On being a product tester

The bottle reads:

In a warm bath, Johnson's® Soothing Vapor Baby Bath, enriched with rosemary, eucalyptus and menthol, sootes babies with colds as it gently cleanses.

So why am I soaking in it? Well, the story starts about 2:30 this afternoon. Someone is coming to our door. A slight panic ensues. (Does someone have a student at 2:30 that we forgot?) No, no. *sigh of relief* It's just Nora. She can't stay, but she brought me this symbol of her loving care.

Or maybe not. Maybe there's a subtle message here about how I've been whining about this cold all week. There is that logo on the front of the bottle that says, "No more tears." Is she calling me a crybaby?

No matter what, I owe her a trial of the product. Here is my review:

The directions said one capful for an infant tub (I don't fit in those any longer) or three for a full-size. I figure that I still use more water than a baby so I used five capfuls. Essentially the stuff is like a cross between bubble bath and Vicks®. Not unpleasant. I think I may feel clearer now as well. My conclusion--if I had a baby with a cold, I think I would use it.


Hopefully, Nora, I'll get rid of this cold soon. Then you won't have to hear about it any longer. I'll give you back the rest of the bottle as well. You can write your own review. lol
