(Ask Auntie) Poo Poo Loo

Dear Aunt SC,

My friends -- let's call them Marge and Al -- are soon to go on another lovely cruise. Al is very excited about it. Marge is, well, happy that Al is happy, and it'll be fine. Sure, Marge enjoys cruising. But what do you do about those tiny cruise ship stateroom loos that have no ventilation? Commercial air fresheners are so tacky. Is there another clever option that does not involve flame? Something involving an essential oil perhaps?

Sorry not to be more seasonal. Wish I had a turkey cooking question for you, but I leave all that grief to my sister, who conjures a fabulous holiday meal every year.

With olfactory gratitude,

Landlubber


Dear Landlubber,

Avast and belay. Your timing is exquisite. Auntie just tweeted the following:

We live in a world where something called Poo-Pourri(tm) has the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Sigh.

If that counts as "commercial air freshener" then Auntie would suggest getting a dropper bottle and filling it with either lavender, rosemary or eucalyptus oil and using it according to the directions on the Poo-Pourri (tm).

If any of you darling readers have a better suggestion, please leave a comment so Landlubber can see it. We don't want their Love Boat to turn into a stinky ship.

Bon buffet!
