A friend of mine was given a jar of hand exfoliant this Christmas but was pretty sure she’s never use it. Since I am a fan of sanding my skin off, I said sure.
It has salt and a pine-scented liquid inside. I scooped some up and started scrubbing away. Not crazy hard, butts I scrubbed I noticed my skin was getting a little red. I eased up, and thought, “Huh. Why is that so red? It’s really pretty red. Dang. That’s really red. You idiot. You’re allergic to pine. Remember trimming that hedge years ago? Remember the hives? Why are you still standing here talking to yourself? Wash that off your hands.”
Anyone want a barely used jar of hives?
Deborah says
No hives for me, thank you.
You have a typo, and a funny one at that.
CousinSam says
Not a typo, it is mild potty words Wednesday of NLSW.
Poop
Lauren says
Heh heh. Butts.
Deborah says
So, what’s Thursday?
Brad says
How interesting. I guess if you’re going to be allergic to a scent, pine is a good one. You don’t see too many pine-scented lotions or soaps.
Peggy says
Ouch! I haven’t been using any products I’m allergic to…but my hands are so dry & bleedy. Maybe being hivey would be an improvement.
(Did you mean she’d never use it?)
Lauren says
*sigh* Yes, I did. I need to stop typing one-thumbed on my iPad and actually read through things. Thank you, Peggy. 🙂
Peggy says
(I didn’t mean to be snarky…but your other proof readers failed you)
Lauren says
Oh, heavens -- you were not snarky at all! I appreciate the help! 🙂
Kristi says
I LOVE the smell of pine. At Christmas, I burn a pine-scented candle. Now I know why you never come to see me in December.
Hope the hives went away quickly.
