Don't you love the picture above? It is my husband and daughter in 2007. It is one of my favorites. I love her little arms around his neck. Cuuuutttteeee!
I am getting my chance to host a Father's Day Giveaway, courtesy of The Dirty Housewife.
The Dirty Housewife is a shop on Etsy that I couldn't pass up.

I couldn't stop looking through her shop after I spotted some of the names of the soaps. My favorite one was called The Milf!


Tell us a little bit about yourself?
"I am a mother of a bitchy almost teenager( whom I truly adore),an ambitiously creative "stay at home mom" and a Dirty House Wife. My background is in the Beauty Industry,Herbology, and arts.I also went to college for Photography. I am blessed with a peaceful and zen~like life with my husband, our daughter, 2 cats and 2 birds on the coast of New Hampshire.I am often sarcastic, I laugh ALOT, and would be lost as a human without animals,I think Fun is super Fun, my hands are always clean And I confess, I am a soap junkie. I cannot get enough. Ever."

How did you get started?
"I have 12 years in the Beauty Industry and a lifetime of art and Herbology and one day I just combined everything I knew and voila! I have always been fascinated with herbal and natural Beauty and Bath products so this seemed like the perfect avenue for me!"

Where do you get your inspiration?
" I get my inspiration from many different things. Some days it is just simply a color of the ocean, others a dessert. I also like to smell everything from dish detergent to herbs and find my daughter now has the same habit, so there we are in the grocery store aisles opening jars and taking lids off...I also like to peruse B&B shops and try to put the scents together in my head-almost like a guessing game I play with myself, and then head home to see how close I can duplicate it. Ahh cheap thrills!"

What do you love most about what you do?"I love the art of it! Each little bar is like another masterpiece to me. I love the preparation and blending of fragrances. I absolutely love the feelings that some blends can evoke, and I really love how they make my customers feel and react!"
