Life is Yummy with Soap Factory
During a recent blog event at the 4th Level Mega Atrium of SM Megamall, a cute and colorful store caught my eye. For a minute, i thought it was a candy store or a bakeshop because everything inside looked so good enough to eat!
Ok, blame it on the fact that i haven’t had breakfast yet and the mouth-watering cupcakes, donuts, fruits, chocolates and cakes were so enticing. Now who would’ve thought that these were actually handmade soaps?
As i was browsing inside the store, one of the store staff was kind enough to assist and explain to me the different types of products they offer. Having sensitive skin, i was a bit reluctant at first to try their products. However, after sampling on their soaps, i later realized that they carry the most caring soap on earth.
Made from all natural ingredients, TLC (Tender Loving Care) soaps are formulated using plant-derived ingredients such as olive oil, shea/cocoa butter, moringa seed oil plus secret herbs and blends. All soaps are freshly made by hand, just like your favorite bread and pastries. See, i told you i was hungry!
Soap factory also carries other products called SOS therapeutic (Save our Skin) soaps, World’s Best, and Special Soaps. Their Yummy products are truly a delight to the senses! Not wanting to leave the store without making my purchase, i got myself a moisturizing cologne and the World’s Best soap which they dutifully cut into three pieces.
Here’s a friendly and useful tip: to help economize, you can actually ask the Soap Factory staff to cut your soap(s) into half or divide it into 3 parts before wrapping your purchase. Ok, i admit it… i’ve become frugal and a recessionista! (Recessionista: n. A person who dresses stylishly on a tight budget.)
The Soap Factory store is at the 3rd Level of SM North Edsa, The Block and 4th Level Mega Atrium at the SM Megamall.
