Very safely guarded

That would best describe this Safeguard soap.

What's happening here? Was it trying to escape? Are people filching hand soaps?

Whatever the reason was, it's safe to say that this made me chuckle today.

Simply Put

One of my recent discoveries that's truly rave worthy is Simply Soft Hand Wash. Particularly the Fragrant Olive & Cedar Wood scent.

This smells so divine. It has that nice blend of earthy and gourmand. I'm actually tempted to bathe in it! 

But don't worry. I haven't.

Yet.

Gosh, if they had this scent in a body wash, I'd hoard it!

It's that simple.

Better that you know

When I discovered the Bench Better Goods line, particularly the Hand and Body Wash and Hand Cream, it was love at first sniff. All their 3 variants, but particularly the "Blue Me Away" scent, was excellent!

The smell is so fresh and clean, and it's the type of scent that my nose gravitates towards.

For a time, this line from Bench was out-of-stock, particularly in early 2020. I'd scour different branches in search for it. The most often answer I'd get: "Out of Stock po."

So, when it was back on the shelves, we all know what happened after that.

Yup, Better Goods is back in my bathroom. And it's much better because of that!

That's Fresh!

Clean, pristine and unassuming scents have always captured my olfactory fancy.

In a survey that was given to me ages ago, I listed "freshly-laundered bedsheets" as one of my all-time fave smells. It goes up there along with "freshly-opened balikbayan boxes."

That's why in terms of cologne or perfume, I've always gravitated to those unassuming scents that smell like soap, or fabric conditioner, or newly-ironed t-shirts. That's why "Clean" is and will always be my top pick. Their "Cotton" series (Warm Cotton and Cool Cotton) is still part of my repertoire. When they discontinued "Cotton T-Shirt," it was such a bummer for me.

Last March, when we had to buy liquid hand soap for the house, the Watsons branch I went to only had one scent left. It was this very plain, very clinical and very aseptic variant called "Fresh Clean."

When we eventually got to using it, I was just flabbergasted!

The scent was AWESOME! It was pristine and unassuming - just the way I like it! The scent was very mild, very quiet, and very clean. Heck, if they had a shower gel that had this scent, I'd buy it in bulk! They don't have it yet, but I'm hoping they will have it soon.

After this discovery, I'm not buying any other variant except this. Well, if I can help it.
