But for today, I'd like to go back to good-old sharing stories about things without worrying about whether we are holding the label facing outward, or getting compensation or perks from it. This is not the Truman Show.
Because I'm going to tell you about a few of my favorite things in my medicine cabinet. These things make my life a little bit better, and I've decided to recognize them and be happy about it. Too many things are annoying, and make us frown. Maybe we ought to get in the habit of smiling for good things.
This is my moisturizer - coconut oil. I feel fancy when I say moisturizer instead of lotion. I use it on my face and hands and I love it. It's not slimy or greasy at all. And it's cheaper than any moisturizer in the beauty department. More love.
Burt's Bees lip balm is not as cheap as others we have in the house. But it works, smells nice, and best of all, doesn't taste like chemicals. I use it all the time - see how the print is worn off the tube? I have to hide it from the twins, who like to each chapsticks. Eat the cheap ones, small fry. Not Mommy's.
This one makes me laugh at myself. I don't necessarily love this toilet paper. But I do like the wrapper. The swirls make me happy. Maybe one day I'll paint my bathroom in swirls like this. Then I'd smile every time I went in there.
Just for today, take a look in your cupboards and drawers and notice the products that you really like. Maybe even smile at them!
