Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Sugar Is Sweet And My Skin Is Smooth

After taking the day yesterday to recover from my sugar coma - Yes, I did actually eat cookie dough while watching The Biggest Loser finale - I got right to work getting my glow on. The specific instruction for yesterday's Pretty, Quick Challenge was to use a cleanser with microbeads or perhaps a handful of sugar to slough off dearly departed skin cells. Of course I went with the sugar. (It seemed only fair to give it a chance to redeem itself.)

Today's challenge involved buffing lips. I'm not making that up. We were to take our toothbrushes and gently shoo away anything that didn't belong on them. The objective was to end up with lips that were a little more kissable.





My favorite part about today's instruction was that the author quoted a Chicago dentist named Margaret Mitchell. I actually have a cutie pie dentist I like quite a bit. I'd consider switching, though, if Dr. Margaret Mitchell lived in Orlando. "Miss Scarlett, Miss Scarlett, I don't know nothing bout buffing no lips."

It was kind of hard to take today's challenge seriously, but I gave it the old college try. I'm sure the next person who ends up kissing these lips will be most appreciative.

The day 11 challenge is to put on a happy scent. I don't often wear perfume unless I'm going somewhere special, but tomorrow I will. After looking over my options, I decided to go with Ysatis by Givenchy.

I will be stopping by Hot Heads this weekend. Hope to see you there. I'll be the one with the sparkly pink fingernails, the smooth skin, kissable lips and the slight scent of "mandarin with spicy, woodsy undertones".
