Yummy. Personified.
I wrote a post earlier today that positively reeked of testosterone, sweat and dirt. Mind you, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’ll be the first girl to raise her hand and declare that she prefers the way a man naturally smells rather than doused in cologne. However, that’s an entirely different post.
When I open my medicine cabinet, I feel just as Charlie Bucket did the instant he pushed through the lumbering door of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
It’s a wonder of bright colours, silky lotions, sweetly-smelling perfumes, nail polish, luxury for my locks and tons of little surprises. Sure it doesn’t look organized, but I know exactly where everything is and exactly what it’s for.
In your upper left corner you’ve got fast first aid when you can’t be bothered to open the kit. This includes pain killers, throat lozenges and Tums. Below that is every girl’s necessary stash of nail polish, preferrably OPI because it goes on oh-so-smoothly. Word to the glitterati: check out their new Russian-inspired line for the fall…I snagged “Boris and Natasha” last weekend. On the bottom you’ve got the first of the practical items like nail polish remover, sunblock and mouth wash.
Behind Door Number 2 (*snicker*), from top to bottom (*snicker again*) you can find base cosmetics, various deodorants - it’s good to switch it up sometimes - and hair care on the bottom. Anyone that knows me knows that I whore myself out for Bumble & Bumble products. The stash in my shower is even bigger.
Last, but certainly not least, we have The Essentials. Life Brand natural cocoa butter lotion is my cheapcheapcheap beauty bargain that’s a must. Also to be found are eye make-up remover, hydrocortisone cream (I don’t condone this, but it’s good for under-eye puffiness), toner, floss, tooth brush and paste and depilatory cream (because everyone knows that body hair on women is unnatural - yes, even arm hair).
Yah, I’m bored tonight.
P.S. And for the record, I have never seen the newer, Tim Burton-directed version of the above-mentioned movie because - let’s face it - Freddy Highmore was a brat supreme in “Finding Neverland” and I just couldn’t bear to see him in a role as precious and classic as Charlie Bucket.

That’s one perk of being a guy. My luggage usually consist of a couple of t-shirts, boxers, socks, and a stick of deodorant (pants of course, being recyclable).
i’ve always liked going through peoples medicine cabinets for some reason. i am weird.
You are waayyyyyy more organized than I am. Luckily, I don’t have as much stuff!! No Keira, I am not making fun. I am just a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl, and makeup is a very occasional thing (I usually replace it more often than use it).
About the remake of “Chocalate Factory”….I love Johnny Depp, and will pretty much see anything he is in, but I really HATE when they do a remake of movies that were perfect in the first place. I mean really, who could really top Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka?
Nobody……:)
I tried Boris and Natasha also. I enjoy it very much.
Johnny Depp is a phenomenal actor, no arguing that. But I couldn’t bring myself to watch Freddy Highmore, even if he’s sweet in the remake. But it’s like you said, why try to duplicate something that was perfect in the first place? If anyone ever tried to remake A Clockwork Orange, I’d be devastated…
I guess I do have a lot of stuff. I’ve been called the Queen of Stuff before. I just love things that smell yummy - what can I say? Hehehe…
being a girl that also hates body hair… I would never remove my arm hair.. that seems to be the line for me..
I look forward to my time off where I use all my girly products that sit in town waiting for me..
hmm..
stubbly legs are bad enough hahahah
adam has never worn any smells cept natural, no deodorant no cologne ever. took a bit for me to get used to because of my hound dog nose…
