[Politics] Calling All Cleansing Bar Crafters

Some of you have written me about trying one of my soap-free cleansing bar recipes and loving it – some of you have written that you are doing your own version and loving it – and it's all GREAT! I'm thrilled that these cleansing bars have taken on a life of their own. (If you haven't tried making one yet you will find an overview of the recipes on this blog right here).

Meantime, I've been inspired by Jana who lives in Slovenia and has a blog called Small Bits of Loveliness. She kickstarted an idea that could become huge – as huge as a worldwide cleansing bar conglomerate!

Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself – because this idea is nothing without you.


It All Started When Jana Wrote:
"Hi. A few months ago I tried making one of your cleansing bars and was so amazed by it that I borrowed your recipe and shared it on my blog. I hope that's ok :) Unfortunately is in Slovene, but you can still check it out "

I did check it out, and Jana, it is absolutely ok! (And extra yay because Google translate helps make language barriers a non-issue) Above is a picture of Janas lovely cleansing bars that you will find the recipe for right here.

After checking out Janas recipe, I realized there were more to be found. Here are a few I came across with a quick search:

Femina, an online magazine in Hungary did a review of my recipe for the exfoliating lavender bar and linked to it (your notes about my non-professional photography are duly noted and I will try and take better pics - promise!)

Visit the lovely Kirppu in Finland to see her version of cleansing bars (love those pink flowers!)

Visit the popular LTM La Tía Maruja in Spain for her version of cleansing bars.

Here Comes The Worldwide Part
Wouldn't it be great if we could collect everybody's version and make an online WorldWide Soap-free DIY Cleansing Bar Catalog?

I am envisioning a dedicated page on this blog with links and pictures of YOUR version of these cleansers - preferably on some sort of interactive world map thingy (if I can figure out how to make that part. No promises – but I will do my best).

If you are willing to share your experiences, words, and photos to make this happen, then send me your info quick as a bunny and I'll get to work.

If you ARE a blogger, please send:

• Your name, blog name and link to your blog
• Where on the planet are you (country, state/county/territory and city)
• A picture of your cleansing bar (if possible 650 pixels wide)
• Link to where your recipe can be found on your blog (and/or review of one of my recipes if you didn't make your own version)

If you are NOT a blogger, please send:

• Your name
• Where on the planet are you (country, state/county/territory and city)
