Slipping and Sliding to Vegas
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of KAO Brands. All opinions are 100% mine.
The Temptation is Beautiful Sweepstakes is afoot, and KAO brands is giving away a trip to Las Vegas for one lucky entrant and their three best friends. They cannot guarantee that you will be best friends upon your return. Perhaps it would be best to choose three strangers to go with you in that case. KAO brought us products such as Curel and Jergens creams. It amazes me how many formulations and brands of hand and body lotions there are.
In his book of wit and wisdom, Michael J. Nelson addresses his wife’s well stocked cabinet of creams and gels in the essay “Moist As I Want to Be:”
Only because I was absolutely certain she wouldn’t mind, I recently waited until she was gone, dug through the bathroom cabinets, and took out all moisturizers, creams, unguents, lotions, salves, humectants, ointments, cerates, oils, cosmetics, epithems, embrocations, liniments, and depilatories of a woman who loves in my house (who may or may not be my wife–I shall not disclose her identity). There were approximately thirty-six pounds of “4-in-1 moisturizing cleansers with hydrospheres” alone. Land sakes, how moist does this woman who lives in my house want to be? Is there a point at which you can soften yourself to death?
- Michael J. Nelson, Mind Over Matters
I never believed that softening oneself to death was possible, but Nelson has opened my eyes to the reality. There are folks with serious skin conditions, but barring that, are we all just working to achieve the goal of slipping under doors a la Flat Stanley? While you figure that out, might as well enter the Temptation is Beautiful sweepstakes. If you don’t win the trip, you could potentially win….even more lotions and cream. Therefore, you will truly be able to test the theory if endangerment from being too softened is possible. There is a quiz on the site to determine your temptation style. Are you as cool as a cucumber or are you hot, hot, hot? It doesn’t answer my previous question, but if we are all aware of our relative hotness or coolness, maybe it will help us determine if we need more or less lotion, whether you are a gal or a dude.
Of course, I had to play with it. I guess I am cool as a cucumber. Maybe that’s why I had few dates in college. I wore my Sunglasses at Night. I had a smile that looked either indifferent or botoxed…
