Smells yummy

Many years ago we went out for dinner with Sam and Molly, Tom and Pat. New Year's Eve, I think. Molly and I went to the ladies' room. She told me something I've never forgotten. She was an RN and was told during her training that the soap dish was the germiest place in the hospital/home/office. I doubt that hospitals use soap dishes any more, but we do have them in our homes, and it does make sense--dirt, plus moisture, plus air. Here at the lake I have a cute little row boat shaped soap dish. However, I enjoy using a commerical pump soap container, too. I suspect the ones you fill from a container are probably also contaminated. My hairdresser, the fabulous Melissa, told me once not to add water to shampoo because bacteria would grow. Gosh, the world is full of germs, isn't.

Anyway, I love the fragrance of Softsoap Black raspberry and vanilla. Yes, this is an endorsement, although not paid. Bloggers need to watch out for that. Not sure which czar is coming after you, but you're going to be one of the non-rich who will be taxed or punished for product placement on your site if you don't tell your readers (Mommy bloggers, beware). Generally, I don't use anti-bacterial soap--just the suds and water and scrubbing.
