O•P•I Please

I remember back in college, my love affair with hot pink started. Way before it became a hit.

It all started with a huge drawstring bag from Benetton.  Ever since, I refused to wear small bags.  I hated carrying paper bags and a bag for PE day.  I thought it was such a hassle since I have to drop by ze boyfriend's (now husband) house and also on days when we'd meet in the mall.

Ok... going back...

I wanted to use hot pink on my nails.  I started the quest for the perfect hot pink nail polish.  I checked all brands from Caronia to Chanel. 

Only two brands stood out with my desired shade of hot pink, NARS and O•P•I.
Back then, the price was Php 1295 for  a 15ml bottle.  And that was just too much.
I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I bought that.  That was in 2002.

Now, 8 years later, I am still yearning/ lusting over a hot pink nail polish.  Yes, I am still resisting the urge.

So I saw this online and I am a sucker for lotions too.  And just like lip balms, I don't use them as much as I'm supposed to.

The Softener: Avocado

This familiar fruit is full of oleic acid, an essential fatty acid that has a softening and hydrating effect on hair and skin. A recent study showed that avocado extracts may help heal cuts several days faster and could possibly help guard against oral cancer.
