Pretty by Nature

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

I consider myself an expert on packing for travel. I have it down to a science at this point. That is why it is so shocking that I made it all the way home for Christmas and forgot my soap. I blame it on mommy brain. The hubby’s stuff; all there. All the endless baby crap, check. Even though you vow to not put yourself last, you just can’t help it. The other two complain more so it gets to the point where you will do anything to make it stop. If I have to hear, “Honey, where’s my…, or “mama, juice” (actually sounds more like doose and is actually chamomile tea…sucker), one more time. I may lose it.

I ended up using my son’s Nature Babycare body wash to rid myself of the stench of air travel. I can’t say that I want to use it everyday, but you know what, I’m impressed. Most hotel soaps just suck all the moisture out of my skin so I didn’t even try it. This body wash doesn’t at all. It actually seemed to restore some of the elasticity to my skin. I know my son’s skin is always soft and moist, but I thought that was just because he’s a baby. I think now the soap has something to do with it as well. That and the extra five years he has sucked out of me. It does have fragrance in it, but it’s very subtle and is pretty low on the hazard meter. I trust it enough to use on the bug, so obviously I thought it would be fine for me. I guess I don’t recommend it for everyday use, but for me I will use it in a pinch, if the need arises again. Next time, I will make sure I have everything I need. If my husband doesn’t have underwear, then so be it.
