bliss
I hate bliss. Not the state of being, but the face and body product line, as in www.blissworld.com. But DON'T go there, you will be tempted, but their stuff doesn't work! I used to always get their catalog and a few years ago I ordered a butt load of stuff that promised things like "smaller pores" and "unclogged pores", and....well ok, so I got a ton of stuff to help my pores and that's pretty much it. But I can't help it, the pores on my nose are extremely stubborn. Anyway, they did not deliver.
But I did also get this foot cream and these crazy socks with this weird rubbery type stuff on the inside that helps your feet soak up the moisture (you wear them to bed after putting on the lotion). I'm not really sure why I even bought these items since they were expensive and I have never had any problems with dry feet. Not even when I was in gymnastics and I would literally dip both of my feet into the chalk bin so as to not slip off the beam. As a side note, this didn't actually work - after landing a back hand spring both my feet slipped to each side and I crotched the beam hard-core. It hurt so bad I ran (limped) to the bathroom and cried. However I was stubborn and tough, so I went right back out to the beam. But then when trying the same move I landed on my shoulder and did most of the flip to the side of the beam and landed on my butt on the floor. It was more embarassing then painful. I told my coach that I wouldn't be doing beam anymore, and luckily he agreed with me.
Anywho, I used the lotion and weid socks once, then they went into the depths of one of my bathroom drawers along with several other once-used products that I'm not really sure why I bought. Last year for my mom's birthday I was even tempted to give the lotion and socks to her since she likes foot care products - I was 8 months pregnant and it was about 180 degrees outside, and I didn't feel like going shopping. However I decided against it...not because it would be tactless, gross, and rude, but because I convinced myself that someday I would need them. Which, incidentally, is why I also have all the other things in my bathroom drawers...and under my bed...and in my closet.
But I was actually right! Someday has come and I do need them! I'm not sure if it was the dry Utah air (I believe they actually measure the humidity in negative numbers there) or what, but my heels are all dry and cracked. So I got all excited and pulled out the rubbery socks and lotion, but they didn't work! I used them two nights in a row and the next morning my feet looked and felt exactly the same. Last night I used the first step of the Mary Kay Satin Hands (that really thick pink stuff) and regular socks and they look much better now. Stupid bliss! I also hate them because they don't capitalize the first letter of their name. Why not??? It's a proper noun!!!
