Posted in Lessons I Have Learned
Okay, I am going to warn you up front. This is going to be a post about Lip Gloss and Expensive Handbags. I wish I could tell you there was going to be some deep philosophical revelation at the end of the post...But. it ain't happening! LOL1st - Lip Gloss
In 1973 when I was 8 years old Bonnie Bell introduced the very 1st flavored lip gloss ~ Lip Smackers! I LOVE Lip Smackers! Not long after this product was introduced my friend Kathy and I discovered it. We use to save every penny we could to go to town and buy a new tube! I have been using this product for over 30 years now and I never smear the deliciousness on my lips without thinking of my friend Kathy! This weekend I got a very rare chance to take just my daughter shopping and I introduced her to Lip Smackers! She got Strawberry and I got another tube of my favorite...Watermelon! (My 3 year old got into mine last week and destroyed it, so I needed a new tube.) This is just one of those "I enjoy being a girl!" type products for me and the fact that it reminds me of the happy days of my childhood is a real bonus! I hope my daughter is still loving Lip Smackers and remembering a fun shopping trip with Mom when she is 42!
2nd - Expensive Handbags
If money were no object I would have a closet full of expensive handbags! I would probably still buy my clothes at K-Mart, Wal-Mart and Thrift Stores, but I would carry a great handbag every day! LOL There is just something about a really nice handbag. Back in the days before kids I actually bought several really nice handbags. One Dooney and Bourke and 2 Coach. I have owned these bags for over 13 years and they are still beautiful and in great shape! (I bet you never expected that a person who makes purses from Capri Sun Pouches would love expensive handbags! LOL) Anyway all this purse talk came about because I found this really cool website recently where you can rent high end handbags! LOL It is called Bag Borrow or Steal. The website claims you can borrow from hundreds of designer handbags for prices as low as $15.00 a week! (Of course I did see some that were as much as $850.00 a month! LOL) Now, I won't be renting any designer hand bags in the near future. But, someday my kids will be grown. My youngest should finish homeschooling before I am 60 (hehehe) so just watch out! One of these days I am going to be scooting around town in my wheelchair with a Vintage Gucci handbag perched on my lap! (And of course I will have several tubes of Lip Smackers tucked inside!)
Who says we homeschoolers won't know what to do with ourselves once our children are grown! LOL
When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl,
I float as the clouds on air do,
I enjoy being a girl!
