One day my son came to me and said, "mom can you start buying the real Cocoa puffs cereal? I just had some at my friends house and theirs taste much better" I was floored and shocked. I had been buying generic brand cereals for years up until that time and no one ever complained until that moment. I instanty turned into my mother who was frugal in a good way as she would always say, " When I buy the name brands I'm paying for whats outside of the boxes, and when I buy no frills brand cereals, I'm paying for whats inside of the boxes and both brands have the same things inside" she would always say this. And at that moment I found myself telling my son the same exact thing. He was a good sport about it though and just responded with a shrug of his shoulders. Well now that left me thinking and I came up with something to try that I still do til this very day. I went out and bought those plastic see-through food storage containers with the lids that have pourable spouts. I stored our cereals in them. This way there would be no boxes to compare to because truthfully speaking, all those sugery cereals taste the same when eaten. Several weeks went by and I heard no complaints and the cereal was still being eaten. I even watched my son go into the kitchen and make a huge bowl of the generic brand cocoa puffs. He ate every chocolate morsel and even turned the bowl up to his mouth and drank the milk, which totally proved my point.

Perform these steps when showering and they will surely leave you feeling very clean all day and make your deodorants and perfumes last longer.
1.  regulate your shower to the warmest water you can stand, and rinse your entire body.

2. (Using a bar of soap) lather your entire body from head to toe, rinse well (using only the soap first, gets rid of the top surface dirt and odors. When you use a cloth first, the dirt and odors get trapped into your wash cloth ICK!!)

3. Then, wash your hair if need to at this time and apply conditioner,  rinse well.

4.  Next, lather your washcloth, or bath brush, or loofa, with your bar of soap and wash entire body, rinse well. You should see an increase of soap lather.

5. If you use shower gel, now pour a quarter size amount on your spoof or in the palm of your hand and smooth all over your body, rinse well.

Note:  Many think to use shower gel as their main and first soap, but believe it or not, shower gels work best and their scents last longer on a clean body surface, and besides applying it by this time allows you to use alot less gel since you are basically clean at this point, which prolongs the use of your shower gel, which also saves you a ton of money especially if your the type that buys those really expensive brands from the lingerie or bath /body shops like I do. I shop for that stuff once a year when they have their big sales. Bath and Body Works just after New Years and Victorias Secret in the summer. No Fooling. 

5. After you've done steps 1-4,  Exit the shower and  pat your body dry with a clean towel. 

Apply deodorants and perfumes as usual and you are squeeky clean and set for the day.

In conclusion, I would like to mention and advise that during the performance of this bathing technique that it is only completely effective if while washing you NOT MISS THE FOLLOWING SPOTS: your ears (in and behind), any crevices and both orifices thoroughly, and  armpits (which stay deodorized better if also shaved of hairs as hair traps bad bacteria that causes odors)
