Girl Stuff
I've never understood why human beings need to smell anything but clean. I've always figured that if you bathe properly and regularly with good soap and shampoo, wear clean clothes, and a reliable deodorant/perspirant, then your body should smell quite fresh on it's own. But of coures, cologne/perfume is a trillion dollar business so I'm fighting a losing battle in my stance against all things smally in an expensive bottle. I have asthma so I can't wear anything scented at all today. I look back to the days when I occasionally DID wear some cologne and realize it made me feel sick then too, I just didn't know that sick feeling had anything to do with that which I was wearing. So even though I admit that they sometimes do come up with some bottled scents that are nice, I am still, for the most part, very anti-smelly stuff.
Still, when I was a young teen, all of my friends wore the popular teen scents of the day so I asked my mom to get some for me, as well. I very rarely put any of it on but somehow it made me feel more "teenish" to own it. lol "Sweet Honesty" and "Blue Jeans" were my two favorites. They fit my personality. Girly without being too prissy. Those were good tomboy scents and I could live with them when necessary. I bought the "Blue Jeans" brand just becaues I liked the bottle and I adored my blue jeans. lol I don't think I ever particularly cared for the actual scent. LOL But a bottle of each of these colognes always sat on my dresser during high school and early college. Even the most committed of tomboys has to have a few of the status quo girly accessories. Ask me how many unused purses I owned back then if you don't believe me. lolol
