A guy’s jaunt into his feminine side – is metrosexual, the new cool?

The Awesome Team

What do you guys do when you walk past those booths at malls that diffuse stuff? You know, the ones that have stuff that look like steam spewing out. Well, I sometimes try to hang around to breathe it in as much as I can, just for kicks, just to see if it has any effect on me, then scoot off before the sales person notices. It’s kinda like a game of cat and mouse every time. Yes, too much time on my hands and Yes, I should be helping my wife with the groceries instead.

Diffusing

Well, recently someone brought their diffuser to one of our programmes. I was stoked because I’ll finally get to really check out what all this steam like stuff is about. On our day long programme, the lemon that was being diffused kept me fresh and alert the entire day. Seriously made an impact on me because normally I’d be quite zonked out by the end of the day. (BTW, don’t bother trying to stifle a yawn, everyone knows you’re yawning anyway).
I was sold and bought a Premium Starter Kit from Young Living the very next day. Since then, I diffuse almost every day. My wife even gifted me a portable USB powered diffuser for my car. And today, I carry a vial of my favourite blend too. (Stress Away & Cedarwood)

All set

The items on the programme were X’mas Body Scrub, Refreshing Room/Body Mist, Calming Body Lotion and Charm Bracelet Diffuser. What!!! Where’s the men stuff?!? I mean I’ve never used a body scrub, refreshing body mist, calming body lotion or charm bracelet before. Ok, the charm bracelet I can make for my wife, that'll earn me some husband points there (She’s away on programme for six weeks by the way). But aren’t there more men-centric uses for essential oils other than what I use it for now?

Focus

Well, considering I was to be the only guy at the workshop, I decided to go with the flow and be a team player and be open to possibilities. Turns out I’m pretty ok with my feminine side (the ladies were awesomely supportive) and it was a hoot making the stuff. Now, if you’ll excuse me while I turn on my diffuser, spray my room with a refreshing mist, treat myself to a good scrub and apply a calming body lotion after that. Where's that hair band now?
Talk about life changing huh!
Catch you good folks later then.
