I love shampoo and conditioner. I don’t usually allow myself to get the super expensive stuff, it’s not even necessary. I can have plenty of fun sniffing the various flavors available in the grocery store.
This love of hair cleansing products is the reason I have a drawer in my bathroom full of a million tiny bottles of shampoos and conditioners that I’ve stolen from hotels, even going so far as to put them in my suitcase so that they replace them daily.
I realized, however that I NEVER use them. When we run out, I get so excited to get to go buy shampoo and conditioner again, that there’s never a time I need them at home. I don’t take them when I stay overnight with friends and family, I just use their product. (OOoooh! What do THEY use?)
Well, with this new time consuming job thing, I haven’t had time for the luxury of a drugstore trip, and we ran out about a week ago. The drawer is totally saving the day! And I’m decluttering! It’s really fun to have so many options. Most of it is really nice, too, or I wouldn’t have bothered saving it in the first place.
For some strange reason, maybe it’s my mom’s cheap ass thrifty influence, I’m enjoying this resourceful payoff of my shampoo fettish. Maybe I’ll let myself get some Aveda next time, since I’m such a good little money saver with such tidy bathroom drawers.
See, this is why I love you.
Right back at you, AFKALSGP.
I just love sample shampoos! Actually, I love sample anything, which was one reason why Blogher was cool. Love the new site design.
I would complain about you using my hair products…but hey, I seem to have inherited a new pair of sunglasses…don’t suppose you know who they belong to???
Shawn: Hi! Yes, wasn’t that nice? In fact, I’m pretty sure that the upside down ones were . Oofrom BlogHer.
Victorian: I wondered if you had those. They belong to Lael, actually. Oops…
Okay, this made me laugh. Nice to know other people have this same fixation. Mine doesn’t involve too many travel sized ones, but I have a cabinet filled with half used bottles because I’ve found another I like the smell of, look of the bottle, an ad really “spoke” to me. I do end up using them again when I’m running low or feel like a change (or the hubby screams about all the crap in the cabinet.)
