I Hate To Clean

I love to cook, but it's no secret that I hate to clean. I'd love to hire a cleaning person but, because I'm insane, I'd feel the need to clean before she arrived in order to prevent her from thinking I'm a slob, thereby negating the purpose of hiring her in the first place.

However, I do love to wash dishes, and one of the reasons dish-washing is so pleasant to me (beyond the soothing feeling of hot water on my hands, and being able to look out my kitchen window at the birds in the trees and the neighbors in their living rooms) is the luscious scent of my Mrs. Meyer's Geranium dish soap, which to me smells particularly like Rose Geranium instead of plain old Geranium.

And, speaking of Rose Geranium, if you're lucky enough to grow your own Rose Geranium, you must try this Rose Geranium Sangria. It is divine!

Beyond the scent of this yummy dish soap are the facts that it biodegrades, is friendly to our planet, gets dishes squeaky clean, cuts grease like a dream, and is very cost-efficient, as a little goes a long, long way.

I use nearly every product in the Geranium line, and they do what they say they'll do, all while intoxicating me with their essential-oil-based scent.

I have to admit I tried the Lemon Verbana (a scent I usually like) dish soap when my grocery store was out of the Geranium, and I hated it. My fiance loved it though, so he took it home with him. Fragrance is a very personal thing, and I am loyal to Mrs. Meyer's Geranium.

Susie and Allison are all about the things that make you go Mmmmmmm...

Sharing is caring...write to us.

We do it in 140 characters or less. We also do that thing with our face.

Susie lives in Los Angeles. She likes to relax and have fun...always has, always will. When she was a little girl and her mother asked her what it was she loved to do, that thing she would do even if no one paid her, she replied, "Laugh with my friends, lay in bed, listen to music, read and eat really good food". She still loves to do all those things and still does not get paid to do them.... but she's an eternal optimist and she's not dead yet. It could happen.

Allison lives in a treehouse in New York City. She likes forensics, flea markets, costumes, lip gloss, writing, antiques, eating while reading in bed, clouds viewed from above, photography, the flavors of rose and cardamom, texting, doors, laughing til her face hurts, tea, truth tellers, wedding shows, farm markets, fireplaces, snacks, jury duty, olives, cowboy boots, pin-up girls, animals, vintage dresses, an economy of words and hanging out in her underwear.
