Thanks To Greg Nino - I'm Thinking About Smells And A Scratch and Sniff Business Card.

I kid you not, I have butter softening on my counter ready to make some cookies when I logged on to AR and there Greg Nino was - talking about sugar cookies and key lime pie smells.

All I can think about now are smells. 

It's tough to be in a house that smells - but lets also remember that along those lines, we need to make sure "we" aren't "sugar-cookie, key lime smelling" real estate agents - because that can be a tough smell as well.

We've all smelled it - way over-done agents wearing excessive amounts of cologne, perfumes, lotions, hand sanitizer, etc.  I even had an agent give me a scratch and sniff business card once - that was weird and it smelled before I even thought about scratching it.

So - here are my thoughts about personal smells:

• If you smell, take a shower.  Clean is the best smell going.
• Don't add extra scented lotions or perfumes if your deodorant and bath soap is already scented. That gets over powering.
• Keep in mind, hairspray has a scent - sometimes it really lingers - again - take a sniff check of your spray and don't add more than you need to.
• Get everything out of your car that smells - because it doesn't matter how neutral you are - you'll absorb any smell that is in your car. 
• Take a whiff of your clothes, laundry detergent and dryer sheets add smells to your clothes.  Pay attention when adding more scent to your game on routine.
• Last thing, your breathe.  Brush your teeth and tongue - yes both!  And don't forget to carry breathe mints - I keep them handy everywhere and use them often because you just never know.

So now,I think I will bake some cookies, take a deep breath and think about Greg Nino with every batch I bake!
