Back from the Dead
Imagine that you have not eaten real food for days and the sight of a glass of water makes you nauseous. You would be where I have been this week. After clutching the toilet for dear life and wishing I could just rip out my intestines and put them in a drawer for a little bit, I have emerged into the light of day. Being able to stand upright is a beautiful thing. Enough of my pity party. Luckily when I was at my lowest point, my day was brightened by a lovely box of goodies from Saffron Rouge. Even when I’m feeling awful, I don’t have to look awful. As my mother would say, “Well at least you look pretty!”
This time I got the Oatmeal with Italian Bergamont soap from Pangea Organics. I definitely needed to wash the sickies away and smooth my skin in the process. The smell is super strong at first, almost too strong for me but it seemed to mellow pretty quickly once I was out of the shower. Since I have such sensitive skin I am very careful about the soaps I use. I want to feel squeaky clean without it drying out my skin. Bar soaps tend to dry me out but this one actually didn’t. It left my skin feeling more like a body wash. I think next time I would try the Tunisian Olive Oil and Coconut instead though, but that’s just me. They also have some great shower gels that I think would be nice for guys too. I don’t particularly want to smell like a pine tree but some woodsier folk might.

I think you will really like it. It also has bits of oatmeal in it that add a little exfoliation to the mix. The smell is growing on me.
