Record-breaking heat, Gorgeouses. It was BEYOND hot here in Toronto this weekend. BE-YOND. And, guess whose air conditioning decided to go on strike? Give up? MINE! I’ve been a HOT SWEATY MESS all weekend. So much for my new haircut — I put it up in a bun almost as soon as I left the salon. More on all that at Cheaty Monkey.
We’ve been keeping cool by blasting our TWO WHOLE fans: one upstairs and one downstairs. But, OBVIOUSLY, that’s not enough.
Even a cool shower wasn’t enough.
Until….
I cracked open the HOLY GRAIL OF THE COOL! Avalon Organics Pepermint Bath and Shower Gel….
Lathering this up all over my HOT BAWD (I said HOT, not HOTT) was sheer pleasure this evening. I can’t even tell you how wonderfully cold it was on my HOT skin. And, when I inhaled its minty scent, I felt completely rejuvenated. In one inhalation of it’s fragrant fumes, and I went from feeling like this….
to feeling like this….
Girl Talk, Spa, by Jennifer Brinley.
Ahhhhhh. Totally refreshed and relaxed….
It’s great as a bubble bath, and for allergies, clearing the sinuses (an organic alternative to Vics…).
Minty fresh….
You can get it at any health-food store….
Cheaty highly recommends!

Ironic that you post about this, I just read your contest blog and posted that the product I would love to try is their mint body wash! I LOVE mint anything! Mint shampoo is the best, it tingles for hours afterwards!!!
I’ll have to try out this wash! Thanks for the recommendation.

I’d never recommend this product over the Pure-and-Simple one — which I HAVE and love, by the way. I’d recommend this one sheerly for the FUMES!!!
But, not for skincare. Anything that fumy can’t be what’s best for your skin. (Which is not to say that this isn’t a good skincare product. When I run out of my Pure + Simple peppermint wash, I turn to this one in the interim, no problem).
Also, the Pure + Simple one is good for face and body. Not as strong on the mint, though, but better for your skin. And, I would never use the Avalon one (above) on my face.
