A heightened sense of vanity lends itself to obsessive grooming habits.

I haven't succumbed to plucking or waxing body hair yet, although the hair I have on my head has been alternately tortured and treated lately. I am currently a bleach-blonde bombslut. The upkeep is tedious, as my hair is very short; roots become visible after only a week or so. I've only just started using John Frieda's Sheer Blonde Lightening Shampoo (and conditioner) but I am already seeing results. I found it for cheap in the toiletries section of my local Big Lots (where I also purchase my cheese balls and arizona green tea in bulk). I bought a 99 cent sample of Beyond the Zone's Last Call Hair Masque from Sally's. I have yet to use it; I hope it works since the bleaching process has turned the texture of my hair into that of straw.

Bath salts (eucalyptus & lavender) were buy one get one half off at Walgreens. I thought the bath would be more fragrant. Still, I had a nice soak among a few tea lights with my Mariah playlist (*~Sweet Butterfly Kissez~*) cooing in the background.

I've been pleased with Cerave's Foaming Facial Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion. My "T-ZONE" (specifically my forehead) tends to get splotchy and irritated but this face wash/moisturizer combo seems to tone and smooth everything out nicely. I'm glad to have found something that works since warmer weather is starting to settle in, which never bodes well for my complexion.

Am I pretty now daddy? Am I pretty now?
