Cutting Back

Like any good taskmaster, our Economy demands certain things from us.  Certain sacrifices.

Yes, I have anthropomorphized the economy.  What of it?

I like having a nice hand soap in the bathroom and had a particular obsession with Molton Brown's Naran Ji scent.



But as the Economy started thrashing in its death rattle, something about spending $25 on hand soap felt a little wrong.

Not cheating on your taxes wrong, but maybe swiping some pens from the office wrong.

So I searched for an alternative.

Something that would be pretty on the sink, have a light scent, but not cloying.

And I hit the nail on the head my first time out.



It smells awesome, is available at my local Whole Foods, and best of all, costs less than a complicated order at Starbucks.

Much better for These Economic Times.

THe sentence "Not cheating on your taxes wrong, but maybe swiping some pens from the office wrong" made me LOL. Thank you for a brighter Friday :) PS - I love that hand soap, also love Burts Bees :)

Awesome blog! I'm laughing right now because I can relate to almost all of your posts in a weird dejavu kind of way. Here's my pick for affordable hand soap. (And the bottle is pretty too~)

These are some interesting options for cutting down your cosmetic cost. If the products are good then no wonder it can be a good option. :D
