I Almost Died

Well, that's a stretch. I was pretty sick, though, for the last couple weeks.

My fiance got sick shortly after Christmas, got me sick by association, we were both better for all of 3 days until he got sick again, which got me sick... Again. Now, I'm feeling better - though the mucus can leave any time now!

I purchased a bunch of samples for my Avon business and, being the curious customer I am, I tried a few. I tried the day and night cream for ages 30+ and the Moroccan oil treatment. The day/night creams are pretty cool and they say they will diminish the look of pores on the face. I have pretty nice skin, but my nose has huge pores that always show up with close-up photography. With a wedding on the way, why not try something that will diminish them? I'm on day 2 and the creams feel really nice on my skin. You don't have to use a lot, which will be nice if I end up purchasing the actual $30 bottle... Times 2 and that's $60 that better work and last a long time!!! I'm supposed to see these smoother results by the end of Day 3, so we'll see.

As for the Morrocan oil, WOW! I took a shower the other night JUST so I could use it (your hair is advised to be damp/towel dried) and I'm glad I did. Normally, this oil comes in a spray bottle, but a sample is just in a sealed envelope type thing and so the oil just spilled into my hand. I have pretty long hair and a lot of it, so I probably doubled the actual amount suggested, but goodness, this stuff is amazing! I have basically accepted that my hair will never be model hair - it will always be frizzy, annoying, unmanageable most days, but not anymore! I know it sounds like a commercial, and I know that Morrocan oil has been popular for a long time and I know I've been in denial that oil would actually do something for MY hair. But I can't believe how soft and non-frizzy my hair is after one use! My hair doesn't look greasy or unnatural either. I'm definitely purchasing that for myself once my little sample runs out!

I think I'm going to start an Avon blog or a beauty blog about product reviews and the like. :)
