How I "Bare"ly made up my mind....
ok, gimme a break on the dumb ass title. Being witty does not always come easily (no, really, I'm serious)
What a glorious Friday it was, dear readers ! Everyone should get off work at 1pm on Fridays - it should be a law (written in blood and wax sealed). As soon as I scampered out of the office, I was off to Sleep Country to peruse the mattress selection and get an education on all that is comfy ! Good ol' Jim greeted me at the door and whisked me into the showroom to show me the selection. I was like the Princess and the Pea, folks. We started firm, because, well, that's what I like.
"this one's too firm"......
Off to another corner, where I dived into a pillow top covered in lavender flowers....
"this one's too soft"......
And then, I was introduced to the Sealy Posturepedic Glen Marie Plush. Oh my.
Now, I need to get Mr. Lovey back to the store in the morning to test out this little slice of heaven. It's tentatively being delivered on Sunday (that's the day AFTER tomorrow -- gotta love instant gratification)
After rolling around on mattresses, I was off to the mall. I'm pleased to report that the mall 2 miles from our house has a Bare Escentuals boutique. As you'll read in a previous post, I had finally caved and had tried BE. I'm still liking BE -- my skin seems happier, I seem to notice that it's keeping the shine down a bit better than liquid and it's new and exciting.........so why not ? The sweetest young thang greeted me warmly as I floated into the boutique and went on to tell me all about the eye colours, brushes, brush shampoo and glimmery magical face dust. I had jealously noticed a row of high chairs with ladies being "worked" on at the length of a long counter - I secretly wished I was one of them. Soon after, my spry guide suggested I sign up for a "consultation".
ORLY ?
Another lovely lady kindly informed me that my "consultation" would be at 2:45 and I should return then. Score.
I busied myself through the mall....glanced into windows and made my way to Starbucks. Grande Iced Americano with an XTRA shot. Heaven can never have enough espresso.
2:45 arrived and Leah, a blonde pregnant young lady with lovely eyes, greeted me and continued to dazzle me with all that is BE. She "did" my eyes in a selection of plums and lined them with a nice, dark plumish sparkly number called "Legit". Then I was blushed, buffed and lipsticked. I left with the following:

- Flawless Radiance
- Pink Champagne lipstick
- Legit eye colour
- Well-Cared For brush shampoo
- A classic liquid eyeliner brush
- Refillable Mirrored Compact
Chaaaaaching. Life is good.
THEN, off to Costco to purchase some of our favourite low-fat burritos, bread and clementines. And then, home.
All in all, a FUN afternoon full of mischief and wonder.
