Lather Blather
My petty, trifling prayers have been answered! See, I had grown bored after years and years of the same old Dr. Bronner fandango. With each passing bottle, the choice between Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Almond, and Lavender (boo on Tea Tree and, um, unscented? As if.) grew increasingly meaningless, as the initial thrill has long passed into memory, succeeded by a longing for newness and radicality. I know I'm not alone in this because once at a La Monte Young Dream House installation, I used the bathroom and lining the sink were small bottles with taped-on labels describing the relative mixtures of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Almond in each. Crazy! Kind of like the installation! Ahh, West Coast minimalism.
But I digress! Dr. Bronner's has just released TWO NEW SCENTS FOR THE LIQUID SOAP! Rose and Citrus! Spring has sprung!
n.b.: if you don't already know about and use Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, you are insane and Hate Our Mother Earth. Get thee to a Dr. Bronnery and pick up a bottle or five.

I just saw this comments about Dr. Bronner on Organic Consumers website and decided to share:
"My experience with Dr. Bronner is as follows. My daughter uses Dr. Bronner for shower and the first (and last) time I used the Bronner soap during one of my visits. While lathering up I immediately experienced the most awful & painful burning in my private area - even after repeated splashing ice cold water in that area for half-an-hour. I felt a lessor burning sensitivity for an additional 2 days.
Normally, I'm tough-skinned. But I will NEVER use Dr. Bronner soaps for anything again."
