Mmm…what is that delicious smell in the air? That smell that brings to mind the caress of a gentle summer breeze drifting across your skin as you lay in a hammock, sipping cocktails in the shade of a palm tree at the edge of a golden beach beside a blue tropical sea.
That smell, that smell like heaven, is the smell of The Body Shop’s Mango Body Whip* and it is coming from from the direction of my mother. For she who gave birth to me has been helping herself to liberal quantities of this divine smelling body lotion ever since I brought it home.
Having skin that smells good enough to eat and feels silky and soft is not enough reason to help yourself to another woman’s beauty products! ESPECIALLY when you can walk into any branch of Body Shop and buy your own.
But no, that is too much bother and so she will just keep on ‘sharing’ mine until it’s finished and I go out and buy two new bottles. One of which I will passively aggressively give to her for Christmas…
