Reading Throughout the Day

           I’m obsessed with reading directions on products.  I love using new shampoo and conditioner bottles and I can’t wait to read the directions printed on its back.  Some are bland and boring, even a few don’t suggest ways to lather and rinse, but some are quirky and fun and have even made me giggle.  Maybe it’s just because I tend to be attracted to girly products.  I love drinking Fuze Green Tea, and not just because it says to “shake it up!”  It tells me the vitamins I’m consuming and what they do for me along with what antioxidants are included and I like the fact that no syrups are including in the list of ingredients.  I use ShopRite’s Cocoa Butter Lotion in the winter because I have very dry skin.  I make sure to “apply liberally” after all it does “restore a more youthful softness to even the driest skin.”  The pencil sharpener on my 64-pack of Crayola crayons says to “peel back crayon wrapper before sharpening crayon.”  I know I love to read novels, short stories and poems, but I can’t help myself from reading everyday tidbits that I could easily live without knowing.  I know how to wash my hair.  I know that iced tea drinks always need to be shaken.  I’m aware of what vitamins can provide for my body and that antioxidants are found in Green Tea.  I know that lotion helps soften skin.  I certainly know how to sharpen a crayon.  I just can’t help but read and I don’t mind.
