I don’t often put conditioner in my hair. But yesterday after a run, I decided to and then did something I’d never done before – I brought the conditioner up to my nose and smelled it. Usually, I put it right on my hair and miss that step.
This might sound silly, but I was struck how it made me feel. I could smell the citrus. I could smell the mint. And it made me feel good. For many of us, the world feels unsettled right now. I’ve read some take long walks and try to enjoy the beauty of nature. For me, my conditioner helped to remind me in the midst of it all, life offers moments of pleasure and enjoyment. We just need to invite them into our lives.
