Only Four Drops!

I knew I was running low on my Raspberry Macaroon shower gel, but I was hoping I could make it last through the end of the summer. I know that as soon as the air turns even the tiniest bit crisp I’ll want to switch to a fall fragrance. There’s no way I’ll use a whole bottle of raspberry shower gel over the next three weeks so it would end up sitting all winter and who knows if I’ll want to be a raspberry macaroon next summer? I may want to be a cool berry, or a macadamia nut, or pina colada. I’m fickle that way.

So yesterday, I ran out. But being the clever penny-pincher that I am, I put a quarter inch of water in the bottle, shook it up and it lasted one more day. Then I forgot I was out. So this morning, when I grabbed my puff scrubby and went to pour shower gel on it, all I had was four watered-down drops. Seriously. I counted the four teensy drops as they fell onto the scrubby. Then I stood there trying to decide what to do. Do I drip all over my house while I make more? Or do I (shudder) use some of the old store-bought gel that I haven’t gotten around to throwing away yet?

In the throes of my dilemma, I suddenly realized I was unconsciously wringing my hands around my scrubby. I looked down and there were bubbles! I am not kidding you. Of course, it wasn’t the super rich, decadent lather that I usually indulge in, but FOUR DROPS produced enough lather to wash my entire body! FOUR WATERED-DOWN DROPS!

This stuff is amazing.

This One is Just Right!

I have a friend who loves strawberry scented perfume. She has strawberry and vanilla, strawberry and musk, strawberry and spice. She even has a strawberry and chocolate spray.

The trouble is, she's having a hard time finding one that's just right. They have a little too much musk or not quite enough vanilla.

A lot of women have that problem. Maybe you like Freesia, but all of the Freesia perfumes you try are overpowering. Or maybe you love Green Tea but no one makes it quite strong enough. Or maybe you've found an almost perfect mix of Cedarwood, Pine and Musk for your husband—but you'd like it even more if it had a dash of Cinnamon in it.

That's the beauty of Urban Botanic. With our 66 oils, you can create something that fits you perfectly. You choose the ingredients. You choose the fragrance ratios. You even get to choose the name.

And my friend? She can finally have a strawberry concoction that's exactly the way she wants it!
