You know how you get those scrubs for your bath that come in old timey glass jars, and sometimes with a tiny wooden spoon, and it’s salt or sugar and oil and then a bunch of smelly stuff and you are always so excited about these quirky glass pots of goo to rub all over your bod in the shower, so you buy one even though they’re kind of expensive and you use it for two seconds before you’re weaving all over like a drunk baby giraffe on ice skates because the oil is coating the bottom of your tub, and if you’re lucky you regain your balance and manage to keep upright until the slick stuff is washed away, but if you are me, and I am, you wind up fallen over, half out of the tub with the shower curtain yanked down and wrapped around your upper torso while the shower hits you square in your naked, sorry behind, and you think to yourself from under a suffocating layer of fabric and vinyl, “I am never buying that stuff AGAIN!  Ev-ar.”)?

Please, for the love, say this isn’t just me.

So ANYway, this scrub from Metropolis Body will NOT give you Drunk Baby Giraffe Syndrome, because it’s made with only the tiniest amount of oil.  (I asked the very friendly lady* who made it if she had even used any at all.  It was being sold at the Renegade Craft Fair.)   I applied a little to the back of my hand, and was surprised at how dry it was. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before; it’s not goopy, it smells great, and it doesn’t come in a cute-but-totally-driving-up-the-cost glass jar, which, by the way, GLASS IN THE SHOWER? It’s bad enough to worry about concussions from falling without being afraid of stitiches, too.  You know?
