Welcome spring with a Spring Flowerpot Soap from PureBlissEssentials.com

Now that spring is really here, I can once again bet back into the garden to weed, plant and beautify my yard. I love working in my gardens. It gives me such a feeling of well being to see plants that I have loved and slaved over cared for actually growing.  Gardening is a lot of work and it really takes a tole on your hands.  Constant exposure to the sun can leave your skin tender and dry as well.

Pure Bliss Essentials offers incredible goat milk soap.  Handmade soap has a basic advantage over store bought soap.  It contains glycerin.  All soap is made by combining a fat with an alkali.  During the saponification process, the fat turns into soap and glycerin.  In commercial soaps, the glycerin is removed by adding salt to make the soap and glycerin separate.  The glycerin is then used in more profitable products like cosmetics and medicine.  In handmade soap, the glycerin remains in the soap and provides deep moisturizing benefits.

Goat milk soaps offer even more.  All milk contains natural emolients, vitamins and triglycerides that moisturize the skin. Goat milk contains the moisturizer capric-capryllic triglyceride and many people find goat milk soap to be less drying and harsh than ordinary soap.  The soaps made from Pure Bliss Essentials contain only pure fresh goat milk for the best bathing experience.

I love the adorable Spring Flowerpot Soap I received from Pure Bliss Essentials.  The soap has a pretty design of a flower in a flower pot with green grass, blue sky and  a watering pot completing the fanciful image. It is the perfect gift to welcome spring or for the special gardener in your life.  The fragrance was lightly floral and overall fresh and clean.   It didn't dry out my skin at all even using it multiple times a day to clean my hands after gardening or caring for the chickens and ducks.


This soap is a HUGE 7.5 ounce bar and it really lasts a long time.  Pure Bliss Essentials offers a variety of other types of soaps as well as bath, skin and lip products like bombs, scrubs and body cremes. These would make beautiful gifts for that special woman in your life or treat yourself to a little TLC. You deserve it!

Win $20 GC to Goat Milk Stuff

I have always chosen handmade soaps over store bought soaps not only because I value store made over mass produced but because I trust that the quality and purity of handmade soaps is so much better than mass produced. Have you looked at the ingredients in your typical store bought soap? Yuck! I have no desire to lather that all over my body not to mention my kids!

I value handmade in this mass produced world. The quality is better and I like supporting small businesses and work at home families. Goat Milk Stuff is just one of those families. Jim and PJ Jonas and their 8 (yup eight) children live in Indiana and are the owners of Goat Milk Stuff.

Goat Milk Stuff creates their own goat milk soap from their very own goats. They never use any antibiotics or growth hormones in their soap. Their children drink the milk from their goats so it's important to them that their milk be as pure as possible.

I was thrilled to receive a package of soaps from Goat Milk Stuff. I could tell the mailman had delivered it even before I looked at the address on the box because the heavenly scents filled my mailbox. I bet everyone from Indiana to Vermont who handled the package was filled with jealousy!



Goat Milk Stuff uses only natural oils and fats in their soap along with the highest quality essential and fragrance oils. They never use artificial dyes or colorings.  Their bars are at least 5 oz in weight. This is a BIG bar. None of those tiny half sized bars here.  They have a huge selection of different scents to choose from and I had such a hard time choosing the ones I wanted to try.   They even offer lip balms, lotion sticks, bath bombs and laundry soap!

Just a few of the scent suggestions offered from Goat Milk Stuff include Black Cherry, Cider Press, Cool Citrus Basil, Fiji Island, Nautical, Pink Sugary and Rosemary Mint.  My personal favorite was the Cider Press which smells just like apple cider. I love it! Very moisturizing and a great lather too. Marty enjoyed the Evergreen scent the best. It's very fresh and clean and manly smelling.  The kids hands down liked the Pink Sugary.  It smells just like cotton candy!

This would make a wonderful Valentine's Day gift for anyone on your shopping list. Goat Milk Stuff recommends their Chocolate Valentine's Gift Set!  Goat Milk Stuff products can be purchased online or from a variety of retailers. You can connect with them on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with what they're doing.
