Derek Jeter Body Wash

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

A blogger friend, Sodapop, recently decided to become an Avon rep. I thought I'd check out the online store and see if there was anything I could buy to show a little support.

First off, I was very surprised that they had a men's section at all. Who knew? Secondly, they have some neat gadgets, ala Sharper Image, and I had no idea their product catalog was that big.

My final surprise was the body wash that they had. Derek Jeter's Body Wash. Now, I don't know who Derek Jeter is, but I think he's some type of athlete, and it's a ballsy move to sell a body wash that is reminiscent of a nasty smelling athlete. So I just had to try some.

Here is the video of my experience. And if you're looking for any products or gadgets or just shopping for little gift, why not go check out Soda's Avon Store?

The prognosis for Derek Jeter Body Wash is pretty decent. It smells a bit like Brut or one of those Axe body washes, but it's much milder, so you don't get that overpowering musk like you took a bath in Old Spice. I lean towards fruitier and chocolatey body washes usually, so I don't know if it's exactly what I'd like to get on a regular basis, but I'm pretty happy with it. You should give it a try.

(This was not a paid advertisement. I just wanted an excuse to use my video camera for a video post and take it in the shower.)

Slippery when stupid

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

The shower in our master bathroom is pretty big. It's a little over six feet long and about three and a half feet wide. This means that it's perfect for relaxing, lying down, napping, or, in my situation, performing full-body accidental breakdancing.

Before I begin, I need to educate you on the way that I shower. I usually use the Bath and Body Works Temptations 3-in-1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath, and Shampoo (Gingerbread, Caramel, or Chocolate, usually) for my entire body. I use Aveda facial moisturizer for my delicate beautiful face, and I use Aveda rosemary mint shampoo for all major areas that have hair. However, since I am lazy, I barely wash my legs and never wash my feet. I figure that the body wash suds will reach those areas without a problem thanks to gravity.

Yesterday, however, I decided that since I had been walking around in the yard barefoot, I should probably make the effort to actually wash my feet. I'm really fucking lazy, though, so rather than try to wash my feet properly, I just squirted tons of body wash on the shower floor and stepped in it, then started sliding around, letting it get all sudsy. Then I started sliding from one end of the shower to the other, watching my feet get all sparkly clean without doing a damned thing! It was a genius plan.

Until, of course, my momentum got the better of me. First, I was pushing on the sides of the shower walls to slide myself around. My hands were sudsy and slippery, and one push resulted in my right hand slipping, which made me start to spin. My left foot shot in front of me, hitting the wall with a painful crunch, and my right foot flew off to my right. Having no feet on the actual ground means that I was gravity's bitch. I fell over, doing a split that someone my size should never do. Simultaneously, I put my hand out to stop my fall. My hand supporting my entire body, being filled with suds, slipped out from under me, which actually caused me to flip completely over, kicking the glass shower door with one foot and flailing around with the other until I was ass-up in the air, laying on my shoulders and still trying to figure out what the holy fuck had just happened.

And then the shower door that I had just dislodged fell on me, luckily staying in one solid piece.

And that's why I'll never wash my feet again.
