Wasn’t I thinking only a day or two ago about my mother’s colorful slang for “perfume!” Glad the trip fulfilled or exceeded your expectations. Heal well.

Sweet. It was exactly that: “whore’s bath.” My friend Pam called it “a French shower”! We were less enlightened in those days. Hope you’re on the mend.

Love the brutal honesty about jet lag reality. The whole "shower in a packet" concept is kinda genius for those days when basic hygiene feels like climbing a mountan. I've been there after long international trips, where even brushign teeth feels like a marathon. The way these wipes bridge the gap between survival mode and actual functioning is underrated.

I REALLY appreciate your comment. I try to be as open as possible, but I'm someone who really needs my showers. I'm not good with the whole grimy girl aesthetic. So these wipes and towelettes can be life savers for me when traveling or even when I'm out all day. I'm glad I'm not the only one! Meanwhile, I think these are theoretically made for men but they're huge and they smell pleasant and do the trick for sweaty places you'd rather not discuss :)

Great post. I had to leave my abode and go to clients. With jet lag. I deserve accolades, awards, and prizes.
