My, I am a handsome man!

When I shower, I like lots of bubbles and lather, therefore I always get liquid soap that smells yummy and girly. It's one of the simple pleasures I still have left. I don't get very many chances to soak in the tubby anymore, I'm always the last to get a shower at our house - so consequently my hair is always wet, or else the hair is dry and I'm putting on my shoes & makeup in the car. I don't spend money on fancy perfume and I never have time to lotion up my dry legs. The soapy, smelly shower is it for me these days.

A few years ago my husband ran out of soap. He has always preferred some manly smelling bar soap. I never touch the stuff myself, but to each his own. Anyways, he was out of soap and finally broke down and used my smelly lavender breeze - or whatever. He couldn't believe that this little drop of soap could produce all these bubbles & get his whole body clean - and he didn't need to peel it off the edge of the tub before using it! Crazy!

So - he decides that we should both start using this crazy newfangled liquid soap from now on. In an effort to eliminate the number of bottles lining up along side the tub (because they drive me nuts there!), I decided to compromise and make my scents less girly so we could both just use the same bottle. For the past couple of years I've been buying things like sandalwood & ocean breeze to wash ourselves in. They're not as glamorous, but they still smell clean (although I have now lost yet another one of my girly pleasures of smelling frilly).

My husband went to the store a couple of weeks ago to get a couple of things - one of them being soap. He came home so excited because he discovered that they make shower gel for men! It's like this big secret I was keeping from him so I could force him to smell like a woman or something. He was so tickled by this discovery.

Of course, when he made this discovery he immediately picked up a bottle and threw it in the cart and ran to the check out. He didn't bother to head on down the isle a little further...

Let me just say - the shower gel for men smells really sexy. It's got that manly musky sort of smell to it. It's yummy. It's a smell I've become quite familiar with SINCE I SMELL LIKE A MAN!

Yes, I could go out and buy a super girly scented shower gel, but then I would actually have to remember to do such at the grocery store - and that's how the "great discovery" happened in the first place... I have to admit though, the ladies have been noticing me more lately ;)
