TEN BUCKS A BOTTLE!

---

That cousin of mine…

Introduced young me to Oil of Olay…got a bottle in her stocking from Santa…pink…fancy…pricy beauty moisturizer…

Used it for years…like thirty years…twas that one indulgence…TEN BUCKS A BOTTLE!…which was a big deal back then…

Until one day…it seemed ridiculous…why pay TEN BUCKS A BOTTLE! for Olay…when Neutrogena was good enough and so much cheaper…

And so Neutrogena it’s been…for at least a decade…a third of the price…until the other day at Walmart right next to Neutrogena…was Oil of Olay…moisturizer from the past…and shopping me thought…

Oh look…it’s only ten bucks a bottle…so decided to bring it home…

And so it is…with each opening of that bathroom cabinet…Olay user me is reminded how easy it is to normalize…accept…that which we wouldn’t have tolerated…

In the neighborhood…the city…the country…the world…ten years ago…five years ago…even two years ago…

TEN BUCKS A BOTTLE!..

It wasn’t ok then…and it isn’t ok now…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
