Diary of a Metal Mommy

Are you going trick-or-treating tonight??  I am.  Okay, technically I’m not, but I’m going with Sullivan so to me that counts!  Plus I’ll get to have all of the things he doesn’t like (bring on the Almond Joys and Mounds bars!!) and the sticky stuff that Vivian can’t have because of her braces.  Good thing I recently bought a shaper from Hot Mama, good grief.  The muffin top is going to be out of CONTROL.

So yesterday I’m at Macy’s and stopped by Estee Lauder to take a whiff of this perfume I read about in my favorite perfume blog, Now Smell This.  I had tried the new David Yurman at Nordstrom and was reading about it on the blog, where author Robin mentioned that she thought Estee Lauder’s was similar. (and cheaper. of course I really liked the David Yurman scent and of course it was $120 a bottle.  It even smells expensive–which is probably why I like it.)  Before the woman leaves to get me a sample she hands me this tube of something-or-other and tells me to twist the cap.  ??  I do, and it starts vibrating!!!! (and I put it in my pocket.  just kidding….;-))  Just as I’m about to start looking for the massage oil she then explains it’s a vibrating mascara.  Excuse me?!  What will they think of next?!  Supposedly this is to separate your lashes, making them more defined.  All I know is that I won’t spend $30 on a mascara, especially not one that I’ll also be buying batteries for.  Ridiculous!
