AND THE WINNERS ARE....

Forbidden Love by Pacific Paradise Soap

Thank goodness this magnificent alluring moisturizing soap is not as forbidden as the secret marriage ceremonies given by Saint Valentine during the tumultuous times of the Roman Empire. Back then there was a ban on marriage, and the kindly bishop Valentine realized the injustice of the decree. Even though he was impressive by his dignity and conviction, Valentine was martyred for refusing to renounce his religion on February 14, 270 AD. Thus 14th February became a day for all lovers and Valentine became its Patron Saint.

I’m glad it’s not forbidden how good this Valentine’s Gift Bag of Handcrafted Soap smells. A beautiful ivory organza bag is filled with a marriage of Plumeria and Ocean handcrafted luxurious heart soaps. The 4.1 ozs of soap include 3 Plumeria heart soaps enriched with Shea butter and Mango butter, 2 hearts beat as 1 Plumeria soap enriched with Shea butter and Mango butter and a Blue Pacific Ocean Waves heart soap enriched with Mango butter. Let the joy that life can contain unfold itself for you.
