shopping shenanigans šŸ›ļø The illusion of choice.

Post image

My supermarket had a twofer on shower gel, so I got 4 bottles, then the next time I was in I got another 4, then I was in another supermarket & they had other scents, so I bought 2 more. This is where it gets crazy: I then went out of my way to go to other shops searching for new scents! I'm hoping that by posting this here I can finally break my shower gel habit.

It's called Original Source. They were available in stores in my country about 10 years ago but I haven't seen them since. However, I recently ordered a second 6-pack off Amazon. My favorite is with Peppermint, it gives such a cool / tingly feeling that I haven't felt with any other shower gel.
