On Soap

Who makes soap that actually results in a bigger mess than you started with? Bath and Body Works, that's who. Darn you BBW soap designers with your fancy "Holiday Scents" and your bewitching "Holiday Sale!" You got me good. Winter Candy Apple, Vanilla Bean Noel, Twisted Peppermint, you all looked so lovely in your colored bottles. You promised me moisturized, 99% germ-free, smelling good hands for a low, low price and I bought it. You. It. Gah.

What did I get? A veritable disaster in my sink, that's what. Gobs of soap clumps stuck in every crevice. After a day of hand washing I scrub, scrub, scrub out the remains of your promise and watch my money swirl down the drain. I will remember you next year...and give you as gifts instead!
