I Love Dirty Loves Clean

Dirty Loves Clean is w o n d e r f u l. I showered with Guava Loves Yuzu this morning and I think I am in love once again. You all know I love yuzu, but throw in a tropical fruit to boot and you got me!

Guava Loves Yuzu

Not only does it smell wonderful, it looks beautiful and it has scrubby bits in the pink part! Sesame seeds, in fact, but I think they are ground up slightly because they don't seem as big as a seed. In any case, I love that only half of the bar is scrubby. Then it gave me the chance to scrub if I felt like it, and then for my more delicate areas, I could run smoothly with the bar. In addition to all of these lovely attributes, it has copious foaming properties! I was in the stream of the shower, picked up the bar and before I even got to rubbing it vigorously between my hands, it started to suds immediately after the first pass. Loved that. Shaving: Because the soap had amazing sudsy action, shaving was a dreamy non-irritating experience (thank goodness). I coated my legs with lather and then before I shaved, I rubbed my legs without the bar of soap and more lather came. The lather was having lather-babies! The lather was birthing in right in front of me! Soap babies.

One of the things I love about this one-woman company, is that some bars of soap are coupled with a neighborhood in New York which I love because I am a former New Yorker. For instance:

Greenpoint Baked Bread
Oh my goodness, this smells absolutely like freshly baked bread. I LOVE IT! I keep it right by my computer and snif it 4 or 5 times a day. Notice the wrap is made with a subway map (brilliant)

Manhattan Big Apple

Coney Island Beach

Williamsburg Lager

Where's Red Hook?

Michelle, thank you for sharing your soap. I think I love you!

The soap review will come once I've had a chance to use them I have run out of room in the shower, but since I just bought a suction cup soap holder at Wally World today, I'll be bringing one more soap chap in tomorrow!!

I just love getting clean!

Bathing With Dinner Rolls

I've reviewed Dirty Loves Clean before and was in love with the subway map packaging and the lathery soap Michelle sent to me, Guava Loves Yuzu. Today, it's all about the the un-doughy Greenpoint Baked Bread soap. It smelled AMAZING, but I wasn't sure about bathing with bread, but once I got into the shower, the scent took me to another place. I closed my eyes, the bar held up against my nose.... I could have been sitting at a table in a cafe with fresh steamy rolls! Not only does the smell of the soap amaze me, but this soap is a dream. Major lather, moisturizing... a wonderfully balanced bar.


I don't think everyone wants to bathe with freshly made dinner rolls, but I, for one, find it downright exotic. Who wants to bathe with bread? you ask.

I do.

Pass The Mojito, It's Summer, Baby!

Mmm. I don't think I've had a mojito in months and months. I almost forget what one tastes like. I wonder if any of these actually smell close to the real thing or if they are just visions of beauty that's easy on the eyes.

Ah, I have missed the searching for beauty. Good thing it's always out there to gaze upon you all. =)
