All Dried Out?!



Now, there's something I do every morning and evening as a kind of ritual. It's something that most of you girls will do, and some of the well-trained guys. I wash my face and slap on some moisturiser. This is in the name of:

a. Preventing total dessication of my countenance by the elements
b. A futile gesture to the inevitability of the ageing process, doomed as I am.

However, recently this simple action has taken on a whole new dimension, and has given me (would you believe it!?) a spiritual kick up the backside.

"How?" I hear you clamour...
"Can it be that she has found the transcendental moisturiser that can actually reverse the ageing process and is appreciating first hand the concept that one cannot enter the Kingdom of God until one becomes like a little child?"

No. It's simply the work of some gimmicky packaging (see picture above). I will say nothing about the product itself, as I don't think it's my place to endorse such things to the AL community. But I will say that the wording on the jar both amuses and bemuses me - it's like a daily 'Word For The Day' without even having to open a book.

'Philosophy:Where there is hope there can be faith.
Where there is faith, miracles can occur'


 Is there a market for Christians to stick labels with nuggets of wisdom on to other products? I thought about it and had a go myself.

Behold - Holy Bread Mix

Holy Bread Mix picture to follow... Blasted AL won't upload my picture (500K ish). Anyone else using Firefox on a Mac have trouble with this? It happens to me quite a lot. Grr!
I start most mornings with my Philosophy raspberry sorbet shower gel. It doesn't have any words of wisdom or spiritual significance, it in fact has a recipie for raspberry sorbet.

But it's bright pink, smells yummy and always cheers me up.
there's a church somewhere in the UK that does 'Holy Smoke' candles, and 'Heaven Scent' incense sticks... I think they do a few other funny ones too, but i love their marketing ideas because they're so lively and make fun of themselves :) Hope in a Jar is fun :)
Just so I get this straight, when you wrote 'well-trained' you meant 'whipped' right?
Ah Gaston -  I just couldn't bring myself to use that hackneyed phrase 'metrosexual'! It's been known to incite riotous responses amongst some of my male acquaintances, even those who moisturise...
