Bailey
Smells like: Something I can't quite place, I know it, I feel it, it's in my heart and yet I can't see it...
Intentionally left unscented, but read more about that at the bottom.
Feels llike: When she was 8 weeks old and I first met her, she tugged my ponytail and my heart laughed a laugh it had never laughed.
Occasional bits of sea salt and charcoal can be felt. Gentle exfoliation.
Made with: Created with sea salt and activated charcoal, to reflect Bailey's black and white coloring. As she grew older, there was more salt than pepper on her sweet face. An ideal bar for your sweet face.
Bailey was beside me (on her designated safe spot during soap making) for the making of every single bar of Little Cabin Soaps for the past 17 years. This bar...means so much to my heart. She was the first of my original pack, and she was the last to go. I cannot talk about or express the things this dog went through, and went through with me. She likely saved my life, putting hers at risk. I acted. We left, together. I had fierce love, fierce loyalty and a fierce bond with her. I hung on, she hung on, and the day she died, a part of me died too. I knew it was coming, so the first batch of Bailey was made with her by my side. This is the only time I've ever done an In Memory of soap before they were gone. I'm glad I did, I do look at the pictures.
Bailey smelled so good her entire life...sometimes sweet like graham crackers, sometimes like clean laundry, sometimes just like fresh air. It was uncanny.
Soap picks up the scents around it as it cures, so each batch - although unscented, often has a subtle scent that has come from other batches on the curing racks around it. So this bar has been intentionally left unscented, to pick up scents surrounding it, changing with each batch. Just as she smelled so sweet and clean, I hope this bar will have a subtle clean aroma that rotates with the seasons.
