Intresting, I have not used soap in 10 years ( i only use aquaus cream ) I will definatly give the sensitive soap a try.

Cambourne! I do the Gardener's Delight fragrance free as well!

Thanks Grawc!

cool bananas :-)

Trixiebelle · « **Reply #5 on:** July 26, 2007, 17:55:53 »

Thanks for the order Grawc ;D

I'll be doing 'other stuff' for Christmas pressies: Soap, bird feeders/houses and my mate Jain does FANTASTIC knitted stuff as well.

grawrc · « **Reply #6 on:** July 26, 2007, 18:02:52 »

You're welcome. Once I've tried them we'll likely come back for more. We're a dirty lot in this house! ;)

OllieC · « **Reply #7 on:** July 26, 2007, 18:44:07 »

Sounds cool Trixie. I have very dry skin (being the delicate type!), but hate soap alternatives as they leave you feeling greasy, IMO. Have any other delicate skinned people road tested them yet?

Trixiebelle · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2007, 18:51:52 »

Ollie!

Jeannine has tested some of the soaps and she is REALLY allergic to soap.

Maybe she could give a recommendation?

If you've got delicate/dry skin then I could make you a bar of soap: Olive oil, linseed and oatmeal?

manicscousers · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2007, 19:43:11 »

yep, ollieC..another reccommendation here..I've got strange skin, I break out in hives with stuff like imperial leather, anything with a scent really..not with Trixie's gardeners or kitchen soap..I don't use them on my face but, then again, I don't use any soap on my face ;D

Emagggie · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2007, 21:39:27 »

Have placed my order via PayPal, Trixie. This is easy peasy Christmas shopping!
I just love nice thoap, I treat myself sometimes......like now ;D

Jeannine · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2007, 22:03:31 »

I have skin that breaks out if I carry cardboard boxes and they touch my forearms, or lean on the edge of a chipbboard desk plus a whole lot more things , so I was a bit nervous when Trixie sent me some soap some months ago, however I felt I had to try it and I was amazed. I did not itch when I washed my hands, Ok so I will try it on my face, still no problems. I won't bore you with the details but it works fine on all my bits.

Trxie I have been waiting for you to get yourself togther,I have none left and now have skin breaks after going back to the regular stuff!!

I realise that all difficult skins react to different things but my skin is very hard to live in and was a good test. Trixies soap came through really well. Give it a try.

When are you doing shampoo Trixie, I need that now.

As a huge fan of Lush products, it's my pleasure to support hand made natural goodies wherever I find them, especially from an A4A neighbour!

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2007, 23:09:35 »

just love the names of your soaps Trixiebelle - I don't use it either on my face but adore beautiful soaps, especially when it has a gorgeous perfume. I store mine amongst my 'undies & nightware' so when I take items out of the drawer to wear, they always smells lovely.

have just stocked up with a new selection after a recent holiday but would like to try some of yours one day.

good luck with your selling your goodies :)

grawrc · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2007, 23:11:35 »

Hey Trixie!! How come other people get them months in advance!!! preferential treatment that is. It ain't fair.

Mrs Ava · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2007, 23:23:35 »

Can I ask...why don't some of you use soap on your face? I am a soap and water gal and love that clean feeling when my face is freshly washed.

I sense an order coming from Essex. ;D
