Groschen Goblins Go Green - Joy of Soap Review & Giveaway

CONTEST CLOSED
We have another repeat offender and Groschen Goblin Family Fave.  Last month I did a review & Giveaway for my Valentine's Day Gift Guide (See that review HERE).  And I am so happy to be working with them again. 

All of Joy of Soap Products are handmade, Fragrance Oil Soaps.  Their soaps begin with a base of olive, coconut, palm and castor oils, and are mixed with delicious fragrance oils. Some of their soaps also contain therapeutic grade essential oils, an exfoliant and/or a natural colorant.   Their Green Practices cover ingrediants, shipping material, product packaging, labeling, shipping & Green Living.



Everyone in our family (yes, even the kids) love the soap that we've received from The Joy of Soap.  My personal fave is the Ginger Snap and it's lasted me more than a month.  An excellent value and environmentally friendly!  Definetly a Groschen Fave!


Buy it:
A 5 oz. Bar of Soap is $7.50 and a 2 oz Bar of Soap is $3.50

Tuck it:
Purchase an extra bar to tuck away so you don't run out!!/Bar of Soap makes an excellent gift for any occasion.  I like the idea of tying it to the top of a gift and personalizing it with a small tool!

Win it:
Once again the Generous Folks at Joy of Soap are giving one lucky Goblin Reader the following:
One Bar of Cranky Pants Pear
One Bar of Kiss Me Kiwi
And One a hand knit 100% cotton Greeen Washhcloth
We are talking Green and St. Patrick's Day :)

Here's What You Have To Do:

Required Entry:
