Breakfast Bar

Some soaps get you downright squeaky clean, as though you were dirty as a pig in mud before. When you lather up they make you want to scrub away for hours and forget about wasting water or the neighborhood drought.

But few soaps can double as a breakfast bar. Lush’s new Porridge Soap may be one of them. Made with oats and OJ, this bar puts any Cheerios box to shame. It exfoliates and lathers up into brown mushiness and slobbers your skin with moisturizers like sweet orange oil. It’s recommended for people with eczema too and banishes toxins in a way that no Congress pollution bill can.

Does it smell of oats? No! The scent is molasses, and not too strong. I’m lovin’ this lush life.
