In A Divinely Super Lather


Lady, you know, you probably just need to get out more. I know what it's like - getting into the same routine day after day (tell me about it!) and - you know - doing the same things, going to the same places.

But when you start cuddling the soap suds, it's probably time to take a little vacation.

These are ordinary soap suds, you see. Not "beauty lather." Not divine, not super. Not new.

Not like "washing with spring rain." Rain is not soapy (if it is, you may want to consider a water filter). And if it rinses thoroughly, that really shouldn't be a surprise. This is what soap does. You lather up, you scrub a little, you rinse. The end.

Super-creamed, super-lovely, super-loopy. Just put the soap suds down, dear, and go lie down. We understand. Everyone has days like this. Only - we don't all start playing with bars of soap.

I'll admit I have never heard of this brand of soap. So of course I had to research it - that's what I do. :)


"Swans are a symbol for that which is pure and clean... their down is prized for its softness..."

See, and I thought they were just an overgrown goose. Shows what I know.

Makes you wonder if they were super short on skilled ad men - or thesauruses - that week ;D


Thank you very much for the awesome and hugely appreciated smiles your wonderful site brings my way!

Max - The swan is known for being a divinely super bird, too. Plus it makes very good soap, I hear.

Jessica - Thank you! Your site is a treat for me, too, I am so glad I found you!:)
