Lessons from Saturday - the retail version

[susandennis]

On Saturday I walked up to the new drugstore. In my new shoes. These are winter shoes I bought on sale last Spring. It was the first time I had worn them and, honestly, they did not feel that great. But, it wasn't that long a walk and I didn't think too much about it.

Today, I looked down and there's a giant bruise that wraps around my foot right where they felt the least great. And a blister that burst on my toe. So... while I didn't pay much for them, I clearly paid too much. Sigh.

BUT, at the drugstore, they gave me a goodie bag of cool drugstore stuff. Bandaids, and q-tips and Advil and Clariten and Handywipes and a little travel bottle of shampoo and conditioner.

My gym outfits the showers with soap ad shampoo and conditioner and, honestly, I don't care so I just use theirs. But the city does not so I tossed these new little travel bottles into my swim bag today and used them after my swim.

I felt it first and then I went to look. This stuff is MAGIC!!! My hair looks adorable! It's so soft and curly and just amazing. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration.

So I bought more. I want this hair every day. Thank you.

And I went to Zappos and bought Uggs. I did. I bought two different Uggs styles - low cut. For winter. I will return one (or both if neither work). They are way too pricey for my cheap soul but buying shoes that bruise and blister my feet isn't that smart either.

Seriously my hair feels so soft.

Yay for soft hair! I always loved the way Herbal Essence products smelled.

I struck gold last spring at a store advertising *Everything 50% Off!*. They sold mostly sports and yoga apparel but also had great shoes. They had Uggs. In my size. I asked the clerk twice, holding up the boot "These Uggs are half price???" They were.

I bought two pair. I've got brand new Uggs waiting for the weather to cool off.

OMG 1/2 uggs!! That is the score of he century. I've never owned a pair myself - only knock offs. The fail shoes of Saturday were knock offs so now I'm knocking off the fakes and going for the reals. Kudos to you for getting two pair. That is such an excellent deal.

I'm an Uggs whore. I should have seen if they had any others in my size. They really are, in my opinion, better than the knock-offs that I had first. They don't last very long either but while they're good - they're very, very good. ;-)

Did you buy the too tight shoes from zappos too? 365 day return policy...

[susandennis]

Nope. Amazon. But you made me look - free returns BUT they need to be in "new and unworn condition in the original packaging". Plus their return window is long shut.

yay for freebies!

When I collect them from her wardrobe I have inherited my mother's fancy Uggs that she bought when we were in Australia in November. I am hoping for cosy feet in them
