Don't Judge Me

I have a confession: For pretty much every night of my whole life, I've slept in my makeup. *collective gasp from the audience*

Before you start lecturing me, I already know that it's totally bad for your skin. And I don't really have an excuse for it. It's just that, as I've mentioned before, I'm a little lazy. And it's just such a chore to get the face wash out of the shower, find a clean washcloth, and turn on the water. And when I do attempt to wash my face in the sink, I almost always end up getting soap in my eyes. So I just don't usually do it. (OK, those sounded a little bit like excuses. But they're not. I promise.)

You know I love a good shortcut, so I once tried those makeup removing cloths. I used them a couple of times but they pretty much sucked and left behind mascara and eye makeup. They ended up sitting under my bathroom sink for a million years before I finally threw them away.

Anyway, last month, on a whim, I picked up the new(ish) Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. The package boasted that they removed all traces of makeup even waterproof mascara. With a claim like that, I was in. (Have I mentioned that I'm sometimes a sucker?)


Surprise of all surprises! They actually did remove all of my makeup - including mascara! Afterwards, my face felt nice and moisturized, not tight but not oily either. And the fragrance is actually quite pleasant. I'm almost through my first package and, overall, I'd say they're a win! My only wish is that they came in a hard tub as the "resealable" cover loses its sealing powers pretty quickly.

I was at the grocery store Monday evening, which was odd because I always go to the grocery store on Sunday afternoons. The experience was made even more strange because I went to a different grocery store than I normally go to. Look at me stepping out of my comfort zone!

Anyway, about mid-way through my shopping trip, I reached the dairy display and - horror of horrors! - they were out of my usual coffee creamer. You see, I may or may not be slightly addicted to coffee...to the tune of about 40 ounces daily before lunch. And, for as long as I can remember, I've used sugar-free Coffee-Mate French Vanilla creamer. If the grocer happens to be out of the sugar free variety, I can be tempted by fat-free but that's about as crazy as I get. Usually. 

I digress. Crouched in front of the dairy case, in the way of other shoppers and unable to find any French Vanilla creamer, I made a split-second decision to try the oh-so-yummy-sounding International Delights White Chocolate Mocha creamer:


Folks, excuse the brevity of my "review" but International Delights White Chocolate Mocha creamer is anything but "yummy." I honestly can't believe this product made it past the taste testers and onto the shelves. I'd describe the flavor in detail but I'm afraid there simply aren't words. "Ass" is about all I can come up with.
