Kiss My Face Peace Soap

Like a lot of people, my mother taught me valuable lessons throughout my childhood, adolescence and into early adulthood when I was still somewhat impressionable.

Don't even bother to open the bill if you can't afford to pay it. 

Never match your shoes to your handbag.

Money does you no good when you're dead.

And so the other night when a friend asked me if I had savings I said yes, but not the conventional kind with interest and tax rebates. I bank in karma. Which is why Kiss My Face Peace Soap is ideal. It satisfies both my affinity to vanity and my need to do some good in the world no matter how small.

Peace Soap is made from pure castille soap and comes in a number of "flavours", from lavender mandarin to lemongrass clary sage, to grassy mint. It's biodegradable, paraben free and contains no artificial fragrances. And it also makes a huge contribution to the karma bank every time I buy it!

Proceeds (10% of profit) from the purchase of every Peace Soap go toward an organization called Seeds of Peace. Its mandate? To bring together youth from conflicted countries like India and Pakistan and Isreal and Palestine, and create an environment where they can learn from each other and see that the "enemy" can actually be an ally.
