ENTRY #3 AN EUCALYPTUS AFTERNOON

On a very hot summer night coming home from a soccer game Brandon decided to take a cold shower after playing in the sun for almost the whole day. Brandon recently bought a eucalyptus plant because he wanted to know how it felt since everyone kept raving about how good it feels after you shower. After he placed his plant above his shower head and started to shower normally, the only thing he observed about the experience was the strong smell the plant had and how fresh it felt.

    later on in his shower he felt as if he was in a twilight movie, sensed his body getting cold making his skin feel like a bath in the sun; ''Is this how Edward Cullen feels like?". It sends him a signal to his brain that interpret as a Stimulating blood flow at the surface of the skin, which gave him the tingling and cooling sensation.

        

    Eucalyptus is more for the feel of the effect rather than the taste it produces, it has a very toxic compound that humans cannot have as food. The plant has a very strong sharp smell, some may describe it as if one was hiking along a airy stream inside a pine forest. Also it's a good way to relax the muscles especially coming back from a activity that involves a lot of movement.
