Bailey

Smells like: Something you didn't know you love but you love it so much, more than you could imagine. Spicy, pungent, green and sweet --- beloved fennel. This aromatic is one you know, it's complex and complicated, draws you in to experience all the layers it contains. 
Made with: Whole milk, activated charcoal, skin loving shea butter and essential oil.
 
Bailey was part of my soaping inspiration for every batch made in her lifetime, almost two decades. This bar...means so much to my heart. She was the first of my original pack, and she was  the last to go. I cannot talk about or express the things this dog went through, and went through with me. She likely saved my life, putting hers at risk. I acted. We left, together as a pack, as a family, safely and swiftly. I had fierce love, fierce loyalty and a fierce bond with her. I lifted her, she lifted me, and the day she died, a part of me died too. I knew it was coming, so the first batch of Bailey was made with her by my side. This is the only time I've ever done an In Memory of soap before they were but a memory.
 
Bailey was an intense cattle dog. She was a handful right out of the chute, she was not for everyone. She was passionate, focused, devoted and loyal like nothing I've ever seen. This batch of Bailey honors her, liker her it's not for everyone. But maybe, just maybe, like her - this is the favorite you didn't know you had. Try it, whether it's your new favorite or not, smile as you use it and know you honor her memory and warm my heart.
