Good morning - another straight shave. Cuban highball is one of 4 soaps that I have multiple pucks - I just love this scent - the booziness of the drink, a splash of citrus, and a very good tobacco note. Just wonderful way to start Sunday.

It’s pouring rain right now - so looks like Aidan and I will be headed to Urban Air.

Have to do a lot of paperwork today to prep for Aidan’s interview - I have him enrolled in a work study program. Hopefully he’lll get to work at the vets or with a computer.

Have a great Sunday!

So not as hot as some - but still up there - 33 Celsius with 65% humidity - so it is either community pool or water balloon time today. So Aidan is stoked.

Shave - I had to go with the mood - this soap is exactly what it seems - imagine you are sweating away - poolside - sipping on your fruity adult beverage (orange & pineapple) and then you decide to just jump right into the deep end - the cold water engulfing you - that is this soap and AS experience. This was my first soap/AS with synthetic cooling agent -so I didn‘t realize it would sneak up on you - subtle at first -then without warning full blast. When I first put it on, I felt a little cooling -but not what I thought I should so I tripled up on the applications. It was so cold my teeth hurt 😂 So I’ve learned from experience (one of the few times).

Anyway, Aidan and I first have to stop by the Special Needs Placement Center - get the job applications finished and fingers crossed, we’ll be all prepped for the summer and the school year.

Have a great day everyone!
 
33 degrees and a chilling soap? BRRRRRRR! BTW, now that I know who your work for, I feel it's appropriate to hide my communications.
