Most people I know have a signature scent. My mother in law drenches herself in Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds and one friend of mine only uses Chanel no 5 (I think just so she can say that’s what she uses), and still another swears by Glow by J.Lo, because apparently she’s still stuck in 2002. Whatever though, I’m not a hater…after all, when I was 12 and my perfume selection came from Walgreens I thought that Charlie White was the height of glamour…
Personally, I prefer Happy by Clinique…in fact, it’s the only scent I’ve worn since I was 18 (do you all hear that? all of you that insist on getting me body sprays for Christmas and my birthday? I won’t use them). Unfortunately, most people don’t think of me whenever they get whiff of Happy somewhere…why not? Because my signature scent has changed in the last few years..
Now I smell of eau de Holly…which is a mixture of spit up, poop, and exhaustion; with perhaps a bit of disbelief that I have four kids under the age of seven. If I had to describe the scent to you I’d call it musky…
So why don’t I shower more often than the one every 36-48 hours I get? Because this is what I come out to…
(what? I’m just having some chips.)
(these are delicious! where have you been hiding these?
Hope…can I have more?)
who else did you think was behind The Great Chip Debacle?
(yum yum yum…you get in my belly*!!)
(if you insist on vacuuming those up then I’ll get them myself!)
So there you have it…that’s why I’m not always fresh as a daisy…so let’s all take this time to thank Secret for coming out with the over the counter prescription strength deodorant…ahhh…
*this is just one example of how you can tell a parent of a child with Down Syndrome apart from another parents…instead of immediately taking away the chips I marveled at how good she’s becoming at self feeding! And then took pictures…
Haha, oh my. What a cutie. And who doesn't love chippies.
Congrats on posting at Scary Mommy!
I love Happy too!
lol! i wonder if rachel would like baked lays? hum…
i am so glad i am not the only one who rarely gets a shower! good job brooke on eating those chips! i bet she would love doritos!
Good for you on the guest posting!
I only just started getting a shower every single day and it's because I do it at like midnight lol.
But my favorite perfume, Adidas Move and something else by Este Lauder I think
I'm a VS Love Spell girl….frequently mixed with sweat and wet dog. It's lovely.
Yum, CHIPS! At least they're baked. She has excellent taste!
LOL,
Ok, that's just cute, cute, and more cute!
LOL…Love your posts!
Hahaha! You go Brook!!!! Holly you are too funny. I needed the laugh!!! My scent is any coconut scrub or soap!
My signature scent these days is garlic and sour breast milk. Picture a cross between Rachel Ray and a big old cow. Sexy, huh?
Those sure are some cute babies!
SO cute!! I sport that same scent, btw!
Well I must be a Ds Mom too, cuz all I could see was Brooke sitting up so tall and proud and feeding herself!!!!
Oh My God! So cute! I am sure your children love your mommy smell. Congrats on your scary mommy post.
Cute pictures! I get scared too when I go take a shower. My little girl gets into everything no matter how many times to tell her not too.
Thanks for following. I am returning the favor.
These are GREAT pictures! I have had many shower incidents with my kids too. Most of the time it involves my tampons though….scary.
Great pictures! My scent is "regurgitated everything". Love reflux.
I just snorted wine out of my nose at the Get in My Belly picture. HEE-larious! I'm new to your blog and this is my intro to your kids. Too precious!
lol … and I though my eau de Jenn was particularly fragrant. But then again, I only have the one baby.
What a cutie!
And I do remember those days. I'm past them now but I still don't smell very good:)
Don't you hate when they're too cute to even get angry at?!?!
Oh my goodness, look at that cute belly of hers! She's adorable. <3
LOL! I totally feel you on the shower thing. The other day I realized that it had been two days since I showered and I couldn't remember when I washed my hair last. Yes, washing my hair requires extra shower time and I have yet to master washing my body and hair in the 3.5 minutes that I am allowed to shower.
Oh and I came out once to my youngest 2 kids bingo doppering (is that a word) the arm of the couch. If you care to know, it doesn't come out.
She's so stinkin' cute! I would have totally taken pictures too! My scent is either Momma or Dove soap.
I love this post, and glad you chose it to link up to the Storytellers Blog Hop!!
Hope you had/are having a great weekend. All the best!
Eau de YOU! That is too cute
I wear Happy too and love it! I think I get to wear it more often than you, but I do remember the days of Eau de Jennifer! Great post!
