Well Gals, its time for me to share another little story that's been on my mind, hope you will enjoy this:
I was driving down the road, looking at my coin holder, which holds everything (tweezers, toothpicks, old mints) but coins, when I wondered if all gals are having similar moments, as myself. The tweezers have been added, because I was always catching the hairs on my "chinny chin chin" in the vanity mirror of my car. Now, I have many mirrors in my home and a very nice makeup mirror as well, but no mirror works as well as the one in the car. Maybe its the sunlight that catches my "Italian mustache" and chin. Whatever the case, I found myself using my tweezers in the car to catch the little follicles. If you happen down the road and see me plucking away, please don't honk, I don't want to lose an eye!! Actually, I gave up the tweezing, when I found out these undesirable hairs can be (moderately painfully) removed at the dermatologist office. This was a breakthrough for me. Laser hair removal here I come! There is nothing like smelling your own burning hair from your face, and consider this as a highlight of the day. I never got so excited for something; you'd think I'd won the lottery! And, when do we begin to find excitement for such a personal maintenance issue? I mean, did we always get excited about feminine issues?
I, personally get excited when my favorite lotion, lipstick or hair product is discontinued. The Body Shop had a great mango lotion that disappeared, soon after I got addicted. If you have a bottle, I would pay high dollar for it. And, I have a lipstick that has been nearly licked out of the tube for that last morsel. I can't bear to throw it away. Its like an illness to keep an old tube of lipstick, as if the "lipstick fairy" will replace the old tube. My mom used to wear Revlon's Mostly Mauve and I remember digging through a bin at the Rexall Drug in 1981, trying to help her get every last discontinued lipstick. I know she still has a tube or two with the orange Rexall sticker. I bet it was $2.98!! She was lucky! I have considered going on eBay to see if anyone has some Love's Baby Soft, Heaven's Scent or Tussy deodorant.I am holding out on AVON to make those necklace lip glosses again. Kinda like soap on a rope, but better! I can't imagine there wasn't a bigger consumer interest on them. They continue to make that skin so soft stuff and bubble bath. They are missing out on a large profit, when they discontinued the necklace.
Anyhow, I hope you aren't as emotionally distressed by cosmetics and female issues as I. If so, tell me what you miss. We may be able to start a "used product" website.Oh, I know that would be gross!! But seriously, if you see a kid with an AVON lip gloss necklace, you know you can take 'em on and get it for me!! I would be forever grateful.
