Peaches and cream!

What is it about fruits that attract a woman? Or is it just me?
The other day I was doing word associations with a friend and when I said ‘Sandhya’ she said ‘fruit’. FRUIT! Now why would anyone get reminded of a fruit when they think of me?
Later that evening, as I was cleaning my dresser, I had my answer. My face wash has peach and wild cherry in it, my sunscreen has orange extracts, my hair oil had gooseberry, coconut and lemon while my often neglected home facial tube lists its ingredients as apple, kiwi, strawberry and papaya. (I don’t eat like papaya!) My favorite body spray fragrances are sun-ripened raspberry and real mango with mandarin orange.
I think the love affair started when I got this mint flavoured foot cream. Now, the thought of applying something that smells saccharine sweet as mint to my foot was quite repelling. I could almost feel the ants waiting to carry me away. When I finally did use it ( after a couple of years) the effect was nothing short of regal. It’s not just about fruits, it’s more about edibles attracting me. The affair continued with Coffee Break and Kiss of Caramel (nail enamel/ lipstick shades from Elle 18). How could anyone ignore something called ‘cocoa butter’ for the face? It just cries out to me from the shelves- not to mention  strawberry face wash and the latest from Lakme - Daily Wear Souffle.    

Peaches 'n' Cream!
