Happy V-Day to Me!

So today is Valentine’s Day. In between the launch of Hello Kitty and my large group project for class, I actually somehow forgot about this holiday. But, really, I hate Valentine’s Day and my thoughts on love and marriage can be summed up with these quotes from my favorite show.

- “Who needs a wife when you have a life?” - Richard Wright

- “Marriage doesn’t guarantee a happy ending. Just an ending.” - Samantha Jones

- “You're engaged!” - Charlotte York

“I threw up. I saw the ring and I threw up. That can't be normal.” - Carrie Bradshaw

“That's my reaction to marriage.” Samantha Jones

- “All married couples stop having sex eventually.” - Samantha Jones

“That's not true, you've had sex with plenty of married people.” - Miranda Hobbes

“That's how I know!” - Samantha Jones

- “Did they actually use the term ‘soul mates’. Then I give them three months” - Mr. Big

In the tradition of the holiday, I woke up in the morning to find a beautifully wrapped gift addressed to myself. I opened it up to discover a little gift from me to me. I received the Dylan’s Candy Bar Strawberry Licorice Soda Pop Shower Gel, Strawberry Licorice Body Smoothie Lotion, and the Philosophy Frosted Pink Layer Cake 3 in 1.

I had raved about the Dylan’s Candy Bar line when it first came out and came to love the Chocolate Cupcake products. I was so in love with that scent and I was really excited to try the Strawberry Licorice products to use in the warmer weather.

The shower gel description is right here, “It's time to indulge in a delicious shower with Dylan's Candy Bar's Strawberry Licorice Soda Pop Shower Gel. This skin-moisturizing, super-lathering Re-Treat Body Wash combines Soapwort Extract with an ultra-moisturizing blend of Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Jojoba Seed Oil to create the ultimate cleansing experience.” The body lotion description is right here, “Re-Treat Body Lotion is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as hydrating herbal extracts of Aloe Vera and Chamomile to moisturize and soften your skin.”
Gifts like this make this icky holiday very bearable…
