Hooray! +– insert happy dance here –+ 🙂 I just processed an order at LushCanada.com! Now I can wash my hair in confidence, knowing I’m using the world’s best shampoo and conditioner ever! (And no, I’m not even exaggerating.) I convinced my Mom to let me place a *huge* order with everything I want (and need), so I’m bouncing up and down with pure glee. That glee even smells dang good!
I got Ibiza Party shampoo, Coolaulin conditioner, Imperialis moisurizer, Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser (but I think it should have been called Angels with Dirty Faces, since it is a cleanser), Lavender Deoderant, Bohemian Lemon soap, and the funniest hair care treatment ever – The Strokes Hair Moisturizer. It’s a deep-down conditioner that’s supposed to reduce frizz, but get this; it smells like Irish stout. 🙂 It has real beer and real cognac in it. I think that’s horribly funny.
Since I ordered it from Canada, it made it all dirt cheap, too! Well, not *dirt* cheap – the whole order still came to $70 – but it’s a lot cheaper than buying it in England. AND, that shampoo and conditioner is so much cheaper than all the other alternatives around here and on the web. It’s impossible to find shampoo like it because it contains practically no chemicals at all. Everything here, even the expensive “salon” shampoos and conditioners, are chock full of them. It’s so easy to tell the difference. Lush stuff leaves my curly hair frizz-free, and it only takes a minute and a half (I actually timed it once) to brush out my hair. Normally I can spend an entire hour just brushing it out because it curls so quickly and then gets all tangled up. But no more! Hurrah!
Now I’ll smell all yummy. Mmmmmm. Lavender, flowers, parties, beer, cognac… isn’t that what all girls are made out of? 🙂
I went driving a little bit more today and I actually drove on a real road rather than just a parking lot. It scared me to no end, though, because kids were just getting out of school, so all these really bad high-school-aged drivers were out and they’re crazy. (I know, I know, look who’s talking, but I swear. They’re so pushy.) I didn’t like that, but once I got back into the parking lot I was fine. My Mom even convinced me to try and drive up to 40mph to see what it feels like. I only got up to 30 because there just wasn’t enough room. But, I didn’t hit anything, so that’s the good news. I didn’t jerk the car around, which is also good. Then she had me do figure eights. I had no problem mastering that, I’m used to it. I did that on horses all the time. Granted, cars go a lot faster and it hurts more if you run into something, but still. I did a wonderful job, and after a while my Mom had to tell me, “Quit, I think I’m going to be sick.”
I parked some more, still made it well-within the lines, didn’t even hit any curbs. I’m fine parking, I like parking, I can handle that. Now if only I could avoid roads and spend the rest of my driving life parking, then I’d have nothing to worry about. 🙂 I think I just really need a smaller car, I don’t like that big huge suburban. It’s *too* big!
What else did I do today… I can’t remember now. I’m too excited about the Lush stuff. 🙂 I’m off to skip around the house for a while to get rid of some of this pent-up energy.
