What it does, according to the brand: "Our most popular scent & with a peppermint burst … Continue reading Dr BRONNER Peppermint Bar soap – Review
This is the second shampoo bar I have tried and I must say that I am much more convinced by this one than I was with the first. Apart from being solid, Soak & Float does behave like a shampoo. It lathers beautifully and I feel like I am cleaning rather than just plastering some … Continue reading LUSH shampoo bar, “Soak and Float” – Review
