Lets
see a raise of hands of who likes to smell good? *survey the crowd* I
am pretty sure that was everyone. And pretty much all the ladies, I am
sure.
There is just something in a
woman that overtakes us when something stinky come within 20 feet. We
whip out our perfume bottles! Even if we think "BO" we slink off the
the bathroom to reapply the little deodorant we keep in the secret
pocket of our purses. (Heaven forbid another sees us and think we have
some chronic smelly disorder!)
And let's just tap a little
into soaps and shampoos we use. There is not one Bath and Body Works I
have passed that was not packed full with women picking up bottles and
cracking one open like beer and taking in its scent.
Seriously! As women we have an
addiction to smell goodies! It's a drug! And what makes it worse, all
the soap and shampoo scents are not longer just your simple "Spring
Fresh" or "Rose", its expanded!!!
We now have scents like "Apple Cherry Vanilla Blossom" or "Rosewood Evergreen Citrus".
I mean, it used to be just be I
would shower with "clean" scented body wash, now I smell like "Orange
Morang." and why not top that off with " Morning Dew Fern Fresh"
shampoo. Oh! And guess what I bought a new conditioner treatment, lets
make my hair smell like "Sugar Cookie Cotton Candy Balls!"
And since I am enjoying the bath so much, like make it more romantic and add candles!
Let's see, I'll burn "Winter Snow Flake by the Fire" (Didn't know snow had a smell, but apparently it does!)
And when I am out I will burn
another as I get ready for day, titled "Fall Leaves" Yes, Bath and Body
Works has a candle that smells like fall's dried up leaves. The very
leaves you are endlessly raking and you gripe about when your husband
tracks them into the house. But hey! your house can at least smells like
it! Link here if you want that candle in a mini version!
*sigh* By no means do I mean to sound negative about all the new
smellies that have come out. I am one of those ladies who love scents
and buy candles and use twice, before I buy another. I am an addict!
But I just gotta know, who was the person who woke up one morning and thought, "I want to smell like Chocolate Cake" Linke here!
My favorites are from the people who invented the soda and Twinkies
scented AND flavored lip balms! Sheer genius! My personal favorite is Mt. Dew.
But hey, who is to judge? If
you want to smell like an ice cream sundae, you can smell like an ice
cream sundae. If what makes your day is to get a wiff of your house in
cascades of "Cherry Berry Banana Glazed Bun Blossoms," then be my guest
and burn that candle!
Anyways until another day!
