reminiSCENTS

OK, I know this is stupid to post, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately and decided to share.

Isn't is crazy how certain scents remind you of certain people or bring back certain memories?

Recently, softsoap was on sale so I bought some. I couldn't believe how the smell immediately took me back to getting my belly button pierced my freshman year in college. That was the soap I used to so carefully clean it each and every day for the first week or two.

It got me thinking...that seems to happen a lot, smelling something and being reminded of a distant memory.

Here are a few:

Vanilla Fields perfume: junior high in Wauneta/Palisade

Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon lotion: freshman year in high school & an old friend (P.E. in particular)

Clinique Happy perfume: sophomore year in high school & another old friend

Victoria's Secret Romantic Wish lotion: our wedding (get your mind out of the gutter, I used it before I put on my dress)

Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar soap: Austin's stitches (cleaning them ever so carefully...now that smell almost makes me nauseous)

Bath & Body Works Sun-Ripened Raspberry: Tayvin's first week of life and breastfeeding (washing hands every 5 seconds to prevent spreading germs to the new baby)

Unreal. Does this happen to you or do you think I'm crazy? I'd love to hear your comments!!!
