Use of Theme: Sunny Days
It’s all about having fun outdoors today. First we head to South Padre Island, where it’s anything but fun while they feel the effects of Alberto. The Stirling version is very reminiscent of days at the beach where we slathered on the SPF 15 if we were even concerned. We didn’t go to many beaches, living in landlocked in east-central Ohio, so we mostly headed to the swimming pools. And there, cannonballs were the thing along with whatever dives we could come up with. Though I could never manage to get that extra half-rotation, I did perfect a single-flip cannonball one summer. Summer Break Soaps has perfected their own Cannonball, and the aftershave is a cold delight on a hot day like today. Rounding off the shave is the fragrant Paris Hilton. Not the person. A guy can dream, can’t he? Paris Hilton for Men is a light, yet projecting fragrance that gives a very outdoorsy finish to today’s shave. Sometimes my nose picks up citrus from it despite not having those notes present, but it does have a mango note and that’s fine by me.
Daily Challenge: u/Old_Hiker Day
By now, shaving outside is old hat. A few years ago, I might have taken a hike for a shave, but that will happen sometime down the line. Hopefully from the top of Pikes Peak. For now you’ll have to settle for my back yard. Enjoy the sounds of the birds as they sing happily while I shave from between their trees.
Have a great day and be kind to one another.
