Dammit, how do I not know this?
I only knew it because I went to Ulta for the very first time 2 weeks ago, and when I signed up for the frequent buyer club, they told me about the brow wax, and my brain went "Hey, that's THIS month! Go do that!"
That's insane troll logic!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We decided to explore a farmer's market at an actual farm not too far from here. It was advertised to be open until 4, but all the vendors decided they wanted to leave at 2, and we got there at 2:05. However, the farm shop was still open, and the owner felt bad so she gave us a pound of hot sausage for free, and we bought a pint of super yummy blueberries. We'll definitely be going back.
We found a cute little furniture store on the way back. She paints beautiful furniture. If you like country style, check it out here. She'll ship anywhere in the US. I think I might have her make something to store my teacups in.

No, it's the same thing, if it's what gives you points for your purchases. I just couldn't remember what it was called.

Oooh, excellent! I just got foundation samples yesterday (I couldn't remember what shade I wear, so I just got samples of what I thought was right. Once I try them over the week, I can order a full size.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday, Tep!
I thought of the brow thing when I didn't use it on my birthday. But I did at least think of it. So maybe next year. And I think I have to resign up for the membership deal.

They just opened an Ulta near here; I should check it out.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
One just opened here as well, and I do not know: how do you pronounce it? Uhl-ta? Like ultimate?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had my eyebrows waxed once. They were really thick and dark, and I ended up looking like Joan Crawford. Haven't done it again. I'll stick with careful tweezing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is Ulta like a Sephora with services? That's what I glean from a cursory look at the website.
I can't believe I not only have a Sephora card, but I've also earned shit on it. I'm still holding out on redeeming until I get enough points for something without fragrance, but I think I wore makeup once last month, and that was because I left home without Vaseline.

Ulta is like Sephora with more drugstore makeup. They have half the store which is more sephora-esque makeup (minus a few brands) and then half the store is Revlon/Maybelline/etc (and things like brushes and hairdye and so on). I like it, but I'm a bigger fan of Sephora.
