I have really really sensitive skin & everything breaks me out. Not these bars though! I can't stop touching my arms, im so smooth & i haven't used the lotion yet.Instead of drying out my skin like the few soaps i can use do, its hydrating & i love the scent! The cocoa butter & shea you can really feel in the shower & hen you get out. It lather's really well too. The scent of white tea is delicious & i still smell it 45 minutes after my shower! The bar is square with a little divot in the middle of the back that makes it easy to hold.</span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-xGXw86M9o0tlPBHRXmAz4kW1RcdUIvZkSh0i1-vMoeGTHGyd4tr5uQreHARUHejJKcMch2SL4aUth3rbTvuS2mho7ohthzJTSpQC_CRIWxIcZ4QV1rtFTQJiCFAtJ9nRhpholc_ok4G/s1600/Clean+Up+Time+Conditioning+Bath+Soaps.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 303px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-xGXw86M9o0tlPBHRXmAz4kW1RcdUIvZkSh0i1-vMoeGTHGyd4tr5uQreHARUHejJKcMch2SL4aUth3rbTvuS2mho7ohthzJTSpQC_CRIWxIcZ4QV1rtFTQJiCFAtJ9nRhpholc_ok4G/s320/Clean+Up+Time+Conditioning+Bath+Soaps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519957827108957042" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">These lovely bars will be available in Magalog 11.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />Made with Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa butter, shea butter and white tea extract.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />- Leaves skin soft, clean and comforted.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">- Features the refreshing scent of great energy.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;">Set of 3. 3.4 oz. net wt. each soap.

That's what this party is about. :) It's not about gaining the most followers or asking people to follow back. It's about visiting at least the blog before and after you (and as many as you want after that) and leaving comments and making friends. </li></ul>Okay, this is hopefully the last time I have to spend time on this.

The linky will open at 10PM EST. Please pass it along.</p> <p>Also I’m on a computer this week that is very slow while I’m visiting my in-laws. If you asked me to check out your blog last week please post your link again and I will follow back. I got too overwhelmed with trying to login and sign up for blogs this past week, soooo sorry. Also be on the look out for a giveaway from Mabel Labels!!</p> <div style="padding-top: 10px;" align="center"> <p><a href="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/"><img src="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/buttons/200x200button-thursdaybloghop.jpg" alt="Bassgiraffe's Thoughts Canadian Mommy Blog Reviews and Giveaways" border="0" height="200" hspace="0" vspace="5" width="200" /></a><br /><textarea name="" cols="20" rows="3" onclick="this.focus();this.select();"><a href="http://www.bassgiraffe.com" target="blank"><img src="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/buttons/200x200button-thursdaybloghop.jpg" alt="Bassgiraffe's Thoughts Thursday Blog Hop" width="125" height="125" border="0" /></a></textarea> </p> </div> <p><strong>THE RULES</strong><br />1. Please follow the hosting blog- <a href="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/">bassgiraffe’s Thoughts</a> and the STAR blog in spot #2.<br />2. Please visit as many blogs as possible.<br />3. If someone visits your blog please visit theirs back, but I know that we don’t like all blogs we visit so don’t feel obligated to follow back if you don’t want.<br />4. Family friendly blogs only, please.<br />5. You will need to link to your blog post that has the above blog-hop button. Without a post it makes it harder for people to have a proper place to comment and let you know they stopped by.<br />—————————————-<br />Starting this week I am will be featuring one blog from the week before who made a post containing the blog hop button. This is a random draw from here on out. This week I just picked the first blog I can to that I saw my blog hop button was on. Next week’s STAR spot will be chosen Friday Morning via random.org. If the blog chosen does not have a post containing the hop button I will redraw a name. I hope that made sense.</p> <p>This week’s STAR spot is “Two Children and a Migraine”. Please follow her blog.<br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a border="0" href="http://twochildrenandamigraine.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab13/jacquiblogger/2kids%20and%20a%20migrain/Button2kidsmigraine.jpg" /> </a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><script src="http://www.linkytools.com/thumbnail_linky_include.aspx?id=37151" type="text/javascript"></script><br /></p><div style="font-size: 11px; text-align: center;"><br /><br /><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><a href="http://mommyofoneandcounting.blogspot.com/2010/08/talkative-thursdays-blog-hop-week-2.html">Talkative Thursday's Blog Hop - Week 2</a></h3><br /><span style=";font-family:";font-size:x-large;" ><b>Welcome to Talkative Thursday's - Week 2</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://mommyofoneandcounting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Mommy of One"><img alt="Mommy of One" src="http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab104/ShannaEAnderson/pink-BG-1.jpg" /></a><center><br /></center><br /><center><textarea id="code-source" name="code-source" rows="3"><center><a href="http://mommyofoneandcounting.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab104/ShannaEAnderson/pink-BG-1.jpg" /></a></center></textarea></center></center><br /><br /><br /><br />Talkative Thursday's is hosted by <a href="http://mommyofoneandcounting.blogspot.com/">Mommy of One</a> and <a href="http://lucasjourneyspd.blogspot.com/">Lucas Journey with SPD</a>.<br /><br /><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><br /><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>RULES</b>:</div><br /><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><li>Follow the blog in the #1 <b>and </b>#2 spot </li><li>Grab the Talkative Thursday's button, and make a post on your blog, with the button so new follower's know where to submit comments.</li><li>Submit your URL to the linky below, please have it go to your new blog post with the button.</li><li>Follow as many blog's as you want!!</li></ul><br /><br /><br />You must follow both blogs in order to participate.
