You cannot tell this over the interweb, but I smell good most of the time. I know this because I smell myself, and I think, "I smell lovely! Maybe I should stop sniffing my forearm while waiting in line at the post office." I also know that I smell good because people tell me so, and my mother's best friend asked her why I smelled so nice. I'm not trying to brag, I'm just saying that unless I have just taken a large bicycle ride, I am an olfactory sensation.
The secret to my good smells is Lush, a UK-based cosmetics company that makes bath fizzies and lotions and what-have-you. They generally use fresh and organic ingredients, and their products smell gentle, rather than overwhelmingly perfumey. When I was in college, I bought some of their goodies while in Toronto, and since then I have been a happy Lush mail-order customers. One of the bonuses of ordering my toiletries from Canada, aside from the good exchange rate, was that very few other ladies in Chicago would smell the way I do. I felt like it was my little special thing. Except now, there are stores popping up in the States. One is scheduled to open in Chicago. And it's not the terrible hike in prices that gets me as much as the suspicion that my secret weapon of smelling good is pretty much fading out of my arsenal. Soon, people will stop thinking that I smell lovely on my own merit, and this saddens me more than it should.
