Caurnie Soap

It’s amazing the medicinal qualities that soap can have. I mean, apart from the bogstandard washing qualities, depending on which soap you get, you might be able to calm your nerves or wake yourself up in the morning just be scrubbing yourself clean.
I always make the mistake of thinking this soap stall is actually a cheese stall – all my own fault, in any case, as it seems I want the whole world to be made of cheese. They have a huge variety of soaps, from lemongrass to lavender, and the really interesting nettle soap. I’m always amazed at how nettles can be turned into anything from tea to soup to soap!
My flatmate, during my dissertation-​writing-​month, decided I was way too stressed out and got me some soap that was so fragrant it woke me up as soon as I stepped in the shower. And I almost forgot to mention, they sell nettle shampoo too!
Caurnie Soap is at the Farmer’s Market every Saturday, without fail. So, go ahead and get someone something fragrant and calming as a present.
