Chapters Bargain Books

Hee.

So I just bought Trinny and Susannah, The Survival Guide A Woman's Secret Weapon for Getting Through the Year

I kinda love it. I'm working through it bit by bit. So far? My two favorite pieces of advice that I plan to implement IMMEDIATELY!

1. (about making time and money for pursuing your dreams) "Maybe you go to numerous exercise classes. Ask yourself how fit you really need to be."

Well, exactly. I mean. When you have available to you the magic of Spanx, why would you ever go to the gym? Oh, well, yeah, I guess. Heart disease and the needing to remain in one's trousers. Picky.

2. (and kinda my favorite) "Once a month, wash your engagement ring gently with an old toothbrush and fairy liquid. You will get lots of compliments."

Dude! Compliments!! I'm totally doing this. I already have a ring, and an old toothbrush. Now I just need to find a fairy willing to give me some liquid. Hope it's not too sticky....

Re. #2

"Fairy" is a brand of dish soap over here.....

1. It is (sadly) NOT made of squished fairies (I know... purchased as well on the expectation. Sadly does NOT smell nice.)

2. Could NEVER wash one's hair with this concoction.......EVEN in a pinch...AS all hair would dry up AND/OR fall out.

3. In reality smells worse than what I expected squished fairies to smell like (even given a few weeks) and is harsher than the brand at home - Palmolive??? - (smelling - by the way, neither like palms OR olives - remember strangy old lady who used to SWEAR by the manicure-finger-soak in Palmolive? SUCH a liar.)

Anyhoo------

NOT fab.


Whereas YOU and I are.....

by THE by .... took me the ENTIRE drive from Meldrum to Toronto to come up with Mindy (freakin!!!) DALLAS?!?

"Fairy" is a brand of soap for dishes over here. I could send you some but it's kinda crap.........a bit like the Palmolive (having NOTHING to do with palms OR olives - the kind the lady used to soak her fingers in and say it was GREAT for manicures...advertising a BOLD lie)

Anyhoo..."Fairy" liquid, I am sorry to report - is not fab. . ......



Whereas YOU and I are...
