Free Samples!

I'm a sucker for samples, promotional products, anything that I like I can get for free, I'm all for it. One time I bought $50 worth of stuff from Beauty.com just so I could get samples of stuff from Philosophy, Stila, Kinerase, and a plethora of other things I can't even remember. Was it worth it? Oh yeah. I also got a nice little red patent leather bag for makeup that I now can't live without. I think there were a total of 12 samples of stuff, which is a lot if you think about it. Some were almost full-size. Bonus! I haven't seen anything like it since then, but if I do and I have some extra cash...I'll be sure to get it.

I Have My Hair

Okay, so every 4-5 weeks...I put my hair in the hands of a very skilled hairdresser/colorist. You see, I am prematurely gray, thanks to both (yes both) of my parents also being prematurely gray...and my brother too. Being blonde, though, it's a little easier to cover up. Sometimes I wish I could just get a full head of hair transplant so that I didn't have to go through the coloring every four weeks, then watch the roots grow in. I know, I know...that's not what it's for or how it works. But still, it's nice to think about.

Oh, and "I have my hair" is something I used to say when I was little...guess even as a toddler, I was a bit vain about my hair, heh. :)

I Have Now Seen Everything

Okay, now I have seen everything...a padded panty? You have got to be kidding me. Although, I guess for women who are built more like boys, this might be a good thing. But for people like me (no pun intended) this is the last thing on earth I would ever wear. Like I want a bigger ass? I don't think so. And with padded bras, it's going to come off eventually...so why bother? I have heard of implants for your backside cheeks...so this really shouldn't surprise me. Yet it does. People amaze me sometimes, you know?

I Don't Like Spam!

Some of the e-mail I get in my spam folder makes me chuckle, or laugh out loud even. I get stuff touting male enhancement, phishing for accounts I don't even have, magic diet pills, and even stuff for hair transplants. That is rather comical, seeing as how I have to get my hair thinned out on a regular basis, or else I end up with a mop on my head. There's one place headed up by Dr. Larry Shapiro (yes, I clicked on it...curiosity killed the cat!) that if I did have hair transplant needs, I'd look into. But seeing as currently have a full head of hair...I think I'll pass.

My Obsession with Skin Care

I think I might have found a line of products that will help me combat my adult acne, as well as stave off aging a little bit. It's called md Formulations, and I use their line of glycolic acid products. The miracle product for me is their Vitamin A Clearing Complex, which has 5% glycolic acid, 5% salicylic acid (never seen it that high before in an over the counter product), and 1% retinol. It's causing me to purge a little...but the breakouts clear up in one day! I'm hoping that if this stuff really works, and I can get my skin totally clear that I can start using a copper peptide product to help with the scarring I have. I have pits and depressions, unfortunately...maybe not as bad as some, but it's bad enough for me. So, we'll see if the md Formulations works!
