Monday is always a very busy day at work. My head was still in the weekend, but the build up of work on my desk was telling me otherwise. ‘I can get through today,’ I told myself as I jolted myself into my expected professionalism and slapped on a smile. Break time was almost over and the wear and tear of climbing the office stairs was already telling on my work speed. This woman was in need of a fix, and I needed one quick!
Luckily for me, I remembered I had something naughty but nice in my bag. Just as I was about to take a bite from this piece of heaven something disastrous happened. Tunde, the post boy, bumped his post trolley into my chair and whoosh my creamy stirred latte went all over my desk and … my dress! OMG!!!! Not my beloved Jasper Conran. This was definitely not one of those awful but hilariously funny moments. My heart was in my mouth, I was presenting to the boss today. What could I do now with coffee all over my dress, forming what looked like a map of Antarctica? Well, I did what any sane woman would do in the circumstances. I jumped into action and reached for my trusty baby wipes. Phew! It was a close call, but as sure as eggs my baby wipes saved the day. They helped me mop up all the coffee and scrub away all the stains on my dress, neatly, restoring its look completely. Ah! Panic over and breathe … where would I be without my baby wipes? I quickly put away my snack and coffee cup. I didn’t want to take any chances. Weekend, what weekend?
Later on the train home I got to thinking how funny it was that me, a single, childless, twenty-something had been saved that day by ‘baby wipes’ of all things. A product, whose natural usage was so far removed from my lifestyle and current stage of life. So it got me thinking … how do we use baby wipes all over the world today and how did we ever live without them?
Aside from assisting with everything baby-related indeed, baby wipes have become the ultimate ‘do-everything product,’ cutting across every segment of the population.
Baby wipes can be used to remove make-up, to freshen up, to clean hands, to clean anything in fact ranging from those dusty hardly worn shoes to the bedroom fan. It’s any surface, any time, anywhere product. I’m sure people all over the world use them in many weird and wonderful ways. I myself have tied them around my leg to stem nicks after shaving and my mum cleans the fridge with hers. I also know of one beautician who puts a few drops of witch hazel on a baby wipe and then uses it to freshen up her face before going to bed. Hmmm … I might try that one.
So the question remains, how do you use yours?
