The Best Part of Waking Up ...
... is being berated by your husband.
And to think, I was running around YouTube trying to collect old Folgers Coffee ads when someone went and put all the best scenes together already! Thanks, haroldhupmobile, for this offering of vintage sexism!

Don't be a Douche
The YouTube comments are filled with a lot of "get a sense of humor" but don't be fooled by the same old crap.`My first entry on this blog was a collection of Lysol Douche Ads (yes, LYSOL, the house cleaning chemical company) and my opinion on douching remains the same: another unnecessary so called "health and beauty" routine that benefits neither your health nor beauty.
Ladies, do yourselves a favor and actually marvel at the power of your vagina- and it's ability to clean and regulate itself. See a doctor if you think you have a serious problem, otherwise there's no reason to fill your lady parts with chemicals based on an expectation of what it should feel, smell, taste or be like. Please also remember that you are a person with intelligence and personality- your vagina, although unquestionably great, is not the end all be all of your power as a woman or a human being!
