For some reason it seems that the lotions I’ve made several weeks ago are separating – as I squeeze them out of the container, water comes out! This has happened with two separate bottles of lotion, made at different times, from different ingredients. I don’t understand why it’s happening now. My concern is, of course, that the lotions have gone bad or are going bad. How can you possibly know when a lotion has gone bad? I’m afraid that the perfume would mask any off-smells.

Yesterday I made the mistake of letting Camila stay at her friend’s house under the supervision of her friend’s 16 yo brother. This is what happened:
Yep, her little friend chopped off her hair! I had the back evened out, so it’s OK from the back (just very short), but there is nothing we can do about the front/top š
I just heard a teaser on TV about how shopping at the “wrong” store can lower your credit limit. That definitely peaked my interest, so I googled around and found this segment of Good Morning America on exactly the issue: A guy with a stellar credit history gets his Amex credit limit slashed by $7K because he shopped at a certain store. Apparently, customers that shop at such store tend to not pay their credit card bills, so Amex is assuming he will behave like them. Amex won’t say what the store is – but the only “new” store at which the guy shopped was Walmart, so we can reach our own conclusions as to where Amex doesn’t want you shopping.
Now, I hate Walmart as much as the next person (just watch the Walmart Movie and you’ll know why), but give me a break!
Amex is not the only company that has done this – another one was fined by the FTC for reducing the credit limits of customers who went to marriage counselors and auto shops (I kid you not!). I have to admit that I barely pay attention to our credit cards, but I will start to do so now! This behavior is ridiculous.
Here is the Good Morning America segment from last January:
Last week I stayed in a hotel in Barcelona and pilfered all the toiletries (including 3 complimentary combs) as well as the packets of tea and instant coffee from the complimentary tea tray. Yes, I know it’s expected, but I still felt a little guilty.
Turns out I shouldn’t have. Hotels these days expect you to steal all sorts of stuff – as this CNN article (which you will note, I’m linking to but not stealing) notes – and some actually don’t mind, figuring that every time you look at the pilfered item you will remember what a good time you had when you were there last. The thinking, it goes, is that you’ll then return – personally I’d think I’d be too embarrassed.
