Holaaa,
How are youuu???? Omooo you should’ve seen me literally bouncing in my mental seats, as I calmly (impatiently) counted down to Friday, just so I could give you premium gist!😅
Anyhoo, let’s start with you. How’d the week pan out for you? You good? Whatever your response is, c’mere… I just wrapped you in a very cozy, warm and squishy virtual hug.
Guys, today’s gist is gonna be culled from one fateful afternoon when I went strolling with a friend of mine. (By the way, I completely recommend a stroll date with anyone you’re comfortable with. It’s both healthy for your physical body and keeps the conversational juices flowing in a way that’s super laid back yet intimate).
So this friend of mine and I, went for a stroll and I was soaking in the moment. A few moments later, I saw her make a very cringey facial expression and her face twisted in disgust. Out of concern, I asked what the matter was, then she asked me; “Didn’t you smell that?” I’m completely lost now. Smell what plis? I respond in the negative and she says she’s glad I didn’t. Now my curiosity is completely piqued. Madam what did you smell?
My friend went into a very graphic illustration spree. She needed me to understand how terribly offensive the body odour she had perceived from the guy who walked past her had been. She used different nose assailing metaphors that got me cringing in prospective disgust, should I ever be a victim of such putrefying odour. She concluded by saying she didn’t feel like the person had bathed for a week.
By the time she was done, I honestly was absolutely relieved that I didn’t partake in her nose assaulting experience. Personally, my pet peeve is odour; mouth, body… you name it. Arrrgh!! I can’t stand odours.
I mean… You sef reason am na. There’s something appealing about someone with a pleasant scent. They tend to have a soothing aura. You just want them around. Now here’s the interesting clause; because they know they smell nice, this boosts their confidence level, which in turn positively re-enforces their attractiveness. My question is; why would anyone choose not to be intentional about their scent?
If you’re reading this and you think mouth washes, deodorants, perfume oils and sprays are a waste of money/luxury. Please change your ways 🤲🏼. You honestly don’t know what you’re missing. You enter bus early in the morning and the person beside you is smiling because they feel you’re a good omen, as per you’re smelling like freshness, fruits and Arabian nights!!
Or imagine hugging someone and letting you go feels like sheer torture for them, coz you blessed their senses with different shades of pleasantness! Oh the blissss🤤
Asides good body hygiene (which includes minding your diet; coz you smell like what you eat too) I need you to become a student of Scents. You honestly shouldn’t have to break the bank to get good Perfumes. Know what to mix together that would make you smell like 20 million bucks.
That said, I need your recommendations as well. If you know any perfume/spray, that would give me rich madam vibes, biko epp ya gail. Suggest in the comment section. Please add price ranges as well o. So I will not carry 10k to price 200k perfume🤣.
I’ll stop here for today: Crux of the matter: As much as you can help it, stop letting your mouth smell like yesternight’s suya and onions; stop letting your body smell like wilted cabbage or the stench from a pit latrine 😫. Bathe well, Groom well too.
Have a fantastic weekend Comrades, you deserve it!

See me reading this like I was observing the events behind😂. Thanks for sharing.
Do have a pleasant weekend too.
You write pretty well. Not really good with perf. prices though, but any perfume within 5k to 10k has to be ok. "Chanel" is certainly one of the best out there for women (based on polls I've seen)... Bless your soul
