I live for these most fulfilling experiences.

When it comes to my artwork, I’m obsessed with composition, patterns, themes, and color schemes. Pushing this into motion, I strive to create each Florence Frame as a unique and finely crafted piece of art to hold and present your most precious memories. It’s marvelously fulfilling for me to visualize, plan, and bring each collaged frame to life with my ‘stamp’ of approval.  I stand behind my craftwork and each Florence Frame as a high quality work.”

I call Twenty Thou, “my own personal bailout”. My goal is to sell 20,000 handmade items to pay off my student loan debt.  My prices range from $5 – $35 dollars, with the majority of items priced at $10. I make jewelry and accessories for both men and women, and I also make other accessories such as record bowls and laptop covers from recycled materials. I love using copper, glass, and semi precious stones.

We love all things soapy and clean, particularly the handmade stuff. The Dirty Business Bath Company was started out of our genuine love for creating beautiful, beneficial, as well as affordable, bath and body products. We think everyone should have a super cool, bad ass bar of soap, lotion, scrub, or salt that they love to use, and that loves their skin in return. We make all of our products from natural ingredients. We pledge that there are no artificial colors, fragrances or additives in any of our products. Our entire line is also vegan friendly.

About Us
From bar soaps to sugar scrubs, we formulate and create all of our own products to ensure that you are receiving products of the finest quality. We also have a damn good time doing it, and hope that you enjoy washing your naughty bits with our stuff as much as we enjoy creating it.
