CONTEST CLOSED!
It's Friday! I love fridays. But you know I love Fridays even more when there is a SUPER fabulous giveaway.
The creative and GENEROUS folks over at Funky Chunks Soaps are giving away a basket full of goodies.
You may recognize the name Funky Chunks Soap as I am a HUGE supporter and user of their soaps. They are all natural, no chemicals, no junk and quite possibly the worlds best scents. They make all of their soaps in small batches to bring you the freshest soaps possible. Soaps are Vegan friendly and have highly fragrant big bubble lather that is kind and gentle to your skin.
Coming soon they will be launching a retro men's line of soaps, as well as plans to open their own store in 2013. Did you know that over 45% of their customers are men? Nothing better than a nice smelling man--well if he smells like Surf Wax then all the better! Surf Wax is my favorite: it smells just like the beach. No really. If you're going to buy just one thing, make it the Surf Wax. Amazing beachy-like scent. It's one of their top sellers.
The giveaway includes a filled with:
Funky Four Pack of soap chunks (green tea zen, tequila sunrise, secret sin, and hello sweetie)

Chocolate chip cookie soap sounds good to me:) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My favorite day of the week! I am an aromatherapy fan (yes, I'm a guy) and have thought about make star anise (not too girl, right?) or cardamom (almost herbal!) soap but I'm just waiting for a brilliant soap company to do it for me!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say soft lavander and vanilla. The combination is so relaxing.
Thanks Tori
fresh laundry...best smell ever!
ReplyDeleteI want to open like 10 links!
ReplyDeletePB&J vodka
the paint chip wall
the spring rolls from W.S. -- saw those on Pinterest this week!
The giveaway...it's awesome. Good smelling soaps and lotions are the best.
And love your Easter Eggs.
These are my fave posts :)
I've been on a huge coconut kick lately (for scent and for eating!), so I would probably go for a coconut scent. Maybe coconut pineapple scent.
ReplyDeleteI know it's not very creative, but I would create honeysuckle or lilac. The two scents of these flowers make me smile and give me an inner peace. I love them and it's hard to find these genuine smells outside of nature!
ReplyDeleteIf I could create my own soap dish, I would use natural scents like green tea or lavender. To be creative, I'd try some beer flavored soaps like a porter or an IPA soap bar. Could be a great for my hubby.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome giveaway - I could use some new fun soap in my life! :) If I could create my own soap scent, I think I would choose mint mojito - lots of fresh scents to wake me up in the morning! :)
ReplyDeletePB and J vodka? I'm going to check out that link! Those eggs look so so good. I'd definitely want a beachy soap- sun tan lotion- yum!
ReplyDeleteIf I created a new soap it would be some sort of cupcake/cakey scent! I know they probably already have this out there, but it would be divine!
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn between something fresh and green, or something warm like chai. I guess I'd have to invent 2!
ReplyDeleteI'm not that creative but definitely something with vanilla in it!
ReplyDeleteI DO make my own soap, and my favorite scents so far are cinnamon-vanilla and chamomile-vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make my own soap. I think White Tea, Rose and lavender would be nice.
ReplyDeletemargueritecore [at] gmail [dot] com
Pink grapefruit! Yes, I know it's a popular scent but it makes me so happy! Orange blossom would be a very close second.
ReplyDeleteMy own soap flavor?? The sharpest, tartest, brightest, most mouth-puckering lemon I could find.
ReplyDeleteI love soap and this giveaway! I would for sure choose chocolate, if I can't eat it, I can wash with it!

ReplyDeleterosemary and lemon verbena soap
ReplyDeletejacquieastemborski AT comcast DOT net
It would smell like my perfume from the 80's--a scent I've been chasing my whole adult life because they don't make that perfume anymore.
ReplyDeleteI would make one that smells like April Fresh Downy. Love that stuff so much I joke sometimes that I could almost drink it. April Fresh only, please, none of their other "flavors". ;)

ReplyDeletermaloy1@msn.com
I would love something tropical like strawberry basil mojito! It reminds me of the beach.
ReplyDeleteI do not even know how to spell it, but at the age of 54, I love the "hippie" scent of patchouli! Misty...roasted chicken soap is so funny!

I have really become a fan of lemongrass lately. It smells so fresh and clean without being too overwhelming. Bathtub looks awesome but I get the feeling it might serve as a highly unflattering magnifying glass! haha

ReplyDeleteProbably one with mint, lavender and honey... strange combo I know, but those are some of my favourite scents!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the smell of fresh rain or cut grass!
