I've discovered something wonderful, lotion bars.

This is the tale of a happy discovery.

Recently, last Wednesday to be exact, I went from
Tulsa, OK to Oklahoma City, OK with almost 200 Tulsa Technology Center students, teachers, and advisors to a statewide HOSA competition. HOSA stands for Health Occupations Students of America. During the opening ceremony, they announced that there were about 1,500 people in attendance. Most were high school students. Some, like our EMT and Paramedic group were post-secondary students.

The event lasted two and one half days. During the second of two days, while my
CPR/1stAid partner and I were waiting for our turn at the CPR/1stAid skills competition, I happened upon a display of 'bath and body' products. It was very simple. Two women had set out an array of items on a folding-leg table in the lobby outside the conference hall at the hotel. I just happened to walk by and see their display.

Now, if you know me, you know I don't spend a lot of money on fru-fru bath and body items. But, these things caught my attention. First, they smelled wonderful -
Peach Mango, Oatmeal Milk and Honey, Pearberry, Grapefruit and Lime. Next, they felt wonderful - smooth on my rough hands. What could I do but feel just a little happier? It was as if the sun had come through clouds and a fragrant breeze was wafting by.

One thing led to another, and I BOUGHT the item that smelled the HAPPIEST to me that day. It was a Peach Mango lotion bar. I had never heard of lotion bars. (I thought I was hopelessly out of touch, but I've asked around since then, and very few other people have heard of them either.)

A lotion bar looks like a small, decorative soap. But, it's lotion. It lasts a long, long time, because you just swipe it over your palms and knuckles and around your cuticles, and then you rub your hands together. It was truly amazing. My hands were dry from frequent hand washings during clinicals at hospitals and during my hours at work. After using a lotion bar, the 'sandpaper' feeling on my palms was replaced by totally smooth skin.

I was impressed enough that I bought the lotion bar. I was intrigued enough to ask one question after another (if you know me, you know this is my way) to learn more about these products. The women were knowledgeable and helpful, friendly and patient with my questions.

They told me these bath and body products are made with natural ingredients. The primary ingredients for the lotion bar I bought are beeswax, four vegetable oils (coconut, safflower, canola, and sweet almond oil), apricot kernel, and Vitamin E.

They told me their best customers are nurses, because they wash their hands so often, and they need something to keep their skin healthy and soft. Another advantage of these products, they said, is that they have no petroleum products in them. This is an especially important fact for people who wear latex gloves to protect themselves from
potentially dangerous bodily fluids.

I gave this some thought. I didn't think long, but I thought hard. I'm already an EMT-Basic. I'll be an EMT-Paramedic soon. I'll be an
RN after that. If I stay on track, I'll stay in school and do my BSN and MSN and NP training. But, that's a long way off.

I didn't think all those things, my entire educational future, in those moments. Mostly, was just thinking three things:

1) The lotion bar is wonderful. The fragrance feels 'happy' to me, and the bar has made my hands smooth in a matter of moments.

2) They say Nurses are their best customers. I'm on the road to becoming a nurse. I'll be around nurses for the rest of my working career.

3) How do I sign up??? I need more of this product for myself. I need to show this product to other people, so they can experience it, too.

In a very short time, not even half an hour, I had asked, "What do I need to do to sign up?" In a short time after that, I signed up to sell these wonderful lotion bars.

Q. Why?
A.
1) They smell good.
2) They feel good on my skin.
3) They're made with natural ingredients.
4) I want more.
5) I want to tell other people about them.

Within an hour first sight of these lotion bars, I had joined the ranks of Country Bunny Bath and Body as Independent Representative Number 7733.
