Day 19 - Stinky is as Stinky Does

This is a public service announcement for anyone who needs to go out in public, either to go to work, to go grocery shopping or to go visit with someone in the hospital, folks, please, please, please ease up on the cologne/perfume/after shave.
With the passing of the holiday gift giving season, comes the season known as: let me bathe, spritz, lotion and powder with my wonderful new gift set. I think all of these gift sets should come with user instructions, or somehow be packaged so they will only dispense a once a day spritz. And I think that all the stores that sell them should include an advisory as to how to use them. I was in my local pharmacy this morning and the woman standing in front of me in the check-out.... reeked!  I followed her scent up a very long aisle long  before I actually stood behind her. She acted as a human air freshener and not in a good way. I always think folks who do this must be trying to cloak an even worse smell. I wish someone would invent a "smell-o-meter" that would beep and alert the over perfumed (or under hygiened) long before they stepped one foot out of their homes, any inventors out there? Definitely needed this time of year.

January 19, 2012: I am thankful for my great sense of smell, especially when I am in a bakery.
