You Can Find Me in the Shower…
Seriously – because I have amazing new soap!
The always elegant Shelley Greenberg, perhaps better known as @thespottedduck, recently did a giveaway on her blog that got me pretty excited. To a commenter chosen at random, she was giving away a bar of soap from DeShawn Marie, a Boston-based artist/magician/creator of all-natural, gorgeously unique handmade soaps. Needless to say, I asked Shelley if it would be OK if I entered 1,000 times, since I love cool soaps (and fancy soaps, too, RL), but to be fair I could only get one shot. Well, toss me in the shower and pat me dry, I am one lucky girl – I won the soap!
I chose Grapefruit Orange. I love citrusy scents in the spring and summer; consequently, my favorite lotion of all time, space and energy is Jo Malone Grapefruit, so I figured DeShawn Marie’s Grapefruit Orange would be a perfect complement. My lucky bar arrived today, so naturally I had to take some pictures. Check ‘em out:
The scent is heaven – I can’t wait to lather up! Thanks to Shelley and Deshawn Marie for putting together a wonderful giveaway. And everyone should definitely check out DeShawn Marie’s other products as well. I know I’ll definitely be trying some different types – she makes all sorts of handrolled soaps that are really pretty - so take a look yourself. And geez, stinkbomb, take a shower.

Yay! So glad you won the first giveaway!
I feel like only us girls get so excited about soap! It’s great to receive nice ones for gifts. I too agree… citrus scents are a great way to start your day during the summer.
Thank you Amanda for such a nice write up. I’m so happy you are enjoying the soap :)
I love DeShawn Marie’s soaps! You should try the rose! I love the way her soap lathers. Congrats on winning!
