I am in the process of updating Maryam's Soap Nook (the site) with new fragrances that I am excited about, and I'm sure you will love them.
I have also added a new product to the line called "Foaming Sugar Whip". It's a foaming sugar scrub that is decadent especially when coupled with the whipped shea monoi body butter and luxury body mists.
I have dedicated a majority of Spring 2008 and Summer 2008 to searching out some new scents for you, and although the majority of them are posted to the site, I recently found even more that I am lemming for in a very bad way, I've decided to share them with you, and any feedback from you is always welcomed.
I will list my scent lemmings for the site (that is because that they are without a doubt in my mind totally awesome).
I may also introduce the 4 ounce floral lid container for the whipped shea monoi body butters to the site as well. (That is pending).
