One of my favorite parts of every day is shower-time. I just love it... partly because it's nice by-myself-thinking-time but mostly, mostly, mostly because of the smells. I love the fresh clean smells of showering. Those smells stay with you all day if you use the right ones. How many times have you caught a small whiff of someone's hair or skin and wondered what lovely-fragranced shampoo, conditioner, or soap that could be? What?! Is that just me???
Anyway, I recently bought new Aussie shampoo and conditioner. I haven't used Aussie since I was a kid. Callie always had Aussie... or at least she had some Aussie at some point in her life. I remember going to Gran's and seeing it, smelling it, possibly even using some of it if I stayed over. Well, I think that's a real memory. You'd think that by living with Cal for a year my sophomore year at college (my memory skills should've been fully honed by then, right?), I'd remember more definitively what shampoo she used then. Especially since my mind so clearly remembers her as an Aussie gal. Funny that I'm questioning it now. Regardless, Callie = Aussie and I remember LOVING her Aussie but never wanting to spend more than $0.99 when I actually got to the store to buy shampoo and conditioner. I know, I know. I'm cheap. Actually, I've broken down more than once in my life and purchased some Herbal Essences. But, for the most part, I've been a cheapo (as long as it's nice-smelling) girl. This last trip to the store, I decided to splurge on some Aussie. It is the best-smelling shampoo & conditioner I've ever had. It makes me enjoy shower time even MORE.
BUT... you know what absolutely RUINS the ("organic", if you're an Herbal Essences fan) euphoria of heavenly-scented shower time? A stinky towel. P.U. I just went from heaven to hell in one quick swipe of that towel over my yummy-smelling hair and body. Dang it. Now, I feel like I need to get back in that shower and re-do all that sudsing and thinking and thinking and sudsing... just to get my intoxicating smells back. Intoxicating as in the best possible of ways... not the intoxicating as in need of detox.

LOL, I can completly relate to this post. Being a single man living on his own for so many years, I have had the "stinky" towel experience multiple times. What is even worse, I have had it two or three days in a row before finally putting that towel in the laundry hamper, hamper...I like that word. Does this make me lazy, I say not! I would call it an energy conserver, who sometimes smells like a dirty towel ;).
