How is everyone?? Just finished an 8 hour shift and I am dead tired. Seriously considered dragging my lazy bum to the gym right after work but figured that I’m better off to just rest tonight and go hard tomorrow.
The hardest thing about working out (for me at least) is actually getting to the gym. Once there, I find that it’s much easier to get into the work outs. But I think being surrounded by ridiculously fit people kind of plays a huge role in the motivating me :S.
One thing that I always look forward to when I go to the gym is the conclusion: shower. And, oh, how good it has been since I threw Soap and Glory’s Clean on Me into the mix.
The product is not overpowering, nor is it too faint that you find yourself wondering why you even bother to use it. The scent is not, for lack of a better word, “matronly.” Nor is it too “young.” It lathers up quite nicely, has a built in lotion (although I still use lotion afterward since I am prone to dry skin), and the packaging is just kitsch heaven for me. Price wise, it’s quite affordable (I bought mine on sale for $10 CAD, but is $13-15 regular)
Sadly, this product is currently only available in the UK (Harvey Nichols and Boots), US (Target), and Canada (Shoppers Drugmart, though I espied some at Pharma Plus on Eglinton near Bathurst).
I actually was never really into the whole bath and shower products until very recently. Now, it’s an indulgence I can’t live without because, seriously, who does not look forward to unwinding with a nice warm bath/shower after a hectic day?
OK. I’m back to watching Buffy. I have been on a Buffy, The Vampire Slayer binge lately. Partly because it just all sorts of awesome and partly because I am always taken back to my teenage years. Oh, awkward Mary of 1997-2004, how far you’ve come along.
And since we’re on the topic of Buffy…this had me laughing in stitches.
Care to share any bath faves?

Hi Mary! I know what you mean about getting to the gym. Sometimes if I managed only to get to the gym the work is already done.There I can easily find the motivation. I hate that part with shower…cause in some gyms they have only 1 shower and I have to stay in line and wait…which sucks.
HI Tavia!
Thank goodness someone can agree with me on this. Many of my friends that do workout don’t really have an issue with it. But then again, they’ve made it part of their routines for so long that I can imagine going to the gym is as natural as breathing air hahah.
