Perks
So while the last few months have been a bit of a whirl – overworked, underpaid (if I’m paid at all) – the last few weeks have given me a glimpse of hope into the world of retail: samples! Samples and samples of new products to try and order as suppliers entice and cajole with their presents of scents galore. Ironically, my sensitivity to smell has made me avoid strong perfumes altogether, and yet I still love the subtle smells of moisturizers, hand creams, bubble baths and candles. Ahhh…. candles. So having packages delivered filled with samples of these delcious aromas is driving me into a scented bliss. And when the nights are long, the days are cold – at least I have an arsenal of candles, bubble baths and luxurious creams to tide me until the next shipment arrives.

rock with it + roll with it
I’m so guilty of buying in bulk. When I like something, I will buy in multiples. Lip balm – check! Hand cream – one in each purse and each location I sit at for longer than an hour. Moisturizer – one for each mood, chikka! The multiple winners? Rosebud Salve has come out with a minted version, and minty it is indeedy! I bought one and then a few days later – ran into Beautymark to buy another. L’Occitane Hand Cream – but buyer beware – buy the travel sized versions or customs will toss it to the trash. I have glared at one such officer and retorted that she was throwing away a very good moisturizer and should just pocket it for herself than let such a good thing go to waste. (what?? I was upset! It was my ONLY tube!)
So it’s girls night out this Friday and I can’t wait to pull out my dancing shoes. I’m gonna rock with it, and roll with it… cuz that’s just how I do.
It Ain’t Easy Being Pretty!
I don’t know about the rest of you girls, but being “me” is pretty much a full-time job. And by “me” I mean moi primped, groomed and presentable. I’m this close to hiring a PA. (And oh, about $50G’s short of doing, so.) So if like me, you lack a lackey, I suggest planning ahead. This means using the winter months to take advantage of long sleeves and long pants. Winter is the BEST time for laser hair removal. Most places discourage plucking, waxing or threading the areas to be removed, and what better way to hide the awkward moments in between appointments than cute leggings and cozy sweaters? Unless you ENJOY shaving every other day and appointments to the salon every few weeks, then get rid of that unwanted hair for good. I know there’s been controversy about the permanency of laser treatments, but from personal experience – soooo worth it. And no, it ain’t cheap either, but in the long run, you’ll be happy you took the plunge. Hey, it ain’t easy being pretty!
