I just bought a couple of bars of soap from Veve&#8217;s Handmade on Etsy and it may be the best soap ever.  The &#8220;La Isla Bonita&#8221; soap smells soooo good.  I can&#8217;t even describe how good it smells, but I&#8217;ll try anyway.  It smells sweet, but very naturally sweet, not like candy. [...]]]></description>

Oatmeal, Milk and Honey Ultra Moisturizing Bar, soap by Veve's Handmade on etsy.com" /></a></p>
<p>I just bought a couple of bars of soap from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VevesHandmade">Veve&#8217;s Handmade</a> on Etsy and it may be the best soap ever.  The &#8220;La Isla Bonita&#8221; soap smells soooo good.  I can&#8217;t even describe how good it smells, but I&#8217;ll try anyway.  It smells sweet, but very naturally sweet, not like candy.  It has (obviously) a very tropical smell, like pineapple and coconut, but not like pina colada.  It may have some vanilla in the mix&#8230; Okay, I really can&#8217;t describe it, but it&#8217;s very complex and wonderful.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/52550567/la-isla-bonita-bar-soap-by-veves"><img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.161837097.jpg" alt="La Isla Bonita Bar, soap by Veve's Handmade" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been using the Oatmeal, Milk and Honey Ultra Moisturizing Bar and it really does feel great on my skin.  Even my husband has commented about what great soap it is.  My only regret is that I didn&#8217;t buy more!  I think next time I&#8217;ll add some of this body scrub to my order, and maybe some of the chocolate bath salts, delicious.</p>

In addition to these gorgeous necklaces they also offer t-shirts, headbands, and bracelets.  They&#8217;re the featured seller on Etsy right now, and deservedly so!
