Remember when I posted about how much my skin was pissing me off?
Since then I decided I would take a radical step that I had been considering for some time and I decided I would stop slathering my skin with various drying agents and acids and I would just wash it twice a day with mild soap and then put some kind of moisturizing lotion on it. No stripping, drying, scrubbing, oil free, oil drying, acid, zapping, or blasting.
It has totally worked. Well, sort of.
I went and visited the Clinique counter and I got some face wash and some moisturizing lotion and as long as I wash my face twice a day and then put the lotion on, things are MUCH better.
I have a lot of breakouts right now because I get lazy and I don’t shower (I know, gross!) or I don’t wash my face at night and all hell breaks out.
But when I use it I am very happy with the Clinique.
It’s phthalate free, which is super important to me, and if you join the Club Clinique thingee online, they send you emails to let you know about free shipping specials. Today I got one such email and ended up ordering some lotion I needed, and I got free shipping and FIVE free samples. Two because I was ordering part of the Three Step line, and two because I am a Clinique Club person and one because I am awesome. OK, maybe I only got four free samples, whatever. Free samples = awesome.
Also, I would love to give you a review of the Mario Badescu drying lotion I finally caved and ordered but it’s not freaking here yet. What gives, Mr. Badescu?
Also, is this weird? I can’t get the taste of eggnog out of my mouth. I don’t even like eggnog. Good God.
Also, I just signed and initialed seventy baziliion documents relating to my mortgage and I have a question. Am I supposed to actually read this shit? Because I so did not, and I am totally seeing myself marching up the steps to the poorhouse, swathed in gray rags, holding a tin cup and a scrap of bread, muttering “I guess I should have read those mortgage documents.”

Better than me, who did order the Mario Badescu drying lotion, received it days later and have YET TO USE IT because I’m so lazy lately.
All that matters is the part where your annal percentage rate is carved in stone (and I hope to God you got a good fixed-rate 30-year and none of that ARM shit) and how much your monthly payment will be. And where to send it. Everything else is just blah blah blah.
My mortgage documents have been sitting in a box in my basement for six years. Never looked at ‘em.
CONGRATULATIONS!
I’ve been waiting for the Mario Badescu review!!!
Oh, and I signed about 487 papers and I have no idea what they said. So far so good.
Ha! I have NO IDEA what the inch-thick pile of mortgage papers says! NO IDEA.
I’ll be sauntering up in my gray garb too.
I didnt read mine either - I figured that’s why I had to pay the lawyer - he makes sure the papers won’t bleed me dry and I sign my name where necessary. Nerve-wracking none-the-less!
