In spite of the fact that I am being somewhat smacked with my weekly cramps, I am loving the weather! It is only in the low 70's, very breezy and very dry. This is like the perfect day in May and a nice hint that fall is just around the corner. I am so excited!! I can't wait to pull out sweaters and fashion boots and scarves and such! Some of the B&B Works goodies I got included body sprays of pumpkin and apple scents. They are so delicious!! The minute I feel better I plan to finish decorating the inside of the house for fall and then after Labour Day we can start adding pumpkins, cornstalks, mums and our fall wreathe for outside. Yay! Still 10 days of August to go! Today is a good day to curl up with a book!
Anyone here a fan of NYX products? I want to place an order soon for some stuff, like creme blush, glitter liner and lipgloss. I wondered if anyone recommended anything else. Their prices are pretty decent and people seem to usually have positive things to say about them. Of course, I want a million other things, but really, how much do I need? Hehehehe...
ShadowAddict~I know someone like that and not, it did not sound snooty. It sounded realistic. There are many rich people who have been drastically affected by today's economy and others who don't even seem to notice it. I know one who whines when her bookstore isn't busy and blames it all on Kindles. She doesn't quite get that no one has money to spend and well all don't have wealthy husbands to pay our bills for us. She told me we should build on to our house so I would have a room for more books and that once owned tarot collection. There are people in my neighbourhood who are millionaires but even they skipped having landscaping or mulch or housepainting done again this year, even though we all need it badly! We just can't hand over that kind of money and not have something for emergencies, or others who have kids starting college. It is very frustrating!
As for spas, we only have a few in the area, but not too many people spend to indulge these days. Everyone is holding on tight to their money. But I do hear about how kids under age 10 are brought by their mothers for a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure, etc. I swear these kids have had more pampering than I have in a lifetime. I guess to each their own or we would all go mad thinking about how silly it all is. When I was their age I was running barefooted through the grass in a long skirt playing "Little House on the Prairie" with my friends. Thee tree houses served as our homes. We were happy kids, with long streaming hair, dirt under our nails and scrapes on our knees. All part of being a kid. Kids don't seem to have that anymore and live such sanitized lives. Not doing them any favours!
Off to lunch and indulge in a book!
