Hand Soap

Yes, you read the title to this post correctly!  I am going to write a quick blurb about hand soap and how it pertains to this family.  I still have a slue of other things that I would like to write about, but this one is going to be the quickest at the moment; and I bought new hand soap yesterday morning, which just makes sense to write about it today!

So Scot and I have recently come to a conclusion about hand soap as it pertains to this family.  First, it started about 7 years ago, when Scot and I were young, new parents.  Back in those days, we barely had a dime to our name at the end of each month and after all of our bills had been paid.  We bought cheap hand soap by the bulk to save money.  As the years went by and as more kids entered the picture, we continued to purchase hand soap the same way.  However, I started to desire that someday we could have nice hand soap from Bath and Body Works.  I would go to my sisters' houses and other homes and almost be envious of their soap!  And I thought that their soap was all kinds of fancy!  LOL!  Can you believe that!

Anyways, as the years rolled by, and as Scot worked his arse off and moved up the food chain at his work to help better provide for our family, the dollar bills haven't been as hard to come by anymore.  So just about 6 months ago, I finally bought a slue of hand soap from Bath and Body Works!  Yippee!  A happy and joyous day!  I was beaming with delight!  I had always loved their kind of soap that had the granules in it.  Liked how they felt when I scrubbed my hands.  Therefore, that kind was my obvious choice for my first two sets of purchases of soap in various scents (of course!) that yours truly with her nose sniffed out!  I was on a hand soap high!  Ha Ha!

After several weeks, however, Scot and I realized that the soap with the granules in it, were not the best choice for our household and I will tell you why.  With as many people as we have washing our hands, especially that of the smaller-hand-sized variety, it would just leave all kinds of a mess in our sinks!  The pellets and granules would just stick to the base of our sinks when the kids dripped loads of hand soap all over the place.  I would constantly have to scrub the sink to get the mess left behind from my kids.  When left be, the granules would also just streak bright colors in our sinks when water would hit them as they began to dissolve.  It would just constantly leave an unsightly mess for me to clean.

So I went out yesterday, to Bath and Body Works, with the objective to still purchase my coveted scented hand soap; however, I got the foam kind instead with the hopes that there will be less mess in my sinks to clean up!
