My mother just sent me a bar of soap from New Brunswick company Lavish. I mention it here because this bar is two tasty-looking layers of brown sugar and raspberry. The soap itself is nice and mild, but it smells delicious. This is not the first time I've wanted to lick a bar of Lavish, and no wonder - it's made from coconut, olive, and sunflower seed oils.Diane Peacock, Lavish founder and resident soapiére admits that she's always been intrigued by the the idea that soap and other things like it can appeal "not only to the sense of smell but also to taste." No surprise that Lavish also comes in Blueberry Fields, Oatmeal Buttermilk, and Anise, Basil and Bay. Diane has also created such 'flavours' as Honeydew Cantaloupe, Almond Goat's Milk, and Maple Swirl. A few years ago, she even added lip smacking balms in licorice, creamsicle, and orange and clove.
Lavish is available at the Boyce Farmer's Market in Fredericton for $3.50 a bar. If you're not going on a road trip, email lavish@nbnet.nb.ca to place an order.

What Riva failed to mention is that the soap was part of her Birthday pacakge, not just that the mother had sent her a parcel. And she is correct about the soaps. It is soooooo hard to make up ones mind what to buy, so the easy out is the "sampler Package". And then you still have to decide amongst a choice of those. The soap is the greatest, and the lady who sells them is just so sweet. It is a treat to deal with her.
