So tonight at work was not my night. Thankfully I had some decent time on the registers I didn't break them like normal but tonight I was just a butter fingers or something. I started off on express and I swear I threw things at the little bagger guy numerous times. I told I him I promise I wasn't throwing things at him but then would turn around and things would fly out of my hands. I couldn't seem to get a grip on money today either pennies were the freaking devil today.
So once I got off of express I figured well I am in the clear I should be good. No sorry it didn't work. So my night was kind of uneventful until the last hour. I had a lady who changed her mind so I had to take quite a few things back to be restocked. With weight watchers help I have lost enough weight I don't need the customers to move their carts to get by them in check out I can squeeze past them. Well tonight I managed to squeeze out but destroyed a can of corn. Then I kept dropping my towels. I also racked my elbow on a shopping cart behind me. After that I was like well it can't get worse. OH YES IT CAN. I reached down to grab a paper towel and I grabbed a hand full of random stranger butt. >.< I was expecting paper towels instead I grabbed athletic shorts. His cashier said he got this huge grin on his face and I turned purple I was so embarassed. Then the giggling started. I thought I was gonna cry right there. His wife was not impressed. I apologized so much. Here is hoping tomorrow is better.

Oh Pinterest......
I admit I am a Pinterest obsessed housewife. There is nothing wrong with that. Pinterest has given me so many ideas. Recipes, home improvements, everything. Well here recently I have been looking for do it at home beauty treatments. Cause of my new job I have to think of ways to get things done since I work until late a lot of spas and places like that are closed. Not only that I am a cheap skate. If I can do it at home I am doing it. So tonight the kids were in bed, J was in the garage working on an order so I decided you know my nose is looking mighty nasty, why not do the at home biore strip.
I went upstairs to take a shower so I was like you know I will wash my face with out putting on my lotion go down stairs and make up some of this diy biore strips. I found a box on unflavored gelatin which is one of the two ingredients I needed. I checked the box and saw it was expired by about 6 months. Oooops. But I am thinking I don't need it to make jello I need it to get sticky surly it will still get sticky. So the recipe called for a packet of unflavored gelatin and a tablespoon to two of milk. One tablespoon but if it looked to chunky to add another. I had to add two. Well then I was left with it being too runny. I was like ok let me microwave it the amount called for 15 seconds and see if it gets thicker. It didn't. So I opened another package and poured a bit in it to make it a bit thicker. Now I don't know if this is where it went wrong or the expired gelatin was where it went wrong. But it went SOOOOOOO wrong. However at this point in time I had no idea it was going to go wrong.
According to the pin I used I was supposed to use a stick to spread it on my face. Mine was still to thin to do that. So I just dug my hand in and started slathering it on my face. It was hot, really hot. But I pressed on. Cause it was on my hands it got in places I would have rather it not but I was thinking well its just gonna pull out the gunk from my face (yes this pin suggested using it on your whole face) so what if it got a little on my hair line or eyebrow no big deal.
So it was finally on and I was advised by the blog that to let it sit there for about 15 minutes, and you would know it was ready because it would feel like your face was gonna crack. So I sat there. It was bad cause it smelled funny and well I can't see with out my glasses and I couldn't wear them while i had a gunky face. 15 minutes went by and parts of my face were still wet feeling and others felt a little tight I was thinking to myself success!!!! Another ten minutes goes by and I am like wow feeling tight probably time to start peeling. I went to take a drink of water and panic sets in. OMG I CAN"T OPEN MY MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forced it to open and felt a crack on my chin. So I decided to start peeling from there.
I supposed I Could have gone to the bathroom to do this but the hubby was still outside and I can't trust the dogs in the living room alone and if I took them to the bathroom they were gonna wake the kiddos up. So I was like ehhhh i pull biores off where ever no biggie. I pulled the first strip. It felt like I was peeling off my first two layers of skin. My face felt on fire. So I stopped to get a breath and see if other parts were easier. They weren't. But I pushed through. After about 5 minutes I had most of my chin and a few parts of my cheeks. My nose was not budging. By this time Hubby had walked in gave me an odd look and shook his head. I said I will be right back I bet this will be easier in front of the mirror. Sigh, I hate when I lie to myself.
So I made it to the bathroom. I can now see the parts that look loose a little easier and I start pullin. My face no looks like a BAD sunburn. red where the mask has been peeled off and then looking like it needed to be peeled everywhere else. I start pulling and hit the part near my hair line. OH SWEET MOTHER did that hurt. But only a few pieces of hair came out. So I am like ehhhhh ok what ever. Then I start to pull the mask attached to my eyebrow and realized HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I am pulling out ALL MY EYEBROWS!!!!! So I stopped. I am rocking a tiny bit thinner brow on oneside but I caught it before I totally yanked it out. By this time my face hurts, my eye brow hurts, my pride is hurt. And my nose is STILL COVERED. So I did what any self respecting housewife would do. I pulled up my big girl panties took a swig of diet coke (After all I do have to work tomorrow) and washed that crap off my face.
After scrubbing my face like 100 times I finally deemed it gelatin free and then moisturized my face. So now I sit an hour after the whole ordeal with my face still red, my skin still raw, and my pride not so hurt but still walking with a limp. I will give it one more time with fresh gelatin, but if it feels ANYTHING like this I will gladly pay as much as biore wants for pore cleaners. No amount of money is to much to keep my flesh on my face. So the score stands now Pinterest DIY 1 Me 0
