The Rumors WERE True.

So did you get free make up? cologne? shower gel? moisturizer?

I went to Macy's on day 2 of this fiasco, and all that was left to choose from were 2 different moisturizers, and 2 different shower gels. I chose Clinique moisturizer. I was happy. Free stuff makes me smile. :) I was back at the mall yesterday and the deal was DONE. Big red stickers that said "OUT OF PRODUCT" were plastered over the sign about the event. I live in a decent sized town, so maybe smaller towns still have some goods left. Check your Macy's or Dillard's if you haven't already.

The reason for my trip to the mall was to visit the Clinique counter anyway. I have had great success for a year now, using products other than their 3 step skincare line. However, in recent weeks, my skin has FREAKED out and I've had a constant breakout. Not sure what is going on just yet, but thought the 3 step was the FIRST step in the right direction. Oh how I've missed the "Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion". They say it's like a drink of water for the face and OMG. It is.

So anyways, just an update on the make up freebie. It's legit and if you run really fast, you might find something left for you. :) Good Luck!

FREE MAKEUP!

Starting today, high end cosmetics companies such as Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, Estee Lauder and others, are giving away free cosmetics! YES - REALLY FREE! Read this article for the deets!:

A VERY belated Happy New Year!

Hi Kids,

Welp, every year, right around or right after Christmas, I get sick. It seems like i stay pretty healthy thru the year... The kids and husband get colds and flu and i, for the most part, avoid getting very sick. I really believe it's because my mind tells my body "We CANNOT afford to be sick right now. We've got to hold it together a little while longer." So as soon as we've made it thru another year, and another holiday season, i make up for lost time and collectively ail from every illness i managed to avoid the year prior.

So, happy as I am that the kids are back to school, and the hubby is back to work, i'm completely worn out, and have accomplished almost nothing since Monday. In fact, i've still got Christmas decorations in piles all over the house, waiting to be properly packed up and put away.

And make-up? puh-lease! I haven't so much as swept powder across my face since Saturday, and that was only for my little sister's baby shower. lol.

But i still wanted to drag my unkempt self over to the computer and say Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2009 is a happy, healthy and blessed year for you all.

<3,

RSM :)
