I stumbled upon Dirty Sanchez about a year ago and was impressed with her soaps then and I'm still impressed, although I have yet to try them. I think it's time for me to place an order today. I love this bar. It is rustic, balanced, beautiful and is the perfect soap, really. I mean, when I'm in the shower, I like to softly soap up most of my body, but then my feet, my lower legs and my arms all need a rough scrub.Doesn't it look fantastic?? I just looked at it again and it kind of looks like pressed brown sugar with crushed almonds and butter. Okay, now I really need it. ;)
pedicure :: by Dirty SanchezDescription on Etsy copied verbatim (LOVE it!):
imagine thunderdome here... but instead of two men entering and one man leaving, it’s your nasty-ass jacked-up feet versus my totally rad pedicure bar. the opponents face off... the battle rages... the crowd draws a collective gasp... who wins? everyone! because feet are gross, and we all owe it to each other to keep our own as less-gross as possible. to that end, i offer you this double-layered pedicure soap. one half is a super-scratchy (dude, don’t wash your face with this, okay? seriously, the thunderdome thing was just a metaphor, and nobody really wants to see your gashed-up facemeat at the breakfast table) mix of sea salt, apricot seed scrub, and pumice; the other half is a smooth, creamy blend of cocoa butter and other emollient oils. it’s scented throughout with eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint, for the full denastifying at-home spa experience. and after enjoying the effects of your new soap, do feel free to put on a thick pair of socks and closed-toed shoes, and hide your shame from the world.

Do you know what Jo? We're hangin' out in the same tree here..I just did a great thing. I have my fave stores set up in etsy. I love bedtime reading and so I printed off some pics and descriptions of the soaps I love to look at..and this one soap in particular has had me reeling with excitement..I haven't ordered it but I do keep looking at it.

You described that bar of soap to a T! It sure does look like it would taste like an almond cookie mmmm...
ReplyDeleteNot only does the soap look great and very interesting. But the description really grabs you. I have been trying to get creative with my descriptions but some people are really the masters at it.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered from Dirty Sanchez recently as well - she grabbed me with the awesome descriptions and I've been lusting after her soaps forever. Finally broke down and got the sampler and one of the beer soaps :D
