soap opera
Here’s the thing with me and soap: I can’t use it. Without getting into too many of the boring details (allergies blah blah blah), let’s just say that everyone in my house is forced to use a special concoction that smells like air and feels like water. (We are a clean people, I promise.)
So when Kelly from Mollycoddle Soap contacted me, I was hesitant, but I figured that I could always use my family as soapy pigs. The soap arrived, and it smelled so, so good. I sudsed my daughter’s hands; they foamed, and smelled like pie. I dipped my pinky in a bubble. Then: I held my breath, and washed my hands. Nothing happened, beyond an awesome cleanliness and the faintly lingering scent of citrus and almonds.
Beyond their seemingly magical hypoallergenic properties, Mollycoddle’s soaps are over-the-top funny. Moustaches on a stick, ouija boards, freaky looking babies, dentures, big slabs of meat that smell like sweet tomatoes: they’re the best guest bath soaps ever. If you’re hosting a cheeky dinner party, prepare a dessert platter of doughnut, Oreo, and key lime pie soaps, and let your friends take them home as favors.
This week, we’re giving away a selection of Mollycoddle soaps; check out Mollycoddle’s e-commerce and Etsy sites, then leave a comment on this post, describing which soap shape or scent you’d like to see Mollycoddle make next. One lucky winner will be chosen at random.

These are adorable soaps. I’d love to see some animals. I know, lots of soapmakers do animals, but I’m not thinking the usual bears and ducks. I love squirrels, so I’d like to see a squirrel soap – have it smell like almonds!

This isn’t really over the top, but how about different shoes as soaps? Those would be cute! Sneakers, high heels, slippers… I love her stuff, they would make very good gifts or favors.

Yum! I wonder how many kids try to eat that soap, and gag when they realize it doesn’t taste as good as it looks. How about adding soaps that look like a mix of sliced cucumber and cantaloupe? I love the smell of cukes and melon!
