WHERE DID ALL THESE ADS COME FROM???

As my few "readers" know, it has been some time since I've posted any blogs.  Now, today, when I finally did post BEWARE OF FREE SAMPLES, I also found FREE ADS.  When did they start putting all kinds of mostly ugly, definitely not with my consent, advertisements right on my my blogs???

So now I'm competing with Weight-Loss, and Valentine Candy boxes (next to each other seems counter productive)?

NUTS!

BEWARE OF FREE SAMPLES

                                   

You know how when you spend a hundred or so dollars in the cosmetic department, the salesperson throws in a handful of free samples?  I used to really like going home and looking at all the small packets and reading about all the awful stuff they were supposed to cure - "clogged pores, undernourished skin, tired skin, aging skin, moisture imbalance, low collagen matrix, and, of course, 'wrinkles'."

Until today.

In yet another one of my sporadic, frantic efforts to bring order out of chaos, I looked at a bunch of these packets which lie around in bathroom drawers, waiting patiently for me to seek help for all of the above.  I tore one open and started to smear it over my "tired, aging", etc. skin.  This one promised to "exfoliate, detoxify, and retexurize" (all in one fell swoop?).

Usually there is only a tiny dab or two to get rid of, but this one seemed to have enough to exfoliate a horse.  Not only that, but it was especially gooey, and once before I had left an also generous packet half full in a drawer, only to later find it had oozed out and covered everything in its path.

So I was determined to use up every last drop this time.  Bad decision.  I smeared and smeared, trying to heed the sinister warning:  "Avoid Eye Area"  And smeared - what are the boundaries of "Eye Area"?

By then my hair was beginning to droop and stick to the cream, in serious danger of also being exfoliated, so I worked my way down to my neck, and there was still gobs of the damned stuff.  At that point I gave up, tossed the rest in the wastebasket, carefully stuffing it into an empty toilet roll - and started to "Wash Immediately."

After about fifteen minutes of vigorous scrubbing, drenched to the waist, I realized the only way I was ever going to get this stuff off was to jump into the shower, but how could I with my eyes clamped shut"

I think it best to kind of stick in the house for the next few days.  Until the signs of the "Retexurizing" wear off a little bit.

Anyone want a few "Camomile Bamboo Gentle Facial Scrubs"?  Or a small sample of "Age-Defying Restoritive Night Cream"?
