Yesterday was a good day. It was a day to spend a ton of cash on Christmas presents. I'm having a blast shopping this year, a few gifts at a time and I'm bound to find everything I want. I love seeing the kids open their gifts and get excited about what's inside. It really makes me feel great about the season. I can't wait to get out the decorations, but I'll hold off until the first of December, I promise.
Anyway, when we got home we ordered a pizza and I started photographing the soaps that are going to be ready in about a week - I actually got further than I'd planned because I was able to get them all up on the website already.

Today's soap feature: Black & Tan Beer Soap - made with Guinness Draught
Why beer? It actually adds nicely to the lather of the soap - making it very creamy and nice feeling. The Guinness gives the soap a warm, earthy fragrance and I helped that out a bit by adding a complimentary scent, but just a touch. Besides, if you can't drink it all day long, you may as well bathe with it, its a great gift idea for the Irish, guys, beer lovers or Irish Guy Guinness lovers.
