Water Not Included

One routine that I cannot skip, for even a day, is showering.  There’s something that happens 24 hours after your last bath.  You start feeling icky, sticky, stinky and all around not fresh.  I like to be fresh.

But, there have been a few times in my life that I was without a beloved shower and it turned me into a cranky mess.  Times such as going to a beach and not having any body wash or shampoo to rinse off with, or better yet going camping in a remote area and not having a shower.  Neither one of those situations cut it for this girl.

Thankfully for me, and all the people in the world like me, there is a solution to this pesky problem and it’s called No Rinse.  All you’ll need to feel clean and refreshed is a quart size bucket of water and a wash cloth.  No Rinse works by diluting four capfuls into a quart of water and then you just sponge it on your skin and towel dry.  It’s been used for years by hospitals and NASA and now it’s a staple on the shelves of stores such as REI.

It might not compare to a warm bath with your favorite body wash, but when you have salt water all over your body and your boyfriend wants to grab a bite right after the beach, this might just turn into your new best friend.  Plus, I love the market they’re reaching out to:  campers, military, truckers, hunters…they need a new line that says girly girls (or what have you).
