i confess, i have not quite mastered bar soap. it always dissolves in a little puddle of water in my shower or crumbles into bits in my bathtub.

however, i love the stuff. especially when it comes wrapped up in a dashing package. two cats riding tandem on a bike? sign me up! big foot walking a raccoon? give me a dozen! sure, the soap will soon be sacrificed in my shower and consumed by a loofah, but until then, it can live a happy life on my display shelf. 

meow mewo tweet bar soap available here and at rare device.

{top to bottom: beer shampoo bar soap; rosemary lime bar soap; grapefruit mint bar soap; citronella fir bar soap.}

whether your palette craves tasty logs or smoked ham, i hope you have a tasty day!

hand me a bat and i will unabashedly take a swift swing at a piñata for a bucket of candy.

however, if the piñata looks like a sparkling diamond, i may opt for hanging it from my office ceiling (until my cravings for candy gets too maddening, of course).

it's monday, darlings. prepare accordingly.
