Thread: Peaches and Cream--Who Knew???

A while back I found a really good price on an assorted 6 pack of the 16.9 fl oz Mary Ellen's Best Press. Each bottle also came with a spray nozzle. The original bottle I purchased about 3 years ago I now have filled with Sta-Flo starch but I was wanting to try the Best Press again.

Today I took out the bottles and selected Peaches and Cream. I was hesitant about this scent because it sounded like it would be too sweet or artificial smelling. However, after pressing using it for the past 30 minutes I feel better than I have all day. My neighbors are repairing their back deck and making all kinds of loud noise (table saw, air compressor, automatic nail guns, work men arguing and blaring radio music--for 3 straight days!!!). I think maybe this scent has a bit aromatheraputic properties. I highly recommend it. Now, I need to find more items to press to stay "happy".

Not knowing anyone with this allergy....does it extend out to nature...I.e., flower, cut grass,sweet grass.....just curious and feel sad for you that you cannot enjoy pleasant scents......

Unfortunately, yes. But there is no rhyme or reason to mine. Very heavily perfumed flowers affect me like paperwhites, lilies and a few others. I can't go into a florist shop anymore. I have to go down the detergent aisle at high speed. I am in complete abject misery at work from coworkers whose fragrance affects me. Cut grass does not bother me. Hay doesn't bother me. The smell of a barn, no problem. Spring blooming trees like lilac, dogwood, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and apple blossoms, so far I am ok. Most scented candles are bad but a few are ok. I can usually cope with pine scent and anything that smells like baked goods, Yankee candle brand only at this point. Even some deodorant scents will give me a splitting headache. It is a horrible affliction and is affecting more and more people. Some researchers believe using fragrances will someday be frowned upon as much as smoking in enclosed public places. They suspect it is mostly the artificially, chemically developed fragrances. I do believe those affect me worse but I have also had a problem with the natural ones I have mentioned. And it gets worse every year.

I'll remember that next time I get any.

Ohh that sounds lovely! I will have to try that one out!
