Default I slpurged to award myself.

So after my divorce in '95 I could not afford good makeup anymore. Well now remarried and feeling better about myself when I got the "Clinique" makeup offer from Dillards I'm thinkin' "Yep it's time." Especially since I am getting a Turkey wobble instead of a nice smooth neck. So I make my 30 mile trek to the nearest big town, Victoria, about 77,000 people and they have a mall and everything. Cool huh? Well I show the salesgirl (with beautiful skin, hair and body) my neck and after she stops patronizing me with "it don't look bad" . Liar Liar pants on fire! She does bring out this "stuff" that defies gravity. At $52.00 for a thimble, I get a free bag of goodies with the purchase. Well if that is not enough I end up buying new makeup and the whole deal. We will not talk about how much the bar bill was but I am still in shock. That was a week ago and gravity is still winning. Now I know I feel better about my body but I am really worried about my brain. Jeeze! What was I thinking? Oh I have not bought clothes yet and now I am scared to go do that alone but I think my husband realizes now he is better off not taking me to the "BIG TOWN" anyway. Mattie

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Your so funny!!!! I to live in a small town and about 30 miles away is a town of about 80,00. i would go to the store with the make up counters. But i used to drive there and spend 25.00 for mascara. i really dont think it did anything different but i guess it made me feel as if it did. So i think its nice to get something nice once in awhile even if it just makes us feel good

Oh mygoodness dont you hate it when you get suckered into things! I must say and I dont know where or how I could post this because I am not familiar but for those who like Mary Kay - I am a consultant and actually only order for myself so i shouldnt even call myself a consultant. Anyways......if someone could fill me in where I could post great deal i have when i order that would be great. I give everyone 30% off their entire order but wasnt sure where I can post such things or if I can even. I also am a Pure Romance consultant - which I LOVE and would love to share stuff with that as well but am not sure again - where I can? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

sorry to get off on a blabble time.....

Just think that make up will come in handy sometime - if not - i am a stickler for taking stuff back that you dont like or it doesnt work. Heck you pay enough you would think they would take it back no problem. If not I am SURE that bag you got from Clinque is cuter then....... well you know what imean! I bet it is cute! See - well worth the money *L*

Lisa, I love Bare Essentuals too!! I order it from QVC.

Grandiose16, Good for you!! You're worth the extra money--give the product 3 or 4 weeks, if it doesn't do what you thought, take it back, I always take back what I'm not happy with, and most department stores are good about taking it back.

Emily, do you have personal websites for just yourself when selling those things i would not mind ordering from both of them sometimes. I have bought mary kay and pure romance products. so let me know how to order something sometime so that it benefits you. I used to sell Avon, but i bought too much and did not even sell anything
