I'm a women of the times, I understand this thing called 'marketing', so when I get free samples in the mail with coupons attached to it, I know what's up. Usually these things just go in the garbage because I'm much too clever to fall for their scheme...until yesterday.
I won't mention brand names because we will not fall a second time to their trickery, but here's what happened. My thoughtful husband kept this 'free' sample aside for me thinking I might like to try it. It was for body wash and skin lotion. I like smelly things, as long as they smell good, so on the way to the trash I thought one sniff wouldn't hurt. One sniff turned into a shower and WOW did I smell good! So, took the stupid coupon and bought the stupid stuff and now I can't stop smelling myself. Marketers 1, me 0. *sigh*
Finished the socks (Charade) and love the yarn. It was nice and sleek on the needles and my dry hands didn't snag nearly as much :) First time knitting with babmoo (Mary Maxim BAMBOO Soft Stripes), but definitely not the last.
In the pic is Zoe, our Bengal cat. She sleeps all day and party's all night. *sigh*
Excuse me while I go sniff myself some more ;)
