We joined forces with our friends at BPR Designs and are sending free samples to support a “Casting for Recovery” retreat.

About Casting for Recovery:

The program offers “an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by breast cancer to gather in a natural setting and learn the sport of fly fishing. The retreats offer an opportunity to meet new friends, network, exchange information, and have fun. [...]

While the fundraising burden of offering healing retreats at no cost to participants and asking volunteers to run state programs is enormous, Casting for Recovery has inspired the generous and loyal support of donors large and small, and continues to believe in its mission of providing women with powerful tools for healing at no expense to them.”

For more info on this program, please visit their website at castingforrecovery.org

UPDATE: Since this post, we have received a thank you note from Mary:

“Betty and Mike,

Beth brought the soap to me that you made for our Casting for Recovery retreat.  Thank you very much for this wonderful contribution.  The soap is beautiful.  We plan to have one of Beth’s soap dishes with your soap on the pillow of the women when they arrive – along with a nice poem about the “cleansing” nature of our weekend retreat.  The participants are all breast cancer survivors and they are very appreciative of these special touches.

Thank you again.

Mary T.
Program Coordinator – Wyoming
Casting for Recovery”

Who said you can’t enjoy Lilacs in Spring all year round? Not only do we have a picture-perfect palette of pink and semi circles of white, but you’ll swear your shower or bath has been transformed into a field of lilacs once you start to lather up with our soap. With our handcrafted glycerin soap, the dreamy scent of fresh-cut lilacs will linger long after you’ve stepped out of the shower.

Lilacs in Spring as a Gift

Lilacs in Spring offers a delicate scent that makes the perfect baby shower gift. It’s even more fitting if the expectant mother is awaiting the birth of a bouncing baby girl. For men looking to please the special lady in their life on Valentine’s Day – the soap is a thoughtful gesture for sweethearts with a fondness for lilacs. We also think Lilacs in Spring would make an attractive addition to a gift basket of Magic Senses soaps. Take the time to browse additional floral scents and you won’t be disappointed.

Our Floral Collection

Lilacs in Spring is part of our floral collection of glycerin soaps, which captures the essence of popular blooms and delivers them to you in a 6-ounce bar of moisturizing goodness. You may also want to pamper yourself with some of our other selections within the floral collection, such as relaxing Lavender, Lily of the Valley, Hyacinth, and our colorful Sweet Pea Delight.

Benefits of Glycerin Soap

Have you ever used a commercial soap product and you’re skin is left dry, flaky, and itchy? This is because the majority of soaps on the market contain harsh chemicals that rob your skin of its natural oils. As with all Magic Senses soaps, our ingredients are simple and natural: vegetable glycerin, fragrance oil, soap coloring, water, and love. We also hand-design and hand-cut our soap, which ensures you receive a one-of-a-kind treat.

What beach will you imagine yourself on when you surrender to the luscious tropical scent of our Sex on the Beach glycerin soap? From the white sands of Waikiki to Caribbean waves, this romantic blend of fresh orange, sweet vanilla, and ripe mango will send you to the exotic getaway of your dreams. When you’re looking for uplifting bath and beauty products, look no further than our Sex on the Beach glycerin soap, which displays a large orange curl contained in a solid white base – just like a wave breaking onto the shore.

What is Sex on the Beach?

Sex on the Beach is an infamous cocktail that comes in many variations. Two main types exist of the alcoholic drink: vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice and cranberry juice (from the International Bartenders Association) and vodka, Chambord, midori melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice (Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide). All of the ingredients are shaken with ice and then served in a highball glass. It’s this popular tropical-tasting drink that has become the inspiration of our Sex on the Beach glycerin soap.

Looking for a Unique Gift

The fragrance and visual appeal of our Sex on the Beach glycerin soap also makes a special gift for loved ones. This scented soap is a delightful get-well gesture, housewarming gift, birthday present, or special memento to commemorate a past trip or vacation. We also think young adults and college students will get a kick out of the name of the soap.

Gentle on the Skin

All of our glycerin soap is unique and possesses it’s own character. Since it’s a handcrafted, hand-cut creation, small imperfections and colorful details make every 6-ounce bar of soap a one-of-a-kind treat. The exact colors and appearance may vary, but will always follow a basic design. Plus, the moisturizing qualities of our soap uses natural ingredients, which do not irritate the skin like many other commercial brands.

While our Cool Rhythm handcrafted glycerin soap is perfect for the tranquil days of spring and summer, we like to think this clean scent delivers a jolt of liveliness all year-round. A blend of cucumber and sweet, juicy melon offers a stimulating cleansing experience that promises to invigorate the start of your day.

Every Magic Senses bar of soap is packed with its own unique personality. The designs of a particular scent follow a basic style, but your soap is always a one-of-a-kind creation. With a gentle moisturizing effect – you can thank the vegetable glycerin and other non-irritating ingredients that make up the soap. This means if you have sensitive, dry skin or battle with a skin condition (like eczema or psoriasis) – you can use our soap without any consequences.

Share the Rhythm with Others

The cucumber and melon scent of our Cool Rhythm handmade soap makes an uplifting gift for new and expecting moms, birthday guys and gals, and teenage girls. You can also pass on the rhythm to someone who needs a pick-me-up – perfect for a get-well gesture or a loved one recovering from a personal setback. Just like a rhythm that calls out your name, the scent of Cool Rhythm soap is hard to ignore.

Supporting the Dizzy Feet Foundation

If you’re ready to take advantage of the ultra-moisturizing qualities of vegetable glycerin soap, Cool Rhythm not only gives you fruity sensations, but the soap also gives back to the community. Our Cool Rhythm soap is part of the Dance Soap Collection, which donates 20% of every bar sold within the Collection to assist talented, less fortunate young dancers achieve their dreams. We support the Dizzy Feet Foundation, which was founded in 2009 by producer Nigel Lythgoe, director Adam Shankman, “Dancing with the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba and actress Katie Holmes.
