About wivabef
I'm a mom. I'm a wife. I'm a writer. That's my life. So I hope you'll forgive me if I don't give the exact size and dimension of the Little People inhabiting my daughter's toy box. I imagine you are just as capable of reading ingredients from a bottle as I am cutting and pasting it from a manufacturer's website to make it look like I'm writing something substantive. I am from the Personal Experience school of Epinions writing. That means I tell you about a product based on my Personal Experience. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR EPINIONS. There is nothing we can do about the Prescriptive school of Eps writing. They have already cut and pasted their way into the world of blue and red buttons. We have some valiant red button and blue button people in there, drawing outside of the lines, skipping the exposition in favor of allegory and forgoing the cookie cutter approach of fill in the blanks. But the clone and splice troops are gaining ground. I am afraid we have already lost in the shampoo department. BUT DON'T GIVE IN! FIGHT FOR THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED. Talk about a shampoo's bubble pompador ability! Throw in a red herring in the ingredients list (I always like "hair of newt") Be different AND informative.
