As an 8 year-old girl at my first camp in newly reconstructing Poland, I’ve came pretty prepared with my toiletries. My mom equipped me with a bar of soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, but I think I might’ve forgotten my self-confidence. During a time when all of us girls went about our daily hygiene rituals, this one girl (whose father was a rich pastry-maker in our town) brought out her snow white large sized bar of Dove soap. I can’t fully describe to you the envy that overtook me when I saw how much that Dove soap lathered, and how wonderfully clean it smelled. It was crisp, yet balmy, and suddenly, whatever it was that mom gave me that resembled soap was a second class option. It didn’t really hit me again until last year, when, shopping for body wash, I walked by Dove products and I smelled the original white bar of soap. It may sound silly, but it filled me with memories of camp, and how wonderfully youthful and naïve my life once was. This one was, of course, my winner. I purchased a big pack of Dove soap and I hurried home impatiently to take a long shower that evening. May I just say it was delightful! That bar of soap is here to stay. Dove soap is my Lovemark.
