Dr. Bronners

I love this soap. Peppermint is my go to for everything. I use it as a shampoo, body wash and to clean the house.

I first started using this when my dad brought peppermint home. I remember sitting in the tub, reading the bottle that had all kinds of messages, some of them I thought were strange and kinda scary to my 12 year old brain. I looked for the standard soap we always used in the house by the side of the tub. Could not find a bar that did not look cootie-fied by my little sisters and picked up the bottle of Dr. Bronners. I put it on my washcloth and jumped at the tingle. I loved how the soap lathered and felt on my skin. But I did learn a hard lesson that day.... Do not put it on your tendernothings. You will feel something not so sweet. I spent the next five minutes trying to rinse it off of there. 

As I grew up, I worked in a store that sold most of the Dr. Bronners scents. I bought them all and guarded them intensly from my sisters.  My favorite was the lavender scent, I used the peppermint to cool off on cool days and almond to switch it up.

Fast forward a few years and I can not find the soap as easily as before or if I do, it is so expensive, I can not justify buying it when I have a house to feed. So I do without.   Then on a trip to Trader Joe's, I find it again. A big 32 oz bottle for a great price, so now I am back in business. I use it for shampoo, to soak my feet and clean my face.  My child is not a big fan, but that just means there is more for me.
