First-Person Soap Reviews: Brushing Your Teeth with Body Wash

July 24, 2008 at 3:50 PM | by | Comments (3)

Jaunted editor Paul Brady just gave Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Castile Soap a whirl.

So my first thought was, Are there really 18 things you can do with soap? But apparently there are, at least according to the vegans at Dr. Bronner's, who make an 18-in-1 Castile Soap. As I wanted to confine my test to showertime, I can only vouch for a few of them, but overall, I liked this stuff.

First up was the body wash test: It only took a few drops to work up a lather, though it wasn't quite as foamy as I'm used to. But adding a couple more drops to the mix quickly multiplied the suds. So far, so good.

Travel Gear Tested: The PamBee Travel Set

December 17, 2007 at 4:20 PM | by | Comments (0)

HotelChatter editor Juliana gave the PamBee Travel Set a try. Her verdict? It's Jaunted Approved.

I hate flying. I hate it with a passion. I love hotels and travel but I hate flying. And I don't think I'm in the wrong here. About the only people who do like flying are those cock-eyed optimists over at Jet Lagged.

Thus, due to my hatred of security lines, drafty air cabins, crying babies, rude flight attendants and gruesome airport delays, I'm a sucker for any small comfort on a flight.

I'll pack a mini-backgammon/chess set in case of delays or boredom, whichever comes first. I stuff my carry-on bag with magazines and my tattered book of crossword puzzles. I pack three tubes of lip balm in case I lose one or two under the seat. Same can be said for packs of gum, tissues and tubes of Airborne.

But the PamBee Travel Set gives me more comfort than all that stuff.
