Ever heard of being “noseblind”?
Here’s a definition: The gradual acclimation to the smells of one’s home, car, or belongings, in which the affected does not notice them (even though their guests do).
I’m totally guilty of this, a lifer actually. Growing up my mom owned a hair salon in our basement and it had this perm smell that lingered on, as an older teen I worked in a daycare and got scolded by the director for my coat smelling like cigarettes and I didn’t ever smoke! Guess who did? my parents, not sure how I was supposed to get around that one when I lived with them and today even under the control of my own house, I three boys who continually have farting contests and an aging dog with mouth tumours. yeah, I would lying if I said my house didn’t stink, even though I technically can’t smell it myself. I’m noseblind.
The good news is there’s a cure, not for being noseblind, but for curbing the smell! I was just mentioning this to my husband the other day and complaining that I don’t like to burn candles with the kids around, but we need some fresher air in the house. Thanks to Febreze, I have a solution!
