Bathroom Spying for Dummies


I wish my toilet looked this pretty

I suppose it's just human nature that people poke around in other people's bathrooms when they're visiting. It seems so forbidden. What hidden secrets lurk in the medicine cabinet? What might you find stuffed beneath the bathroom sink? I think the idea is that something seedy lies beneath the polished marble surface of the vanity.

Not so in my house. What you see is what you get, and it ain't pretty! We don't have medicine cabinets, for one thing, so everything is in plain sight. You can see what brand of toothpaste we use and that we squeeze from the middle. You'll see how worn our toothbrushes are and exactly what hair care products we spritz into our hair. You can even see all my CoverGirl make-up and lotions. Everything's out in the open.

If you look a little more closely (and unfortunately, it's hard not to), you'll see the residue of morning grooming in the sink itself. There's a minty glob of toothpaste hardened to the ceramic. Tiny little whiskers coat the back of the faucet from my husband's morning shave. The hairbrush is full of long, blonde strands.If you pick up the Scope, there's probably a sticky outlined ring of mouthwash that dripped down the bottle. Really, we've hidden nothing.

So if you come to our house and think you're going to spy around in our bathroom, good luck. Our bathroom spying options are geared for dummies. It would take a real mastermind to figure out what (besides cleaning supplies) might be hidden.
