Queen B Spotlights: SinkandSoak
I have recently had the opportunity to work with some amazing Etsy creators. One of these is Dorothy from SinkandSoak. She creates handcrafted soaps, bath bombs, and other products with natural, healthy ingredients.
I "met" Dorothy when she contacted me to inquire about purchasing some of my handcrafted, cotton bath puffs to include as part of a gift set with her all natural bar soap.
Of course I jumped at the chance to have my item featured alongside the work of such a talented creator. And I wanted to give all of you the chance to get to know a little about her and her work also.
Please tell the readers a little about yourself:
I am 47 years old and at the mother of two beautiful girls. One a senior in college and one a senior in high school. I work full time as a buyer and also run my small business making handmade bath and body products. Making cold processed soap is my passion and what I love most about what I do. I also enjoy nature and reading. And of course my husband and pets two!
How do you decide what fragrances you want to use for your soaps and
bath bombs? when I make soaps and bath bombs, I try to think of
fragrances that will be pleasing to people based on what season it is
and how I think they would want the products to make them feel when
using it and smelling it.

What was
your inspiration for starting 'SinkandSoak'?
I was inspired to start
Sink and Soak because I was a huge fan of Lush Cosmetics and love taking
baths every night. So buying all those soaps and bath bombs was
getting very pricey. I decided I was going to make some bath bombs for
home. Then I had family and friends telling me the bath bombs were
great and I should start selling them. I have always been interested in
soap making and had wanted to learn the process for years. I also
needed an outlet for my creativity as I used to oil paint years ago
before I had children. I had one daughter gone at college that I missed
so much and another growing up fast and soon to be leaving home so I
knew I needed a hobby to immerse myself in. So it seemed natural with
my love of art and of bathing to start a small business.

What would we
find you doing when you're not making bath products or running your
business?
I am either working at my day job purchasing electronic
parts, cooking, running my household, reading, or off sightseeing!
There is so much to see around the San Francisco Bay area. I also like
to curl up with my dog and relax and drink coffee. :)
Hmmm... she enjoys reading, sightseeing, and drinking coffee. If we didn't live on opposite sides of the country, I think there's a good chance we could be besties for sure!
Please stop by her shop and show her some love!
