I know what you’re thinking… Just another soap, right? Wrong! Jaboneria Marianalla is special for a number of reasons. First: the soaps smell awesome. Second: my friend makes them, with his mother. Third: they look awesome. Four: they contain rejuvenating and antioxidant components, are 100% natural and made in the USA. Five: they last forever. And six: they make great Christmas presents!

The soaps are available now on marianellasoap.com and on net-a-porter.com from December 16th, but because all of you have been very nice, and not naughty, I am giving five crafty readers a three-soap gift box! All you have to do is follow @jxxsy and @marianellasoap on instagram, create a photo inspired by one of the colors of the soaps (blue, lavender, yellow, red, orange, green and grey) and post it with the hashtag #whatcolordoyoulove. I will make my choice for the best photos in just one week and announce the happy readers. So get snapping!
