In the Shower

I'm a shower person-- not sure if I ever loved baths, probably because I'm sort of tall and most bathtubs are uncomfortable (no place to stretch out my legs, I can't really be under the water, etc., etc.). I alternate between using very lavish shower gels and ones from the drugstore-- it seems like I should economize, but sometimes I just can't resist.

One of my favorite lines for gels is Fresh. I recently enjoyed purchasing a heavily marked down Cannabis Rose perfume set-- it included a mini of a nice thick body cream and a mini shower gel. Fresh gels are clear (no sticking to the tub) and smell like the fragrances. I've also liked many of the bright scents of Fresh for the shower (it seems to me like a shower should wake you up, not help you sleep).



Fresh gels aren't inexpensive, but I also think that they're very good quality-- I want the gel to rinse very clean and I want the fragrance to linger briefly. My only "quarrel" with the line is that they seem to change their fragrances really rapidly-- there's a Sandalwood Vert fragrance I've seen reviewed that I have yet to find in real life.

In this economic climate, enjoying a $28 gel for the month is probably still better than a $100 shirt I may only sometimes wear.
