When it came to skincare, I typically just slathered on some Bath & Body Works shit and called it a day — a day in which I smelled of various fruit combinations, or champagne cucumber-melon rhubarb pie. But there came a point where my skin offered an ultimatum, in the form of: USE NATURAL INGREDIENTS OR I WILL MAKE YOU SPLOTCHY AND ITCHY. So I don’t let soap touch my skin. Instead, I use this wonderful shower oil that lathers into a rich foam. End result - skin that makes a newborn babe pout with envy.
Got that image, boys? Cuz I’m about to ruin it with the one of me NEARLY PLUMMETING TO MY DEATH as I slipped on the oily bathtub floor just now. (Okay, I’m not sure how I could “plummet” from my current height of five-feet-seven-inches, but just know it was not one of my most graceful moments.) Anyway, it was okay, because my SHIN broke my fall as I pitched forward toward the ledge of the tub. This created two welts (like a second and third kneecap, really) and an AWESOME bruise covering the entire front of my leg below the knee.
I would post a picture, but fear the sight of my blinding white gams would ward you off this blog forever.

Oh, jeez! That’s something I would do. Actually, the other day I fell up the stairs and into the door when I came home from work. Yeah. Smooth. I still have the bruise on my knee. It’s black and lumpy. At least I know I’m not alone in the wonderful world of Accident Prone.Anyway, thought I’d stop by and say hi. (This is lettersoflove on Twitter.) Have a great day and take it easy for a while. I’d use it as an excuse. :D

Eek. At least you didn’t become a statistic.I slipped getting into the shower once and as I was falling I couldn’t help but think that I would be just another person who slipped in the shower, hit his head and died.I caught myself - I still don’t know how, but I was sore all over the place because of it.

Were you dancing to Beyonce in the shower? Because that’s going to have a direct effect on how much sympathy I give you.
