Soap Matters 好肥皂＝好心情

Why do I love soap?  Because it is so intimate.  It hears you sing.  And it welcomes you, even when you are at your most unkempt and foul, and then forgives you, cleanses you, and let you start anew.  Everyday.  A good shower + good soap never fails to lift my day.

為什麼我會愛肥皂？因為它是跟我們最親密的日常用品。它聽我們唱歌，也清新我們，讓我們天天有一個陽光的開始。洗浴＋好皂＝好心情。

After spending countless hours browsing handmade soap shops in Taiwan, D encouraged me to take a class and make my own soaps.  At first I was reluctant, and then became addicted, lol.  These are my most recent cold-processed soaps, with new recipes that I formulated.

 D看我那麼愛肥皂就鼓勵我自己學作肥皂。剛開始不太想，但一作起來就上癮啦！這兩個是我最近想出新的配方作出來的冷制手工皂。

Looks delicious right?  Smells wonderful too.  Every time we enter the bedroom, it’s like walking into a field of lavender flowers.  And when the lavender dissipates, the cypress comes in with an earthy aroma, as if we were falling asleep in the woods.

看起來好吃，聞起來好香！每次進臥房就像走入一片薰衣草園，等花香散開後又走入一片檜木森林，等著我們來休息。
