I try to time my Estee Lauder purchases so that I always get the free gift they give away twice a year. Recently, I did just that and in the gift package was one of those unbelievably expensive line-plumping eye treatments so I thought, what the heck I might as well try it. Boy, was that a mistake. I don't guess I thought the whole line-plumping thing through. I was just thinking Wow, if there is anything that could make my under eye area look better I should try it. Never again. I put it on with my nightly moisturizer and the next morning... HOLY COW... the normal bags I have under my eyes looked like inflated air bags!! Bags are bad enough but INFLATED BAGS are bad, bad. So much for the anti-aging line plumping.. HA!

But, I am trying a new skin regime for this summer. I went on line to www. olayforyou.com, went through the questions and have been buying one item at a time the products they suggested. I love the Definity scrub and just started using the night cream last night. It is supposed to help with age spots and discoloration.. we will see. It's quiet a splurge for me but since I am outside so much in the summer I thought I should do it. I'm worth it, right?

Anyone buying any new summer clothes or shoes or make-up so far this season or is everyone pinching pennies like we are?

I've been pinching everything, but I want to get some new clothes and a new bra!

LOL at the eyeplumper. I'm so naturally plump that I don't want to plump anything.

Pinching pennies here too. I've only invested in some sports wear for all the walking, bike riding, and rollerblading I've been doing. Luckily I get 20% off at Ross as well as 40% off 3 times a year so I can buy pretty cheap.

I've been using an eye cream from garnier nutrise that seems to be helping with the lines around my eye.

Cara, I found my size (huge) bras on sale recently at Just My Size and I mean a real sale, bras that normally cost 32.00 for 13.99. I was so tickled I bought two. They feel so good.

I bought a couple of $3 mega-clearance shirts at Walmart that I've been wearing incessantly. Feels nice to be out of sweaters and to have something new. Really need to buy new running shoes...but I don't wanna drop the $40 on it. Oh well. Gotta do it.
