Good Clean Fun

How about some good clean fun for today’s question.

First, a confession: I woke up in a super grouchy mood thanks to a little gray cat who refused to come inside last night. Kept me up way past my bedtime with her antics. (I’m not saying that maybe I watched a little too much Netflix also but had the cat come in on time, I *might* have went to bed a bit earlier) I actually typed up an entire post full of grumbles. Then, decided it wasn’t something to share especially on a Friday. Not quite as grouchy now so hopefully this is a better post than the deleted one.

Good Clean Fun

You know I purchase a bit too much from a certain store, candles, hand sanitizer, hand soap, shower gel (sometimes…I could make a whole grouchy post about how they always seem to discontinue my favorite scents), etc. It’s Bath and Body Works if you don’t know. Actually, I’m due to get a package today. And another in a few days because some things from my last package arrived broken. I try to keep stocked up on their hand soaps.

Here’s Our Soapy Stats

Photos of the soaps only because even though I cleaned yesterday, the house is somehow a mess again. SIGH.

Main Bathroom Soap

If you needed to use our main bathroom, it’s not disgusting just junked up from the morning rush…you’d be washing your hands with:

Fragrance notes: magical vanilla, glowing amberwood and enchanted pink pepper. (from their website)

It’s as far as I’ve got with the Halloween/Fall decor around here outside of a pulling out a blanket with a pumpkin motif. I also bought a couple of single wick candles in this scent.  If you were here and the bathroom were clean, I’d have it lit. The fragrance isn’t bad but is a little strong.

Come on in the kitchen, where I’d also have another wicked vanilla woods scented candle burning. Can I get you a beverage? A not so good grocery store donut?

Kitchen Soap

I wish I had bought the candles of this scent! It smells so good. And uh-oh, I see it’s in stock at a store not too far away. Someone tell me I don’t need any more candles!

Fragrance notes: crisp apple, fresh-picked basil and morning dew. (from their website)

It just smells very clean to me.

Also, my husband and kids just use the dish soap to wash their hands in the kitchen. So that option is also available to you. I can’t do that all the time (sometimes I have) as the dish soap dries out my hands.

If it’s an emergency, I guess you can use the bathroom in our bedroom. It’s tiny and usually always a mess but it serves the purpose.

Bedroom Bathroom Soap

So, the other soaps (well, not the dish soap not pictured, probably Dawn by the way) are all foaming soap. Funny thing, my husband doesn’t really care for foaming hand soap. Don’t ask. I have no idea. However, it means in our bedroom bathroom we use gel soap.

It tends to last a bit longer not because of the gel but because more people use the other bathroom. Currently you’d be washing your hands with Eucalyptus Mint. Another nice clean scent.

Fragrance notes: fresh mint, crisp eucalyptus and sweet clary sage. (from their website)

We are about out of the soap in there though. I think I’ll be switching it out (once empty) for either white pumpkin or perfect autumn. Both will get us through Halloween/early November while staying seasonal.

**************

Note: yes, I think the Bath and Body Works soap is outrageously priced and so stock up when it’s on sale/I have a good coupon deal. Also, I have a regular gel soap of some random Target brand milk and honey on my shelf as well. I used to buy Method soap which I still like but when the prices went up, well, might as well buy the seasonal pretty stuff where I have a bit more choice.

Anyway, my question for you all today is do you use seasonal scented soaps in your house?  And so, if I need to wash my hands while I’m visiting you, what kind of soap am I using?
