It is thrilling to welcome a new sponsor to Pearls on a String!  I am especially excited about this particular one because the product is phenomenal, unexpected, and (I am still objective, honestly) was created by my cousin.  If you have not tried handcrafted soap then you are completely missing out.  Tim Ledford, owner of SLAB Handcrafted Soap Company, has perfected his own recipe of luxurious soap that leaves skin feeling soft and lovely.  All of his soap is made using a unique blend of palm, coconut, olive oil and exotic butters utilizing vegetable fats rather than animal fats like most commercial soap products (bad for skin, bad for the environment).  All of the soap is cut by hand in the shop, which is perfectly rustic with brick walls and thick wood beams as decor.

One lucky reader will win five bars of their choice.  My favorites are grapefruit oatmeal, coconut, lemongrass, and ginger peach.  I also love the line of men’s soap that doubles as a shampoo and body wash.  Genius for stinky boys!  Rules for entering: Sign up to follow Pearls on a String if you haven’t already, leave a comment so I know you’re interested, and like SLAB Handcrafted Soap on Facebook.  The winner will be chosen randomly tomorrow by 8:00PM.  Good luck, friends!
