SONG OF THE DAY+LOOK OF THE DAY


Today's song of the day is one of my favorite songs, "The Greatest," by Cat Power. And today's look of the day is one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood right now, Zoe Saldana. In this picture the adorable Saldana is wearing a sheer layered tank top with a textured mini skirt by MaxMara and YSL pumps. This outfit definitely complimented the actress's little frame.

Men Hooked on Pretty Soaps!


Sudz 'N Bubbles, an online boutique specializing in handmade soaps is apparently appealing to a lot of men out there. According to Cindy Tollen, the owner and founder of Sudz 'N Bubbles, her fastest growing clientele is men. Sudz 'N Bubbles creates all natural glycerin soaps as well as bath salts, lotions, shower gels, body butters and lip balms. Cindy started the company 4 years ago when her son's doctor suggested that he bath with glycerin soap for his eczema. Cindy discovered that glycerin soap was very costly and invested in making her own soaps. Apparently most soaps are detergent based but glycerin-based soap is an all natural soap that leaves the skin much more moisturized and fresh. Sudz 'N Bubbles even has an adorable collection of soaps called, Bubblin Bakery line. This consists of a collection of soaps that look like delicious pastries such as, Strawberry Creme Pie Soap, or Cherry Tart Soap. The soaps don't just look like desserts but smell like them too. So why do men love them? Apparently they love how the soap leaves their skin a lot smoother than ordinary soaps. "I literally have to conduct business like a drug dealer with some of my clients. I have local customers insist we talk in private and only communicate through text messages," says Cindy. Most of the men order the old pure soaps, but Cindy admits that there are some who are not afraid of the pretty scented soaps and have ordered special orders of soaps with customized fragrances. Cindy has even included a soap designed to remove the human scent and it smells like dirt. It doesn't get any manlier than that! This is considered to be the manliest of all her soaps and a lot of her male clients get a kick out of it. Think your man could get hooked?
