Spring cleaning has hit our love shanty hard the past few days. Not only has the snow stopped for the time being (whoop whoop!), it's actually warm. And we all know how happy this makes me.
In an effort to rid my house of accumulated knick knacks, dust, feathers, and empty beer bottles from a long, cold winter, the weekend was spent throwing things into the thrift store pile.
Oh, and I decorated our guest room. So friends, no longer will you be plagued with mismatched photos of Filipinos gazing at you while you sleep. Not sure what's worse; the gazing or the mismatchedness.
And then, I arrived at the bathroom medicine cabinet.
Which is when I decided that I officially order too many things from Sephora.com. Everybody gets 3 free samples with every order, which sounds totally cool. Until your cabinet is filled, as mine is, with vile after vile of kinda trashy Gucci perfume, and you find yourself pondering whether that perfume was a tester for your husband or yourself, and since you're late for work, you just put it on, and then you realize, yes, it was a man's cologne, which (excuse the run-on - when you're late for work, life is a run-on) is far better than accidental baby prostitute scent.
The rest of the day is spent not getting too close to people who are known to have allergies to most foods in addition to random scents, because you don't want to be that person, amiright?
Add on top of Sephora shopping the fact that I work with spa industry folks, and a girl's got more samples than any one person needs.
Which brings me to my point. Can you say "no" to samples? Obviously, yes, it's humanly possible. But... it's FREE. How will you ever know if you love Eau de Baby Walrus if you can't compare it to an equally racy lineup of famous-people scents (did anyone, ANYONE really think that Brittany Spears was going to make a scent that was anything other than prostitue spray? Ugh. It probably has glitter in it).
Anyway, I've decided I can't say no to free stuff. It's in my bloodline to always buy 3 instead of 1 when it's a buy-2-get-1-free kind of deal. If there is ever a zombie apocalypse and our form of currency changes from dolla dolla bills to small perfume testers, I'm winning.
