misosouper, a shopping blog

After receiving my box last week, I’ve finally had a chance to try all of mi SPA’s goodies.  Here’s my report:

*I’ve had no allergies to any of the products I tried.  As people with multiple chemical sensitivities know, this is a rare and miraculous occurrence.

*I’m in love with the Everyday Conditioner, which smooths my thick, straight hair’s flyaways, hasn’t stripped my color, and leaves a healthy, glossy sheen.  I’m gladly ditching my dermatologist-prescribed conditioner for a bottle of this.

*My other favorite from the box is the Dry Perfume Roll-On.  It dries immediately, lasts through the summer heat, and hello?  Who doesn’t love a perfume that won’t leak all over your purse?

*As far as scents:  I will purchase all my products in crisp, refreshing Grass Patch, which smells like Gap’s unfortunately discontinued Grass perfume.  (Viva the mid-90s!  I wore this all through high school.)  Only more sophisticated, like you’re enjoying your own lawn, instead of being sixteen and charging $20 to mow someone else’s.

If you would like to make your bath and body smell like a grass patch, or any other of mi SPA’s 25 other scents, the shipping’s on them; just enter code fr3e4MISO at checkout.

As you know, my skin allergies have been documented (complained about?) in several posts; the upside of being allergic to everything metal/makeup/cleaning-producty is that the stuff I’ve been putting on my body recently is a lot better for me than the vats of chemicals I used to rely on.  And it’s led me to companies like mi SPA, which are creating delicious, effective, paraben-free products that people like me can use without fear of turning into a strawberry marshmallow. Bonus points for disclosing all ingredients, and including a detailed ingredient glossary on their site.

Today at mi SPA, you can get a surprise-mi box stuffed with goodies–mine just came in the mail!–for a ridiculously reduced price.  My package smelled like a pine forest perched on the edge of the ocean, and contained a Green Tea soy candle, a big, yummy Beer Shampoo bar (don’t knock it ’til you try it…they’re great for color-treated hair and last FOREVER), a Lemon Sugar Dry Perfume roll-on, and a good-sized Everyday Conditioner, along with some treats from other indie designers.  The cost?  $22.50.  So go!  Run!  Buy your box now, before I buy three more and leave you empty-handed and dirty-headed.
