The Essence of Clean Dishes

The makers of Palmolive dish soap have outdone themselves. Yesterday, I went to wash dishes and forgot that the day before, I had used the last of the dish washing liquid. So I bundled myself up and went around the corner to the Shopper's Drug Mart to replenish the soap and pick up a birthday card for a friend while I was at it. I didn't know what kinds of choices I would have at my disposal. There is now everything from Ocean Breeze to Aloe Vera to Spring-like flowery fragrances. But what took the cake was the aromatherapy dish soap--infused with lavender and ylang ylang essences. And it was the same price as all the other "flavours." I have to admit, the fact that the bottle also claimed this soap to be "Anti-Stress" sold me.

After all, who doesn't need their stress to be reduced when they wash dishes?

But really.

Nothing really constructive to add to this entry except that it made me smile, something that does not happen often these days.

I saw the anti-stree palmolvie in the grocery store today. I didn't get any but did smell it. It smells good! When I opened the cap everyone on the aisle seemed a little more relaxed.
