Splish Splash.

 

So I was going to write a nice blog about one of my new listings at KeshkinGirl Jewelry, but instead, I think I have to vent a bit about how my day went, and what I did to fix it.

I walk into work today, with jobs already piled up to my nose, when someone decided to drop off a bus of the organizationally-challenged on the corner and let them come into my store.  Of course, I pride myself on my customer service skills so I do my best to help these people with their "last minute" needs when what I really wanted to do with scream at them to get out of my store and go take a few time management courses.  

It never ended.  From 9:00am to 3:30pm, it was a steady stream of people I will graciously term "special".  The medley of questions asked today rivaled someone running into a McDonald's and asking if they carry Big Macs.

About a metric ton of paper (recyclable paper, of course) later, and I was released into the wild.  I ran like my hair was on fire and jumped in my car.  I couldn't have gotten home faster if I'd jumped in a tardis.

Fortunately, all was quiet and peaceful when I walked in, so I high tailed it to my shower.  Blessed, hot water pounded all the stress out and I decide to try a new product I'd purchased as part of a bundle set from Avon.

<--- This is the set I purchased, and I took one of the shower gels out for my own use. The actual bundle is no longer available on my website, but I still have it available for a bundle price. Comment below if you want it, and it's yours.

I always like to try things before I promote them, and today was the perfect day.  

First of all, let me say that the scent is absolutely beautiful.  Not too strong, not too weak, it has a fragrance that I can only describe as "yummy-sweet-floral." All those tight muscles in my neck let loose and I felt all of the stress heading for the drain.

The shower gel is a moisturizing blend, like all Skin So Soft products, which is good for me.  I have to admit that I've always had dry skin, but this summer?  I feel like I'm sitting on a hot rock by some cactus in the middle of desert turning all kinds of colors.I guess I'm getting to that age... bah.  

My skin immediately drank up all the moisturizing goodness, and I can say now, almost 4 hours later, my skin is still soft and it still smells yummy.

Then I dabbed on a little of these ---->  They Hyacinth to be exact.  

This is the Limited Edition Avon Little Dot Fragrance Trio.  Shh!  It's actually not available until Campaign 21, but I have to rave about it.

While the original Little Dot Perfume Set actually contained five single-note fragrances and sold in 1886, this tribute set contains three of the most popular, Rose, Violet and Hyacinth.  

I find the Rose scent to be very light and delicate, and not the typical rose scent you would expect from a fragrance.  No heavy, cloying smell here.  The violet has a very vintage scent -- it actually reminds me of a perfume set I had when I was a little girl, and of course brought a smile to my face.  The Hyacinth, however, is my favorite.  It's light and sweet and I felt like such a girly-girl when I dabbed it on my pulsepoints.

Needless to say, all of the tension of earlier today is completely gone.  I absolutely ready to tackle this weekend of cleaning, Sunday School and the television, where I will be camped out all Sunday after church.

Hmm... perhaps after Sunday, I'll need another dose of Hyacinth to lift my spirits again. 

Oh, yes, and the pretty, I listed today?  

I call her Alhambra.
