Out of the Mine...What I Would Do First

Have you been as mesmerized by the story of the trapped miners as I have? What an amazing story! 69 days. 2,000 ft underground. Can you imagine? I can't imagine all of the "what ifs" going through their head the first 17 days they went undiscovered. To know you are trapped underground and nobody even knows you are alive down there. How scary and unnerving! Thankfully they were discovered and all 33 men were recovered in decent physical shape thanks to the strict daily regimen they kept to. I’m sure there will be psychological effects and hopefully time will heal those. This ordeal got me thinking about what I would look forward to most when getting out. The obvious would be uniting with my husband and family, seeing the light of day and breathing in fresh air. Then there are the little things, like using toilet paper, brushing my teeth and sleeping on a pillow. Besides those, I think the one thing I would look forward to the most would be taking a hot shower and pampering myself with my favorite bath and body products.



First off I would scrub my hair clean and condition it with my favorite shampoo and conditioner from Bumble and Bumble


Gentle Shampoo




Super Rich Conditioner





I would then move on to all of my favorite Origins products, starting with the best body scrub ever made. This stuff leaves your skin feeling so soft, it's amazing!


Ginger Body Scrub



To make my skin even softer and to stay relaxed I would use the Calm To Your Senses bath and body oil. I can see why they named it that, it has a very soothing sent.


Lavender and Vanilla Bath & Body Oil





After my nice hot shower I would keep myself smelling good and feeling hydrated with this great body cream.


Ginger Souffle



Last buy not least, the only perfume I'll wear (most give me a headache).



Ginger Essence



You can see why I mourned the closing of the Origins store in the mall! If I were trapped underground for 69 days, I think feeling clean and smelling good again would be at the top of my list for starting my new beginning. What about you? What would you look forward to the most (besides being united with your family, I hope that is a given!)? Are there certain products or foods you would have a hard time living without?

  1. You are funny. I so would want a shower. But I would die for hot food. Can you imagine what they were eating? And 69 days without a cell phone would straight up have sent me over the edge.

  2. Shower. Toilet paper. Bed.
    Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and gallons and gallons of water to drink!
