus’ Calendula Milk</strong>,</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> why? Good question … I think to start with I was enjoying the wrapping. Reminds me of the homemade paper I used to make with petals and leaves in the mix. I also love that this soap doesn’t have palm oil in it! The smell is gentle, citrus, fresh and divine … and I’ve never used cows’ milk or calendula petals … so they added even more sounded interest for me.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I decided to replace Calendula Milk one of my newest goats’ milk soaps – <a href="http://karenkiwi.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/goats-milk-lime-patchouli.html">Lime Patchouli</a>. I love the aroma and look of this soap. I hope it has a great journey and that another soaper enjoys this treasure!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To begin with I made only vegan soap, but recently I decided to add a small selection of soap with goats milk. I had researched this well, but was still surprised to see how the soap batter changed colour as it gelled in the moulds. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This soap is made with olive oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, cocoa butter and local fresh South Australian goats’ milk. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These photos show the freshly poured goats milk soap ... and some photos as it progressed through the gelling process.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love reading the blogs listed on the right hand side of my page.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yesterday I was reading </span><a href="http://jenorasoaps.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jenora Soaps blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, and read that she had received the Soap Package that was started on it’s world travel by Julia at </span><a href="http://cocobongsoaps.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cocobong Soaps</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> back in November 2011.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The idea is that a small package with three soaps in it will travel from one soaper to another and at each destination the receiver gets to choose one of the treasures in the parcel and replace it with a piece of their own work, then Julia will give you the next address and you send the parcel on it’s way again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not sure how many people are involved, but at one stage there were 19 registered, but I'm sure there's more now and it was expected to take 266 days for everyone to receive the package once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I think this is a fabulous way to share soap around the world.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At the bottom of Jen’s post I read ... <strong>T</strong><em><strong>he next destination the Soap Travel Package is off to is to Karen Hill in Australia.</strong> </em>Oh Wow! Am I excited or what? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now I'm counting the days until this package comes to me and I get to choose a soap and replace it with one of mine. Looking at Cocobong Soaps blog, I will be the 12th person to receive this special package. Oh Wow!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Swapping soaps is one of my mostest favourite things to do!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I received a note in my letterbox yesterday to say there was a parcel for me at the post office. I got really excited, as the only parcel I was expecting was from <a href="http://www.dpurarte.blogspot.com.es/">Puri</a>, who I swapped soap with in Spain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last month I wrote about the international soap swap organised by </span><a href="http://soapartists.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/intercambio-internacional-international.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Soap Artists</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and how lucky I'd been to be paired with </span><a href="http://www.dpurarte.blogspot.com.es/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Puri</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> from Spain. Today I received an email from Puri to tell me she had received my soap and written and entry in her blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Puri's email</strong> - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #674ea7;">Hi Karen, who hope to have your soaps, I loved.</span></em></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;">A big hug and see you soon Puri</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm so happy that I can read the excitement in Puri's email! On her </span><a href="http://www.dpurarte.blogspot.com.es/2012/03/ya-estan-aqui-desde-australia.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>blog</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Puri has included two beautifully taken photos and more wonderfully kind words!</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">They're here from ... Australia</span></span></em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">With great enthusiasm I opened the package sent from Australia to soaps Karen, my friend the international exchange organized by Julia of "Soaps Artists". Congratulations Julia for the wonderful organization and dissemination of the world of natural soaps.</span></span></em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Karen has given me a lot of varied colors and shapes of wonderful soaps and soap samples. They smell great, are beautifully designed and very smooth texture.What a shame to use them, but experience so pleasant.</span></em></div>
<em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Karen thank you very much for your wonderful soaps.</span></em></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am so excited to know that Puri's soap is on it's way to me ... and I hope I can make a great blog entry like Puri has!</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My advice to anyone reading this ... if you get the opportunity to be involved in a soap swap ... especially an international one ... do it! It cost $30 to send my soap to Spain ... but the reward is <strong><span style="font-size: large;">priceless</span></strong>!</span></div>

</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This soap is a beautiful mix of sweet, silky and mouth watering flavours.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've sent <a href="http://dpurarte.blogspot.com.au/">Puri</a> an email and now we have to decide on what we'll be swapping.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I plan to put photos on here and detail this process.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Exciting times ahead!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">PS ... I can't find a translation button on <a href="http://dpurarte.blogspot.com.au/">Puri's</a> blog, so I'm not sure where Puri is from or any other details ... but the soap pictures on the blog are outstanding!</span>Dragon (Karen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03836941136990832257noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13721906.post-40502895323252629002012-02-23T00:57:00.001+10:302012-02-23T00:57:20.666+10:30International Soap Swap<div style="text-align: justify;">
