Beauty is a relative term. I don’t claim to have it, or have had it, or even had a passing acquaintance with it. But I do admit to wanting to stem the aging tide as much as possible. Vanity may not be a strong vice with me, but she’s still there, poking me with a stick. Why? Because she can.
Even so, we all have our little habits when it comes to our bedtime. Wash our face, brush our teeth… that kind of stuff is second nature. I have a little basket on my nightstand that holds my favorite money wasting beauty tips. Shea hand cream, and footsie cream, too… argan oil lip balm…. Dead Sea eye cream….and yes, even perfume.
Perfume?? Well, yes. Look, I know dang well it does nothing to keep you looking young. But it makes me feel nice, and pretty, and feeling young is just as important, if not more so. And that, my friends, is the true secret to looking young 😉

The right perfume can make you wanted too.

No Kidding. A sniff of Wind Song will get my face buried behind your ear.
Pavlovially effective.
The floor is now open for snarky comments.

The wrong perfume can also send you back to the shower because your Hubby says you smell like an undomesticated yak.
I remember Wind Song! And Emeraude, too 🙂

Opium will get my sweetiehearts neck nibbled on in very short order, and the kids sent to their rooms as soon as it is realistically possible.

I don’t know whether we’re easy or just ‘sensitive.’
In some cultures, yaks are fair game, no?

No country I ever want to visit, LtC 😉

Yes, and in some cultures, goats and camels are highly desireable.
And they beat women for showing ankles.
I’d rather be here, where women are women, men are men, and sheep are ignored.

Some third world grad student could wrangle a master’s looking at how footsie cream and perfume affects dromedary desirability. Publish it in JMEMYLA ( the Journal of the Middle Eastern Man Yak Love Association). Love to hear what Ann Barnhardt would have to say. Get that crazy eye thing going.
Gosh, Aggie, sorry about the hijack. 😈

You assume, of course, that there would be a grad student in that place 😉

Bet that’s where some of the Fort Zucchini garrison comes from! The gummint is probably funding the school, too.

You wear perfume at night? I’m lucky to wipe the rings of mascara from under my eyes in the evening.
