REMEMBER TO READ LABELS

Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Cream from Bed and Bath. My story about this product follows below.

I bought some Sconces to go with my mirror. Next week we will be getting carpet in the bedrooms.
About reading labels---Donna gave me the Bed and Bath Cherry Blossom cream awhile back. We did not read the label. We both thought it was body cream. I always use lots of creams. I just started using it a couple of weeks ago and one morning I woke up with a bad rash and welts on my neck. The cream was the only thing different that I had done. We figured I must be very sensitive to the cream. I bought some Lubiderm cream to use on my neck and shoulders and the rash cleared right up. I always hate to waste things so I decided the cream would be OK for my arms and legs. Wrong decision. My arms broke out in a bad rash. Donna took the cream upstairs so I wouldn't be tempted to use it again. After she got it upstairs she noticed that the label said Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Cream. You are supposed to wash it off in the shower, not leave it on your skin all day.
I have to laugh when I think back about it. I thought it was very thick cream but it smelled so nice. Lesson learned----always read labels and directions.

  1. That's sad you got such a bad rash but a funny story, too. I love that Donna had to take it away so you wouldn't be tempted to use it again!
