Awwwww That Minty Clean Clean Feeling...OUCH!

I love to try different shampoos and conditioners but when I feel like really splurging I always use the Abba mint flavored brand. There's nothing better than that invigorating, refreshing sensation on my scalp after I've just shampooed/conditioned.

So while Christmas shopping this year, I noticed Tayshaun picking up my bad shopping habit of one for her/him, two for me, one for her/him, and, might as well, pick up one for me. Anywayzzz while in Bath and Body Works, we were sniffing and sampling oils, lotions, cremes, candles, etc and Tayshaun brings over this Mentha body wash. He'd already managed to take off the cap and was sniffing the concoction like it was chicken noodle soup. "Hmmm Mom, smell this!".

What a way to get Tayshaun in the bathtub more often. Plus I thought if he really like the body wash, he might want to USE body wash a little more often. So "don't twist my arm, Tayshaun!" - OK.

The first night he took a bath and "YES!" he took an extra, long, lavish bath indulging in his new body wash. Well afterwards while in his jammies, he tells me, 'Geez, Mom, my underarms pits are burning". Thinking maybe he hadn't rinsed well, I suggested he go rinse his pits with some water.

Then next night after his bath, I tucked him into bed and he tells me, "Mom, my bootie is burning just a little." Well, so much for the body wash. I asked if he forgot to use soap. But he'd apparently just had a visit with the toilet so I advised him to go clean his bum a little better 'cause he probably had some lingering dingleberries.

Being that we got snowed in for a few days last week, I didn't get a chance to get groceries so we were pushing the Oil of Olay bar of soap until it was the size of a toothpick. So I decided to try out the new Mentha body wash, one morning. Personally, I prefer soap to body wash so I hadn't thought to use it before then. So here goes....

Awwww, Yessss!, the Mentha was a nice minty experience and with conditioner soaking on my scalp, I was in heaven. So I'm scrubbing every which way but....when whoosh! I gotta cool, breezy sensationy feeling happening between my legs and up my butt crack. What the hell did they put in that thing, Ben Gay?!

It all makes sense now. I totally understand what Tayshaun was trying to describe when he said his booty was burning just a little. It wasn't a burning. It was more of a cool menthol feeling. Nice but just strange in that location....unless of course....oh SNAP! sorry this isn't an Advertisement for the Blue Boutique. Just sayin'....it was a nice feeling.
