Shampoo and coffee do not mix well. Not in a mug or in the mouth, anyway, although I’ve heard of brunettes who rinse their hair with strong coffee to enhance the colour…

My point is –

In a more perfect world, I’d love to figure out how to have that first essential morning cup of coffee and a refreshing wake-up shower, both at the same time. One possible solution? Caffeinated soap.

No, seriously.

It’s at BalmWorks, sold as singles or a set of three, with each bar of delightfully caffeinated soap going for about the price of your upscale mocha-latte. Or a couple large double-doubles over at Tim Horton’s. Or a small package of ready-ground coffee beans at the supermarket.

H/T to Cali Lewis for this one!
