Impulse Buy

Warning: this post may be boring to men!

So, I was at Walgreen's trying to fill my prescription for the steroid the dermatologist prescribed. She told me it would be expensive (great!). Walgreen's has to order it. I guess they don't carry it cuz no one can afford to buy it. She also told me to buy this particular lotion because it doesn't have any additives or allergens. Why you ask, because all of the skin on my hands and feet is falling off. Yep, it's just peeling away. It may sound harmless to you but it hurts, hence the reason I will bite the bullet and buy the stupid steroid and lotion. Maybe I'll be asked to do an interview along side A-Rod!

So anyway, while I'm trying to find the lotion, that must have gold in it, I remembered the other day when I was watching The View. Ironically, it was the same day I went to the dermo and was at home waiting for the lawn boy to show. Barbara Walters had her make-up artist demo-ing make-up under $10 that she uses, some on Barbara. There was this lip plumper that she said actually worked. Now, why I would be interested in that kind of product is beyond me except I've noticed that lately I take notice to the stupidest stuff. The label claims it works in 60 seconds.

So, I bought the crap, as an impulse buy, which seems to be a pattern with me lately. (Hey, I could have bought the theater size box of Hot Tamales or the bag of all black jelly beans.) So what do I do? I go home and put it on and stand in front of the mirror to wait for a noticeable difference. What do I hate more than standing in front of the mirror, staring at myself? NOTHING!! I'm not sure if it really works but it is a little tingly. Sort of like eating salsa with chapped lips. You've all been there!
