ON MY SOAP BOX


Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall, I’m a lizard!!!  My skin is Sahara desert dry!!  I’m constantly engaged in a battle against ash. Unfortunately ash is a formidable opponent, it has a tendency to overtake an elbow, knee or the heel of a foot at any given moment!!  With that in mind, I try my darndest to be armed and ready!!  I carry a travel sized bottle of lotion in my purse, and I keep a vat of bag balm on my bedside table.  Recently, I ran across a soap that has shea butter as its key ingredient — Hmm, I could start my moisture strategy in the shower!!!  Without any hesitation I purchased a bar of Nubian Heritage’s African Black Soap.

The soap smells fantastic. My skin felt pretty good.  But holy crap, I couldn’t stand how dirty this soap made my shower!!  It didnt occur to me that black soap creates black suds!!  Black suds make a white tub look like a grey filthy mess!!  Everything that the soap touched had a black skid mark.

Needless to say, the African Black Soap was released from active duty.  I don’t have the man power to fight ash and filth!!  *SIGHHHHHH*  The battle continues….
