The other night, a friend of ours asked me how long it would take me to spend $100 on cosmetics. I said that I could do it in less than 15 minutes (truth? I could do it in 2 minutes). My boyfriend chuckled and said if I came home from a cosmetics shopping trip having spent ONLY $100, he felt good about it. Fortunately for me, he's the type of guy who LOVES painted ladies and complains that I don't wear enough cosmetics at once.
There are other benefits to dating a marketing slut. For instance, I'd seen a new product on the shelves of my grocery store Cough and Cold aisle that I just HAD to try. Sudacare Shower Soothers are these tablets that you put in your shower. As the hot water hits them, they dissolve and fill your shower with mentholated vapors - making your stuffy head and body aches from colds feel LOADS better.
My boyfriend is always getting colds and has chest congestion. He usually just whines at me about how bad he feels. Since I'm much more solutions-oriented when he's sick, I made him take a shower with one of the Soothers. He was a total convert after one shower. I didn't feel the same way. The tablet dissolved too quickly and did not supply near enough menthol aroma to work on my stuffy head. A week or so later, I noticed a very strong menthol scent while I was showering. Looking down, I found that my boyfriend had put the tablet on the inside tub ledge. Since it didn't dissolve as quickly, it worked so much better. In fact, one tablet can last through 3 showers if you keep it out of the bottom of the tub (a much better deal since it's $6 for 3 tablets).
If you're like me and you don't like to take medication unless absolutely necessary, I can tell you these Shower Soothers and then chicken soup for lunch work great at making me feel better. My boyfriend loves them so much he stocks up on them AND he insisted I review them on this blog. There - I've told the world for him!
