Jai’s Favorite Things: These Soaps

Is it a level up in adulting if you actually consider toiletries a wanted gift?

It’s the last full week to get our Christmas shopping in (yeah, I’m not done yet either), but with so many stellar local shops around town, it’s hard to feel stressed.

I’ve been sharing some of my favorite items from around town, but what I’m loving most is that a lot of the stores I’ve visited have something for everyone. There are gifts for any budget, taste and personal preferences.

The last couple days I shared the sparkly-shoulder top and the taco tee, and we’re only just getting started on a few of my favorite things.

Next up . . .

This Soap.

I first saw these cold pressed soaps at the Inspired: Clarksville Women’s Show in November and instantly fell in love. I was never a bar soap type of person, but when I noticed a bar labeled “Volcano Farts,” I had to smell it. Obviously.

The brand is called No Big Deal Cosmetics, and the story is that their products are locally sourced. You can get them at Yada Yada Yada Deli or The Copper Petal.

I also tried out their dry shampoo.  I highly recommend!!
