I think I may have created a monster

A monster in me that is. 

The Body Shop.  Oh, how I have refound my love for it.  I used to be all over their stuff when I was in my early teens.  Then for whatever reason (likely because the nearest one to me was over 2hrs away) I fell away from it.  Just last week my love was been rekindled. 

I popped in to pick something up to help with a crazy sunburn I had.  Turns out they have a crazy promotion on right now:  buy 1 get one 50%, buy 2 get 1 free, buy 3 get 2 free.  So you see what has happened here right?

Oh, I totally bought 3 got 2 free!  I walked out of there with $80 worth of stuff and only paid $30 for it. Score!  Bonus, if you have one of their loyalty cards you get an additional 10% off. 

Anyway, my real reason for this bringing this up: I have been struggling lately to find skin care products that don't make my face freak out.  So far it seems their Aloe line is just the ticket.  So far so good.

Oh, and their Vitamin E Body Lotion is also fantastic.

Added bonus:  I love that they're against testing on animals.  They are pushing against sex trafficking.  I like that their products have less chemical stuff in them than others.  No, they're not totally chemical free, but they have less of it than other stuff does.  The shampoo I bought has no silicones, no sulphates, no colorants and no parabens. Every little bit helps right? Oh, and they've been handing out samples of their Vitamin E Moisture Cream too!

So yeah, I went in that initial time last week, then again a few days later, and again just yesterday.  Overall I've saved over $100 on all the stuff I bought.  Thankfully I'm off all next week and am therefore out of the city so I can slow down on keeping The Body Shop in business!

Anyway, enough rambling about their stuff that I really am in love with....

I got a promotion at work!  Yay!  I have officially left supervisor land and have joined the ranks of the managers! Yipee!!  And its funny, I had some of the other managers on Facebook (they added me when I first started working there) however somewhere along the way some of them deleted me.  No big.  I don't put too much stock into who I'm friends with and who I'm not on Facebook.  Yesterday after the announcement came out suddenly the friend requests from the deleters came flying in.  So now that I'm officially a manager I'm good enough to appear on your friends list again?  Oh, I see how it works.

What else...??

I'm off all next week.  I'm sure you'll all be rivetted with that news.  Heading home to the parentals for a few days then I'm off to NB on Friday at some point for a weekend with Nancy and to take in the U2 concert! Pretty excited!  Here's hoping the weather cooperates and is nice but not too hot and doesn't pour rain. Fingers crossed!
