Some of you will be too young to relate to this post.
Some things bring my mind right back
to a certain
to a certain
MOMENT IN TIME.
A while ago I spotted something in the store
that made me stop and stare.
It was THIS!
PRELL!
PRELL!
My mother washed my hair
with this for years.
with this for years.
I had to have some for old times sake!
It is probably like using
dishwashing liquid
dishwashing liquid
on your hair
but I sure do love the smell
and the memories that accompany it.
When I got to be a teenager
I declared my independence!
I declared my independence!
Yes! I! Did!
I bought this instead.
Yes'm - I was a Breck girl.
Yes- I washed my hair with BRECK
but before showering
and washing my hair
I brushed my teeth with
IPANA.
It came in one of those
horrible old metallic tubes
that rusted and hardened like
gun metal as you emptied it.
THAT was my mother's choice
and when I was a teenager
I chose
Don't forget your white gloves, ladies.
Let's hope your teeth are that white
from using Crest!
After brushing my teeth
I would get dressed for the day.
My mother's choice for me
was something like this
was something like this
only mine would have been
about 8" from the floor...don't ask.
about 8" from the floor...don't ask.
Let's just say I scandalized
everyone in sight
everyone in sight
the day I showed up in this:
Yes-That is really me!
I was definitely a thorn
in my mother's side.
in my mother's side.
Seriously.
The one thing she
COULD NOT BELIEVE?
That I threw
THESE AWAY
You used THOSE with one of these beauties
Those were the most miserable
things ever- I am sure they were
invented by some man!
As soon as I saw the ad
I rushed out and bought these.

| image WHY did I buy these? Well, I bought those because the ADVERTISEMENT SAID: |
I could swim, play games
and, best of all,
I could
GO FLY A KITE
which is exactly what my mother
often told me to do!
How about you?
Any Girls Only Stories you want to share?
Mums (deodorant) the word here.
After all,
YOU KNOW
I can keep a
C'mon- Tell All
ps. come back soon-
I might be up to 'sumthin'....

I have tried to erase every memory I have of those gawdawful menstrual pad belts. SO USELESS!
Tame Conditioner!! We mixed it in a glass of water to pour over our heads!! One of those Tupperware plastic glasses was always in the shower to mix the Tame Conditioner in. Who knew you could just squirt some in your hand, work it in, then rinse it out? The directions said to mix it in a glass of water, so we did. Those were the days, my friend... but they did end, didn't they!! xo
This was a blast from the past. When I was in the 4th grade my mom bought me a box from Kotex, called Miss Deb. This feminine pink box full of goodies - how soon I would be a woman and the petite little sanitary belt that I couldn't wait to wear! That summer, I had my first period. Ugh!
Some products I loved was Wind Song cologne - and I was a Breck girl, too!
Sad to say, I recognize every one of those things!
