How can I forget my own soap?
August 21, 2008
Ok, so I sometimes forget my own soap when I go away
overnight. Yes, that is absolutely ridiculous, I know, but
I always have more soap than I know what to do with, so why
would I think of packing it?
So, anyways, when I forget my wonderful soap, I end up with
my own eczema flare ups. I don't think of myself as having
eczema just because I rarely have any problems. I only know
that I have eczema because when I go to a hotel and forget
my soap, I have to use the gross stuff that I find in the
bathroom of the hotel.
When I use that soap, I start to dry out and my skin flares
up in little red patches on the inside of my elbows. It
started out as just the inside of my right elbow, every
time I used soap that wasn't my own. More recently, I have
been finding that my left elbow also starts to rash up and
itch like crazy.
I kick myself when I forget my soap, but once I get home
and start using my own soap for a few days, it is all gone
again until the next time I have a brain fade and forget my
soap. In the mean time, I can't stand the itching.
What I like to use to soothe the itching is plain shea
butter. It is great stuff. I carry the unrefined shea
butter so it has all the good properties to it. It is good
for relieving itchies, rashes, and even bug bites. I rub it
on my lips for lip balm when I find that I am parched.
So, that is my shameful admission for the day. I can't
imagine what you all must think of my silliness, but I
usually just have so much else to get ready that I barely
get enough socks in my suitcase for three kids, one husband
and myself.
Without you, we wouldn't be in business - thank you!!
