![]() Aiden turned to me under the sheets, pulling me into him. How I splurged on the tube, took it home, rubbed the lotion into my neck and chest before bedtime. When I was younger and first married to Aiden, before we had Cindy. Watching her graceful hands hold the tube, I can’t help but remember a similar product I used to buy. And I know you can’t smell it where you’re sitting-of course you can’t-but the scent is just…let me tell you it is everything.” It’s just perfect for moisturizing on the go and has this gorgeous floral aroma. “Isn’t this luxurious?” She pops the lid, applies some product to her fingertips, rubs it into her hands. From the tissue emerges a tube of scented hand cream. Hey, why not the beach? Can’t you just imagine yourself there?” She stares at the bottle, transfixed. “An incredible bottle to stow your liquids for the gym, around town. “Can you believe this?” She turns the bottle around and upside down, running manicured nails over its surface, unscrewing the lid, screwing it back on. “Oh, my goodness!” She reveals a water bottle. Opening the tissue, she pulls out the first item from the box. ![]() A little bit of this, a little bit of that-everything you didn’t know you needed to make your month of May extra, extra special with a selection of indispensable things.” She smiles wide into the camera, lips stretching not a single line forms around her mouth. “Now, I’m sure you are all going to be blown away by this month’s selections. The underside is printed with dark pink script that reads, Treat yourself… to your very best life! Inside the box, the contents are wrapped in pale green tissue, small packages sealed with gold stickers. “I’m so excited to share this month’s Best Self Box with you all today.” She lifts the lid, teasingly slow. “I’ll be right up!” I call after them, and stay with my phone on the sofa, where the video of the unboxing is on the screen, waiting. Time for bed.”Īiden emerges from his study, takes Cindy’s hand, walks her upstairs to help brush her teeth and start the bath water. “Until next time, when together we fly, fly, fly!" When we get to the end, pony wings falling gently closed around the pink-haired body, shedding glitter into a field of roses, Cindy reads the final lines with me. A story about a young girl who goes for a night ride on a flying pony named Veronica. I scoop her into my lap, open the first page. I can’t imagine the Red ones would be so easily clickable but, even so: chance I don’t want to take. I should avoid watching unboxing videos in front of Cindy, anyway, just in case. What was I thinking? Why does this matter? But even when I put down my phone, take the book in my hands, I see that long fingernail, under the seal, teasing…. Edging her long nail under, she peels it back. The words Best Self Box are printed on top purple and green floral designs curl around the sides. A woman with long, blonde hair gently curled, full makeup, false eyelashes, injected lips, acrylic nails. “Mom!” she protests, crawling onto the sofa, sitting next to me, the book in her hands. My eyes break from the phone, move to her, to her big smile, to the book she holds. “Read this one, Mommy, please.” Cindy, seven years old, appears next to me.
