Now that we’re in February, I have been trying to re-evaluate my exercise routine, which has basically disappeared. I know many people are just too busy with day to day responsibilities that New Years Resolutions of exercise, working out or dieting seem to become a low priority. If you are in South Orange County, you may want to check out Renaissance ClubSport to liven up your exercise routine.
A while back I was contacted by the inventors of Soapsox. They were trying to get the word out about their adorable little invention and the Kickstarter Campaign.
Founder, Ray Phillips came up with the idea of making bathtime fun while working in a residential treatment facility for abused children. One of the children, attached to a favorite stuffed animal, would not part with him for a bath, and Soapsox was born.
Soapsox are adorable animals that have an inner pocket to hold a bar of soap, or a squirt of body wash.
