Happy Thursday, y’all. And in honor of this wonderful February Thursday (this is an oxymoron because no day in February is wonderful), I would like pay homage to an old friend. Most of you gals probably know her. She was the scent of our tween years. She had one scent that came in a multitude of flavors. I call them flavors because they actually all smelled the same–different names, different colored bottles, same wonderfully amazing fresh clean scent.

I’m talkin’ about Herbal Essences. Ya know, Hello Hydration, the bright turquoise one that smelled of “coconut?” Or what about Long Term Relationship, that shocking red bottle filled with stuff that would suddenly made your long hair all the more luscious and desirable, in a long-term way.  And how twisted are you? Because I’m totally twisted, and my wavy locks just need that bright purple bottle to calm their shit.

I don’t know about you guys, but I loved this stuff. It reminds me of camp, because this was how the cabin smelled during shower time. Obviously we all had different kinds (we don’t all have the same hair type, duh). But like I said, they all actually smell the same if you think about it, so you get how my cabin smelled.

But the real reason I’m thinking of Herbal Essences today is that two weeks ago, Herbal Essences and I re-consummated our love. But not the Herbal Essences of our tween years, rather their descendent. The ones with the clear bottles where you can actually see the color of the shampoo? The ones that just smell like roses or passion fruit or chamomile, etc? The real good stuff.

Yeah, Herbal Essences is back and better than ever, and you too can find it at your neighborhood Walgreens. I feel like I’m 10 again, and I’ve never felt better.
