Momma Love

I am bonkers for this stuff. I believe that I associate the smell of it with childhood, which brings good tidings. It’s got a beautiful eucalyptus smell that reminds me of the Vick’s VapoRub my dad used to use on us kids. For everything. Seriously. Loose tooth? Vicks. First period? Vicks. Herpes Simplex A? You get the idea. It’s like the Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

 

Anyway, really, I do love this stuff. It smells great. I instantly feel like I’m doing right by my kids when I add it to their bath, which is a plus when you feel like everything you do is screwing your kids up in some way. It just smells clean, fresh, organic, minty fresh and VapoRubby. It also washes clean and leaves an awesome whisper of essential oils on your kids. I shouldn’t be an ad copywriter, should I? Who wants to buy something that “leaves an awesome whisper of essential oils on your kids?”

 

Please pretend I am not here.

It’s just you and the California Baby Colds and Flu Bubble Bath.

 

Me again! Hi. So despite the awesome whisper, I do have two complaints: one, this wash is expensive. At my neighborhood Birkenstock market, it’s almost $12. So it’s a splurge. Also, it’s a bubble bath, and I’d love it to be a wash, so I could multitask with it. I do rub it in the kids hair anyway, but it’s not zoned for this purpose.

 

But hey, I could be using Windex.

    […] Boogie Wipes: There’s a whole lot of mucous in my house because the girls have had colds since 2007. They’re getting a lot better about blowing their own noses, but the most unattractive booger mustache usually remains. And because we’re always out of toilet paper, the girls must hack away at the crusty ’stache with Bounty Extra Thicks. Boogie Wipes allows the Toots and Booger (not named that for nothin’) to blow their noses with a delicate saline wipe infused with essential oil of grape. The wipes also come in other scents, including menthol, which is MY favorite because it reminds me of my childhood when my dad used Vick’s VapoRub to build our first house. […]
