That's Empress to You

Documenting the adventures of a middle-aged urban-variety single mother. How she does it, how she fails. The good the bad and the ugly. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. Let's just say 85% thrill, 15% agony.

Photo-115 This stuff smells like insecticide. Seriously. I'm walking around smelling like I sprayed myself in the face with Deep Woods Off. I bought it because it was on sale at Safeway for $11. And it has the words "Age" and "Perfect" in it, so obviously it's supposed to help with the problem of having to strategize the angle of your head when you're having sex, and maybe even that leprous-y looking skin on the upper lip.

But I'm thinking, as I sniff the air around my face, which I can't really avoid, since my nose is ON my face, I'm thinking, if you go to the right place, you can get two martinis for $11 and I know for sure those would make you feel a lot younger than this crap. So I am done with economizing. I can look and feel beautiful and carefree, plus smell pretty, like a flower, not like a camp counselor at Bible Camp. And have nice cashews at the same time.
