Dr. Bonner's Magic Soap



I read about a Dr. Bonner's Magic Soap on a blog a while back. When I saw it at target I picked up the bar soap. I usually hate body washes because it doesn't rinse squeaky clean. I was hoping the peppermint bar would be comparable to Bliss' Minty Mammoth Bar, but Dr. Bonner's bar was lacking in the minty experience.
Last week I was visiting my bff and she had a bottle of Dr.Bonner's liquid soap and it rinses so well I ran to Target and bought a huge bottle of the peppermint soap. It was $13.29 which is cheaper than what's listed on the Dr. Bonner website.
I absolutely love it! The cooling sensation of the peppermint is intense and just a little squirt gets so much lather. Definitely great for those mornings I need to wake up. :)

how i spent $50 at CVS...



  1. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70- I needed a moisturizer with sun protection, this product stated it layers evenly under make up. It was either this or the anti aging spf Neutrogena also came out with, but I ended up purchasing this. Now my question is moisturizer first or sunblock first? I know they say Sunblock goes on first, but since this is waterproof, sweat proof, etc; will my moisturizer penetrate through that?
  2. L'Oreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer-CVS actually had a brand new tester when I was in their store. I tried some on the back of my hand it. It felt very similar to Smashbox's Photofinish at half the cost. Decided I would add it to my non-existent make up routine in the AM.
  3. Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment GROWTH Formula - Recently I've gotten into the bad habit of biting my nails and I have not been able to grow them since. I usually love Sally Hansen products so I picked this up. Quite pricey at $10.99 a bottle.
