I went to the the mall on yesterday with dirty Fila and the red and white signs screaming "Semi Annual Sale!!! " made my body turn into Bath and Body Works. The have a great sale every January.Usually I load up but this time I had a gift card that I got from work to spend on myself--$20.00--so I decided to limit myself to a purchase with just the gift card. I loaded up a few weeks ago when the sale was not on so I really did not need anything.
Have money will spend. See shoes will buy.
I looked and looked. 5 for $25.00.....well, I have so much of their bath collections it is not even funny. I have entire collections of their scents. Having been taught the Estee Lauder way of using fragrance....layering, you just cannot have one thing. You have to layer the scent to make the fragrance last all day. So I have the bath gels, lotions, creams, sprays, soaps, massage oils, room sprays, salt scrubs, sugar scrubs and essential oils in several of their scents. "I mean everything in the entire line so that the scent is layered in many forms. I have too many to name. I literally do not have room for all of it to fit in the bathroom. I will not run out of anything for a long time. Each time I go there I discover a new scent. Just yesterday I discovered Cotton Blossom. That will be the next collection I buy.
Back to my dicovery. I use all Estee Lauder skincare and make up products. I use the Fruition which is an alpha hydroxy fruit acid to exfoliate. I noticed on yesterday that I had some flaky skin and I had run out of my Lauder exfoliant so I was shown the Bee Good Honey
Facial by the clerk. It has jojoba beads and needs to be stirred before using. It is just the beads and honey. I used it today for the first time and it is heaven. The honey on my skin felt divine and the jojoba beads were rounded so the exfoliation was gentle. Now my skin feels extra soft and smooth. I recommend it to anyone. Take your shoes down the mall and get some or order on line. With the sale, all the True Blue Spa products were buy one get one free so I got two jars. It is great stuff!
After the detour I looked for shoes. There were several shoe sales going on at various stores and Rack Room Shoes was going out of business and everything was 50% off. I walked that entire store--up and down every single aisle twice--looking for shoes that jumped out at me. None did so I did not buy. There were many I could have but in keeping with my new year's reso-shoe-tions, I can only buy 10 pairs of shoes this year. All these shoes were fall and some spring. I decided to wait. I was good believe it or not. I really could not believe it and neither could dirty Fila. Normally I would have walked out of there with 5 pairs of new shoes and would not think anything of it!
What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!
