Stop and smell the goodies . . . (a giveaway)

Here's a little secret about me. I like to smell like food. Soap, lip balm, lotion, perfume...

It took me a good 2 months to find a perfume because I wanted vanilla-y, but not too vanilla-y...know what I mean? {I decided MAC MV2, in case you are really curious.}


In December, I discovered this little shop called Great Cakes Soapworks. I was looking for a lip balm...everything was making my lips MORE dry...and decided to try Great Cakes Lip Butter (in Vanilla Latte...back in stock Wednesday, btw).

OH MY. It rocked my world! Not only were my lips soft, they smelled heavenly. For weeks after getting it, I would walk around the house thinking, "what smells so good?" It was my lips! ;)

I also tried the peppermint soap. Totally lovely, rich, peppermint-y, and left my skin so moisturized.


When I talked to Amy about a giveaway, she sent me two "foodie" soaps to try Oatmeal, Milk & Honey and Moroccan Spice.

Oatmeal, Milk & Honey smells so pure and clean. I imagine it's the kind of soap Sandra Dee would have used in Grease. Milk, Honey, Oatmeal...perfect for layering with any other scent.

Moroccan Spice has coffee grounds for a little exfoliation. Every time I used it, I felt like I had been to the spa. The scent is spicy and wonderful...and is great for men, too.

Great Cakes even makes PEANUT BUTTER soaps!!! Those may be next on my list! I love that these soaps are handmade and natural. I think they last longer than those bottles of shower gel I had been buying.

Great Cakes Soapworks is generously giving one Bake at 350 reader...
  • one bar Oatmeal, Milk & Honey
  • one bar Moroccan Spice
  • one bar soap of your choice
  • one lip butter of your choice
How's THAT for smelling good?!?
