Spice


So, today, I totally revolted and took my lunch break. I haven't done this since before Christmas. The main reason was the weather. Yeah, it's cloudy out but it's almost 50 degrees! Yay! I decided to take advantage of it and wash my car. I haven't done this since around my birthday (August). So I cleaned it all out, vacuumed, and washed. My little girl is smiling again. I decided since she's so nice to take me everywhere I'll get her a little something. An air freshener. So I looked at the selection. I don't like the PeachyPeach or the Cherry. Black Ice seemed a little too mysterious. Blueberry... gag. I narrowed it (quickly) down to Vanillaroma or Spice. I couldn't smell either of them through the plastic. I figured- sometimes vanilla is way too overpowering and it gives me a headache. Spice had Cinnamon sticks for a picture. I really like Cinnamon scents. So I spent $1.29 and got the Spice. Big, fat, huge mistake. It reeks of soap. Not nice skin moisturizing soft soap. It smells like cheap truck stop soap. A bar of cheap soap. On the picture it appears that the Cinnamon sticks are being soaked in something. Before my purchase, I thought this was an incense thing. Now I am thinking maybe they are being soaked in a jar of soapy water that eliminates their sweet Cinnamon smell and replaces it with a harsh soap smell. They shouldn't call it Spice. They should call it Soap. And you should avoid it like the bubonic plague.

Always go for the vanillaroma!

Ew... I've seen that the Yankee Candle company makes those car fresheners. It might be worth making a trip to Roberts just to get some of those. All of those car wash fresheners give me major headaches.

Scensty car fresheners are the best. You should try them, there's lots of scents to choose from.

I recall your car always smelling like Victoria's Secret's PINK. I think it was from the bottle that you stashed in your glove-box. Call me nostalgic, but I still connect your car and that smell.
