Is your perfume interfering with your search for the right mate?

  1. I know that the overuse of cologne from one of the guys I dated is a clear and present reason that I won’t be dating him again. Ick!

  2. Who knows where it could have gone if only he’d smelled like B.O. instead? :)

  3. I can remember putting on too much cologne when I was younger…so gross. I thought the ladies would love it. I was wrong. :-)

  4. Hahaha. That’s so funny, David. I have to admit, I had a bottle of Benetton perfume when I was a teenager, and I wouldn’t leave the house without at least three or four sprays.

    It’s funny how much you adjust. Now I can’t even stand the way bigger name brand shampoos smell. If I use one, I feel like the scent follows me all day.

Tip of the Day

Bring Your Own Utensils

I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse.  I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.

Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets.  Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.

But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door.  You don’t need anything fancy.  Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale.  It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.
