Sample Bar - March

My Sample Bar package today arrived and with miserable weather and Jack being gone I thought it would brighten up my day... I open the courier bag to be greeted with a slightly battered box garnished with a bow with badly cut ends on the ribbon, open the box and ugh, more black and white.

Don't get me wrong, after the initial bore of colours (nitpicking triggered by bad mood), I got over it and I actually didn't mind the box this month, still better than the other sample service's goods and value wise, I definitely got more than I paid for, so I don't know why people keep complaining that they got things not suitable for them blah blah blah, they're samples, you don't have to like them, you try them and I challenge you to open a sample service and tailor for every single annoying person out there. People...

Ooooo!
  • Geoskincare Light Moisturiser - 50ml (full size!)
  • Carol Priest Almond and Lemongrass Facial Scrub - 15g
  • Model Co Black Eyeliner - 1.2g (full size)
  • Spa Ritual Bath Salts - 17g x 2
  • Bestow Beauty Powder - 10g
I actually tried the facial scrub today, it burnt my face a bit, nevertheless it looks fine and truth be told, a lot of scrubs normally burn my face so it was good to try even though it wasn't suited to my skin I didn't complain that it wasn't for my skin type or age... actually with all the years I've worked with skincare, I can say that a lot of people don't really know what their skin type is and most of the time it's because they are using the wrong products that makes them think they are the way they are. As for age, I have customers in their 60s with better skin than 20 year olds, so physical age means nothing in skincare.

Alright, that's my complaining done for the day, such a vicious cycle complaining about complainers... but they started it! :)

I am excited to try the rest of my goodies though... I only wish I had a bath tub for the salts... I guess I can use it as a hand or foot soak and a beauty powder for eating?! Interesting! Brushed my teeth already for the night, might try tomorrow in my yoghurt, I hope it makes me beautiful :p

A Crane A Day

I'm terrible at origami. I can only make two things, and it's not easy things like a paper plane or a boat which everyone seems to be able to make, I can only fold those serviette crowns that they do at cheap-ish family restaurants and cranes. That is all.

But cranes are very special and meaningful things for me anyway. You could say that I am slightly emotionally retarded, I don't do feelings that well and probably the worst person to come to if you are sad or happy, it's not that I don't feel them, I'm just not great at expressing them so what I would do instead was fold cranes with a wish inside and give them to people... strange but that's what I do.

Haven't felt the need to fold cranes in a long time but because Jack has gone for the time being, I folded him a crane to carry with him and said I would fold him a crane every day until the day he comes back permanently.

So this is my little project for now. Hopefully this page will not get too filled up with pictures of cranes.
