Post #300

This is my 300th post. Wow.

I haven't marked many of the milestones of this blog, mostly because when my blogiversary came around, I was just getting home from the hospital with a 3-day-old. Blogiversaries were far from my mind. And I always seem to notice that a nice, even numbered post is coming up and then discover that the nice, even numbered post has come and gone and no post to commemorate it. I'm smooth like that.

To celebrate my 300th post and well, because I really, really, really like this stuff, I have a discount for you!

I mentioned a while back that I went to a craft show. It's an annual deal put on by a local Museum. It was packed with people and booths full of fun-to-look-at and crafty things.

One of my favorites was (and always is) the booth selling Blue Heron Soaps. They have a huge display with open packages of all their soaps so you can sniff to your heart's content. I bought two bars; Almond & Oatmeal and Herbal Citrus.

I could tell, when I got home, that Mike was ... unenthused about me spending money on fancy soap.

Until I opened the Almond & Oatmeal and stuck it under his nose.

His eyes got really big and he took the bar from me and put it in the bathroom, unceremoniously throwing out the bar we had been using. He washed his hands a couple of times during the day, always coming out and commenting on how much he loves the smell of the soap.

And the next morning, the soap went with him into the shower.

He said it was making him crave almond-flavored things. (Seriously. The man went through 2 ounces of almond extract in 2 weeks. I didn't use ANY.)

Yeah, it smells THAT good. It's been 2 weeks since I bought the soap. He STILL comments on how good it smells.

So, I wrote to the nice people at Bath & Bliss and told them how much we both love their soap and how my husband has all but taken a bite out of the bar. And they were kind enough to offer my readers a discount.

So, go to the shop and pick out 6 bars of their yummy, yummy smelling soaps and you will get 1 free, AND free shipping! You get 1 free bar for every 6 you buy! Woo! If you buy 12 bars, you get 2 free! And so on. Just leave a note in the comments telling them that you are a Looney Bin reader and what flavor bar you'd like as your free bar and they will hook you up.

I would highly recommend these soaps as great stocking stuffers. Or you could put a couple of bars in a basket with some inexpensive bath things (loofahs and stuff) and have a nifty gift for someone.
