Here is a picture of the new confetti Moroccan Mint soap that I had created for hubby. I was jazzed. The colors were bright and the smell was right on the mark. I gave it a few days and the blues & greens started popping even more. Got a great shape, cool looking top, and I knew I was on top of the world. I proudly showed him my labor of love, knowing he would recognize I was queen of his shower. Then, I had a comment from hubby that threw me for a loop! “It’s too pretty for a guy’s soap.” Huh???? I was floored.
Ok, I know the guys don’t want to run around smelling like they rolled in a flower bed. I get that they avoid the frilly, sweet, and cute items. Those are for the girls, they tell me. I hand a guy a bar of woodsy, musky, or beer soap and they get all excited. But to say it’s too pretty?? A guy can’t have a bar of soap look interesting? It’s not like you’re going to place it on your desk at work or parade it down the street. (Or do you? Now I’m curious.) Can’t a guy have something interesting to look at in the shower besides the walls?
So readers, what do you think? Is this too pretty for a guy’s soap? Should I keep the guys in natural colored soaps only? Or should I just smile at his comment and keep at it?
Happy Washing!
