Now at first glance you might not think this soap is the best for todays theme. Yes, I have Paganinis Violin, no I didn’t want to use it today (and no not because it’s unscented u/merikus!) The name of this soap brings me back to middle/high school days when I played in my church’s youth handbell choir. Let me first point out that I am horrendously NOT musically inclined at all! Like to the point where I color coded the notes I had to play so I could remember them. I could’ve just learned to read music but nope…We were pretty darn good though, my favorite song we played was Carol of the Bells and we played it every Christmas for the church service. I had a bunch of friends in the marching band in high school and this was how I got to hang out with them and get to enjoy something that they enjoyed.
Bell Ringer is an incredibly bright and fresh mango scent. It also was just announced that it’s being retired (RIP) which makes me appreciate my tub even more! IA - Every Storm a Serenade might not quite match scent wise but going with the musical theme here so it fits! I’ve enjoyed a lot of the scents I’ve been able to sample from Imaginary Authors and really like their concept for their name. I love to read books when I have free time (which is never lately) so this just jived with me.
Todays #photocontest obviously has to be #Music. I mean how could you do any other one on Musical Monday?
Edit: totally forgot my tub art! I took some artistic liberties to add music notes and a bell to the tub. Try to not stare too long into it’s beauty!
