A little "pretty"...



So from time to time I realize that I need to get a few things for myself. Now these are "things" that I consider a luxury, although, the truth is that they are in fact a necessity, and after I mention them you'll understand why I say that. During one of my "late-night, can't sleep" events, I turned to QVC and watch Bare Escentuals. Leslie Blogget was talking about her new Buxom colors of lip gloss and I found myself contemplating calling up and ordering. I didn't, however I decided to pop by Ulta yesterday and check them out. $15.00 would buy me lovely, shiny, plump, glossy lips that would surely tantalize my husband as well as moisturize my chapped lips. SOLD! My thoughts were: I really did need a new lip gloss and I would just end up at Walgreens to buy something I didn't really want at almost the same cost, so...?

I've gone from a fine fragrances gal to a Calgon user, so while in Ulta, I decided to see if there were any sales on non-Calgonish body scents. I stumbled across Sula. They are fragrances and body oils that smell heavenly!!! As I stood there sampling the different delicious scents, one stood out above the rest and I kept gravitating towards the same delicious, intoxicating scent: Butterfly Kisses!!!! I decided then and there that I deserved this $18.00 indulgence. I bought it along with a few other items that I "needed" (as I can't be expected to go out of the house with no make-up for fear of frightening children and the elderly), and promptly put some on (just a dab) as soon as I got out of the store. I LOVE IT!!! It's subtle, lovely, and oh-so-feminine!!!! Did I HAVE to have it? No. Do I have buyers remorse over it? Not a chance! I deserve a little "pretty" from time to time.
