Life in the Middle Lane

I love Bath and Body Works fragrances. I wear the lotions, and body washes and sprays. Any of my friends will tell you that I have around 8 bottles of each (ranging from almost full to almost empty). I kick myself all the time because instead of wearing them, I always convince myself to save them for a special occasion. And really, how often is there a special occasion?

Well today, I needed to feel pretty, so I used one of my Favorite body washes, Pear Blossom and I could just feel the smile come on my face.

Out of the shower, I could not bring myself to cover the Pear Blossom with my normal (cheap) lotion smell. So I tried to think of a way to use the Pear Blossom lotion without using so much of it (you never know when they will discontinue a favorite scent, damn them). And I found a solution.

I also love, and use daily, Vaseline Intensive Care Unscented lotion. I always keep a bottom of it around, mainly because it keeps me soft and I also like the unscented scent.

So I mixed the Vaseline Unscented with the Bath and Body Works Pear Blossom.  And guess what I smell like?

Heaven!

If you mix unscented lotion with scented lotion, you’ll smell like the scented. Seems like a no-brainer, but I’d never tried it before.

Now my Bath and Body Works lotions will last even longer, I won’t have to wait for a special occasion, and I’ve been sniffing myself all day.

So I can be thrifty AND flowery, fruity fresh and soft all day.

Happy Friday party peoples!!!!

I hope you are having a great day and are feeling and fresh and fancy as I am.  But if you are living in the path of an oncoming hurricane, I hope that you are hunkering down for the storm. And I do mean HUNKER down! Hurricanes (the storms) suck and Global Warming is real.  Just ask Al Gore.  He was talking about environmental stuff when I was in high school.  I remember reading a book that he wrote when I was in the ninth grade.  We had the choice to build a Earth Day bulletin board for the class or read this book.  ….

I chose to read the book.  LOL  And by the way, Hurricanes (the drink) are super yummy.

But I digress.  Today is wonderful beautiful day, and I made a life altering decision.

I cut off all my hair.  Oh, I don’t mean I got a hair cut and now its short.  I mean, I cut ALL my hair off.  It is right now, about a half an inch long. And thank goodness that I have a gorgeous face (not even kidding a little bit), because oftherwise, I would look like a sad pitiful mess.

I reach up to touch my hair and I am surprised by the air up there. When you don’t have any hair, there is nothing to hide behind.

All I am is face and face parts.  I have big lips, a big nose, a big forehead and prominent cheek bones.  And other than my glasses, you can see everything much clearer without all the hair distracting from my beauty.

I know I sound a little full of myself, but the Universe is egging me on.  No less than 8 people that I don’t know have stopped me in the street or in the stairwell to tell me how beautiful I am.  And my eyebrow waxer told me I had fierce eyebrows to match my fierce haircut.  And her co-worker told me I could model.  So, there.  I’m hot and they proved it.

Pictures will be posted soon!!!!
