Cashew and Tofu ricotta ....in Jack’s hands this can only mean one thing ... absolute carnage.

Oh, man. That would completely dry out the skin. You'd have to spend a fortune on moisturiser afterwards.

Not much oil in a dried out peel, either - the VOCs evaporate - unless she means she's actually adding the essential oil mentioned on the label? Chances are that if oil were added, by the time you dug the solidified lump of salt out of the bottle with a chopstick, that would have evaporated as well.

If salt is salt, the next time I go to the chippy, I'm going to ask the man who works there if he can sling some in a container for me so I can use it in my bath. I'm sure he'll happily oblige!

When I was young, I once asked my parents if my grandma was poor because she fried her own chips rather than buy them from the chip shop 🤷‍♀️ side note but my grandma once substituted sugar puffs for pearl barley in a stew and I wish that were a lie 😬 (Actually brb while I submit that for jack's next book)

Those rank bath salts would bring me out in a rash.

Mixed herbs!? Hmmmm love a bath that smells like a pasta sauce.

Does anyone else really like the natural pH balance of their bits so SHAN’T be salting them?
This was my first thought when I saw this. Any savings made on the salt would be directly carried over to the cranberry juice and Canesten duo budget!

So apparently the table salt variety is heavily processed to make it fine, on the way it loses most of the minerals you would want in a salt bath, like the magnesium.
Sea salt retains more of these minerals, so sea salt would be preferable than table salt.
Even better would be fecking bath salts.

Can someone point me in the direction of a muscle-relaxing spa scrub for 2p?
Now the gritter lorries are out, what better time to grab a handful of salt from your nearest main road, and treat yourself to an invigorating scrub.

Afterwards. don't forget to slap on plenty of lard for an intense moisturising experence!

I was just figuring out how to ask a question at tomorrow's town hall (full company meeting in American speak) that contained mendacious and she's upping the ante. It would be disingenuous of me to pretend I wasn't annoyed.
Send cattos, doggos, rabbos and brambly mice immediately!

Edit: she's gone ‘abrogated’ - not sure if this will translate well to the global crowd. A long night ahead of me!

I feel duty bound to report that I’m a blethering idiot who can’t type or re-read my own words properly, hence I have a hate-hate relationship with auto-carrot. Aka 🥕
Any resemblance to other characters, living or dead, or Captain mouse, is purely coincidental

Edit forgot the 🥕 see what I mean?
