If someone were to ask me today for one piece of advice, I would gift them with the following piece of knowledge:

Always check the scent of your shower-gel before you purchase it.

I forgot to do that last time I went shopping and this morning I found myself emerging from the shower emanating a subtle fragrance of apricots.

I loathe the smell of apricots.

Normally, having a shower is one of the highlights of my day – at least, it gets my day off to a good start. Today though it was ruined by the sickly sweet aroma of apricots.

Damn.

So, just a tip – check before you buy!
