You don’t have time to read that whole book you were supposed to know inside-out by Monday. Do not panic. Breathe, shhhhh shhhh it’s okay.

Today, we bring you the facts. We bring to you: alternative ways to shower.
A bucket Simple, practical, and fun. Fill’er up with some soapy water, lather, rinse, get back to work. Make sure to do this outside, cycling through once or twice. We don’t have time for a mess. You may get weird looks from passerby, but hey–people in California are doing it (topical because drought).
