I’ve been travelling to Cape Town on business for the last three years, while here I have been exposed to some of the most erratic weather conditions from the Mother City that saying of four seasons in one day is no lie, from being caught in a random hail storm to almost being blown away by the south easterly but this by far is the most server drought I’ve ever experienced. I arrived in Cape Town last year April and while I was only supposed to be here for 3 months a year later I’m still here so basically this has become my home away from home. Dam levels are now at an all-time low with bordering close to 100 days of water supply available, almost every media source out there urges us to be more water wise and do your part to save water. It has come to a stage where they are even issuing fines to people and businesses who refuse to comply with the water restrictions.
I know you may be wondering what exactly does this have to do with manicures, but in reality it has a lot to do with your manicure, from a personal perspective when it comes to my hands I am a bit pedantic about cleanliness, the industry that I work in is not the cleanest nor the most glamourous, don’t get me wrong it’s not that I’m afraid to get my hands dirty manicure or not I have no issues with getting my hands covered in grease, hard work didn’t hurt anyone, my issue is letting them stay dirty. My paranoia started when I started calling on board vessels in the port, my colleague and I walked into one of the Captain’s cabins for a meeting, as we walked in he just so happened to be cutting his toenails, when he saw us he politely dusted his hands and extended his hand to me for a hand shake. Well that was my ever end! The rest of the meeting all I could think of was how I had this man’s toe jam on my hands!!!! That incident birthed my obsession with sanitizers and wet wipes.
On the flip side of that I also encounter a lot of different people from all walks of life on a daily basis and with that I am exposed to a lot of germs so I always have wet wipes or sanitizer handy so as not to carry those germs home with me. Growing up my mum taught us that cleanliness is next to Godliness. That being said I will be discussing the Dettol range of hand sanitizers, wet wipes and hand wash. Dettol is known for their protection of 99.9% of germs and this is certainly what appealed most to me. There are a number of Sanitizers and wet wipes on the market nowadays but Dettol is still my favourite I guess in this case you can put it down to Brand Loyalty.
So in all the Water Restrictions that Cape Town is esperiencing? Well my take on that is instead of washing your hands as often as you usually do opt to use Sanitizer or wet wipes to do your bit to save water, the small life style changes we make now will have an impact on our future no matter how small the gesture may seem.
