Ok. If you are a male...stop reading right now! The following post will A) bore you B) confuse you or C) confirm your suspicions that I am nuts!
Ok..boys all gone? If there are any males reading at this point..I can assume that A)nothing I say bores you B) you are not easily confused or C) You KNOW I am nuts but love me anyways! :)
So..my girly rant!
Why oh Why oh Why is it that companies that make things for women like to discontinue items? Huh? Case in point. Bath and Body Works. I can no longer go into Bath and Body and buy Cotton Blossom scented products. Now Cotton Blossom is my ALL TIME favourite! ALL TIME. It is a clean, crisp scent with an underlying 'mmmmm' factor...very subtle..but makes you go 'mmmmmm..yummy' ...when you smell it. So WHY is it that I can't walk into my local store and buy it? Tell me, I'd LOVE to hear the answer. Oh...I can order it online and pay for shipping! But I can't buy it in the store anymore. When I tried to a few months ago, I got this response "No, we don't carry that anymore, but have you tried________?" (fill in the blank). Is it because they get us hooked and then KNOW that they can stop supplying it and we'll gladly buy something else in it's place? Are we that fickle a sex?
Guys don't have this problem! Case in point. Aqua Velva. Old Spice. Both have been around since when? The 50's???? Mark is able to walk into a store and buy the same Armani fragrance he's worn since we started dating 12 years ago!!! what the heck????
We need to band together and protest this outrage! I want to be able to buy my gall darned Cotton Blossom bath gel 20 years from now! As it is, I regularly scope out my local bath and body and scoop up any Cotton Blossom products they've 'forgotten in the back' and put out on clearance! Last month I found six bottles and bought them all. I am down to three bottles (shower each morning, bubble bath each night!). I am starting to panic. I might actually break down and pay the darn shipping to order it online...sigh....
If I didn't like my boobs so much I'd consider a sex change. Oops...did I just say that out loud? hehehe....
Hugs to all
Jaye

I hear ya, sister! B&BW used to make a lotion that I loved. It was part of some relaxation line they used to have. They "modified" the line and discontinued the scent. When I asked for it they said, "Well now it's this. Here, try it." Yeah, no. Not even remotely the same! So I bought up a bunch of tubes when I could find it, and I used it very judiciously. HOWEVER, over time, the scent changed. I guess scents "expire" eventually. I was heartbroken.
