That Fresh Clean Feeling

Not that I talk about it all that much, but I am a product junkie. I guess the fact that I could never really get into drugs had allowed an opening for me to become way too excited about beauty products. Eye creams are number one for me. Haircare and face products tie for second place. Recently, however, toothpaste has started to become a new interest of mine. I happened upon a shop out in Omaha (of all places) that carried Marvis toothpaste. I bought the tube of jasmine mint flavor, and instantly fell in love. The flavor was amazing, but the frothiness of it (as opposed to the foam of the standard toothpaste) amazed me. Last Friday I happened to go into Merz Apothecary for the first time. It is the most fantastic store in Lincoln Square that carries all sorts of wonderful goodies. I found a toothpaste from India that is reddish colored, and is made with an assortment of Ayurvedic herbs to promote oral health. It tastes a bit like brushing with an herbal muscle rub (there is camphor and menthol in it), but it's quite good. Needless to say, I have found something else to get into. At least it is a good habit to pick up. My dentist will be happy.
