I hope these pictures have whet your appetite for the rest of the blog. I will say this quickly and then I will allow Ome Sanchez to tell you about her amazing products.
1. I cheated. I allowed Ome to pick product to send to me. But still go to the website for more delish product, www.dirtysailorgirl.com.
2. I could smell the soaps before I even opened the box. That is always a plus for me.
3. The packaging is Ah-ma-ZING!!! I cannot say that enough.
4. Each bar is worth the price. And she threw in the nifty little samples. Gotta love it!!
Each bar lathers quickly with thick bubbles in lukewarm to cool water. Always a sure sign that I am going to love the bar in the shower. The scent from each bar lingers gently on your skin. No sticky tacky residue once you have dried off. I love it. Now, I have decided to allow Ome to tell you the rest. We conduct a phone interview Monday and here it goes...
Hi!! How are you? I received your package today and I must say that I am happy that it only took 2 days to ship to me!! How long have you been making such wonderful products?
First let me say how thankful and humbled I am that you want to review my soaps and that you want to interview me. It is a little nerve wracking to have a fellow soaper review your product. I have been making soaps for 2 years.
Your packaging is amazing. I have never seen anything like this. Tell me about it.
I love glitter and shiny things and wanted a way to incorporate my love of glitter without heaping mounds of glitter, hence the rhinestone bands.
Well you did an awesome job. I am in love with your labels and packaging. I was loathe to take the bars out. How did you think to get that look. I love the dark and feminine contrast!
Well I was wanting to marry the love of antique and modern, masculine and edgy feminine. I designed and created my brand for women like me. Those who love luxury but are on a budget.
I can see that. If Steam-punk and a feminine counterpart it would be your branding. I love it. So what else do you have?
Currently we carry the Series 7 line. A playful take on the soft feminine with alluring heady mystery. Right now we carry body balms and body butters. Shower gels are a possibility in the future.
Let's take the Blush. I love this bar I cannot stop sniffing it. How do you come up with your blends and how long does it take?
A fragrance can take a few weeks to be complete and go into the final product. I don't shy away from fragrance oils. Essential and fragrance oils are a wonderful mix. I have the patience to ensure that whatever I come up with will be the best that I can offer to my clients.
I found out about you via the Cold Process Soapmaker Facebook page. Have you found these types of groups to be helpful in any kind of way?
Oh yes! I have found soap making forums to be a wonderful tool in discussing projects, ideas and to give and receive advice. There is a wealth of information on-line and the veterans in these groups have been a dream. It is so cool that I can ask a question at 10:45 at night and within few minutes there are at least 20 answers. You can't buy that kind of help.
So, are you looking at opening a brick and mortar any time soon?
A store could be in the future. Right now I am focused on establishing my brand, mastering my craft and spending time with my family.
Okay, last question, How did you come up with your company name?
The name is in honor of my husband who honorably served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years. He's the Dirty Sailor and I am just the 'Girl'.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have spoken with Ome and let me tell you she is anything but 'just the 'Girl''. She is passionate, focused, humble and thankful. I love her products. My daughter loves her products (darn little thief!!!). Go to her site and order!!
