Long Time Gone (But, back with a pithy product review!)

It's been a REALLY long time since I've posted and holy heckballs has my life changed.  Girl About Town, living in LA, has become Girl About the House, living in PA.  And, the only dates I can write about are playdates.

Phew.

I now have thought-fodder of a different sort to delight your days.  No longer will I write of short, angry Italians or eerie Hollywood writers in flashy sports cars.  Because now my fun and comic relief comes from a short, happy, part-Italian kid and an ex pro soccer player/recruiter in a silver Nissan. 

And, reviews.  I have reviews.  

So, here goes...right out of the starting gate,  my review of something very near and dear to my hot bath-loving heart:  Eminence Organic Apricot Body Oil  

It's meant to be a daily body-lotion-like body oil, but just, no.   After a week of trying to use it as is was intended (Damn you, Goop article) my scaly skin resembled that of the creature-dude from The Shape of Water only slightly less sexy and dramatic.  

But then this happened---> Totally out of Egyptian clay for my nightly soak, I next-best-thinged it, with the ill-purchased body oil. 

Cue the angel voices.  

It smelled ah-mazing while steeping in hot tub water, and transformed Creature-from-the-Black-Lagoon into born-after-1995-and-lunches-on-Robertson.   Also, it's a clean product with no gunky junk in it- check plus.  A small Alice-in-Wonderland-Drink-Me sized bottle is a whopping $29 but, as it is oil and not body lotion (ahem) it lasts a good long time- check plus plus.  Color me hook, line and sinkered on this product.

Now, go forth!  Pour, soak and conquer.  But...

Legal-ish stuff:  I do not have any affiliations or partnerships with any products (yet!) and I am not paid to write about anyone or any thing (sad clown face). All reviews are just my opinions.  Also, I am not a doctor nor am I recommending any product. I''m just a girl in the world, sharing her favs and not-so-favs. 

So, if you try a product and it causes you to break out in nickel-sized lesions that mutate into some oozy version of the Ebola virus don't come crying to me in emojis and all caps.  

Love and Rockets,
Girl About Town
