It is a kinder, gentler kind of HydraInteresting name for a mega citrus soap…I don’t think I imagine hydras as bright and uplifting
Have a great Friday my friend!
White Sox are on a bad slide right now, haven't seen any of the games in Cleveland but man oh man did they NOT show up to play this week. Sigh.
We have another whole month to go before we're safe from overnight frost.Planting next week?
) - Coronado was saved strictly for post surfing activities. This scent brings about memories of walking down the Italian Market and getting an Italian ice from a street vendor that scrapes your helping off a big block of ice then douses it with a nice lemony syrup that just hits the spot. It would be the perfect dessert after enjoying a Provolone Wit from Pat’s King of Steaks (if you went across the street to Gino’s - you’re a monster).
You should try 90 degrees here in Satan’s sweaty neck fat roll!SOTD: 04/24/2022

Fun shave today - even though while the scents all compliment each other - the memories they elicit are definitely different.
I bought this soap (and one other) from Creations by Will solely due to the fact that they bring back memories of being in my favorite US city - San Diego. The company no longer uses plastic tubs - all soaps whether it be 2 oz (pictured here) or the 4 oz are wrapped in paper. This soap is a limon (patent pending - or did 7 Up have use that in their commercials - either way- I claim it). The original cover when they had plastic tubs -was a lemon surfing. I loved surfing in San Diego - La Jolla was my favorite spot, but also put sex and bubble wax on my board in Pacific and Missions beaches as well (I know for the Surfers out there - Pick one board wax - I picked the one that was being sold at the surf shop closest to the beach
The soap itself is s very nice scent - but very much on the lighter side. It is a vegan soap that lathers really easily and provides decent performance. If this company wasn’t from San Diego - knowing what I know now - would I get the soap - unsure, but leaning towards not - the appeal to me is San Diego - and while the soap is a fine performer and I do like that the company lives by the creeds the pronounce - the scent is really too light for me - and scent is the first thing I consider for purchasing.
Now onto the AS - this is actually an anomaly in that just by the title - you would think it would have a younger appeal - and it is definitely not that. It magically brings on memories of its name while at the same time presenting itself with a mature aspect - there are hints of tobacco in here - and the AS itself was aged in whiskey barrels.
Now for those of you that have experienced both the beach and city life - you know that 90 degrees at La Jolla is not the same as 90 degrees in South Philly
Finally the cologne is relatively new for 4711 - and it is just a neat, simple scent. Reminds me of ginger ale - which is my favorite bubbly beverage.
So @woodpusher - you’d be proud of Aidan - our STEAM project was to build an indoor plant irrigation system - we are growing wheatgrass, beans, and watermelon….

Have a fantastic day everyone!
Thank you my brother - I love their zoo as well - not sure what type of scent/fragrance you’d put towards it though
Yeah - the South has a very different take on heat - at least in La Jolla - you’d get the nice breeze off the ocean - and in Philly - you get the afore mentioned icy snack…….but 90’s degrees in the South brings a whole other definition heat - adding the steam roomYou should try 90 degrees here in Satan’s sweaty neck fat roll!
At least your clothes are never wrinkled lolHe was very proud - though it was difficult to explain to him that we need drips and drops - not flows lolTell him that his drip layout looks much better that what I tried last year!
