Relaxation In A Makeover?

I love to shop.  Maybe that's why Christmas is my favorite holiday?  I don't believe it's just that, I love decorating, I love Christmas movies and Christmas music.  And I love to shop and buy presents for my kids and for Scott.  I love picking out a Christmas tree and decorating it. 

Scott and I were talking about Christmas trees the other day.  We realized that last year, knock on wood, was the very first year that our tree didn't tip over....always after it had been decorated of course.  Talk about traumatic.  Alot of my favorite glass ornaments have been broken over the years from our tree tipping over.  But last year, we were lucky and must have gotten it just right.  Keep your fingers crossed for me this year.

You might think it's crazy, but in a week or two I'll start getting out my Christmas Villages out.  It takes so much time to put them out and to get them set up just right, that I don't want them set up for just a month.  I LOVE them!  I think I've mentioned before, my favorite is my ice skaters.  Once I get it up and running, I'll post a video.  I know you're just going crazy waiting to see it, lol.

Hold on....I'm being paged by my daughter for a mom and daughter talk.

Now, on to my topic....I've been watching HSN.  I ordered some Christmas presents off QVC last week, and some from the CBS Sports store (Buckeye stuff).  I started watching HSN forever ago because I like to shop, I don't buy much from the TV, but I like to window shop....so to speak.  All of the sudden, I happened across a show on Signature Club with Adrienne.  She sells make up and skin care products and I realized that watching them put makeup on their models, in an effort to sell the makeup, of course, it was so relaxing to me.  

It's like getting a message or aromatherapy.  Or like my CD that plays a thunderstorm.  Is that weird?  I could spend house looking at people getting makeovers, then seeing the before and after.  Maybe it's Adrienne's voice?  It's a little nasally....like Fran on The Nanny, lol.  

I LOVE aromatherapy.  I remember going to the chiropractor one time, Dr. Tuthill when he was still in business.  I remember going upstairs to one of the rooms and laying on the table thing and he asked me about the scent in the room.  He said he was trying out something new, aromatherapy.  Seriously, it made me feel like jello.  It was my first experience with aromatherapy and I LOVED IT!  It totally affected my mood and it relaxed me to the point of goo!

I have a ceramic light bult ring that I put oil in sometimes.  I like lavendar and gardenia.  Rose is nice too, very mellow.  Sometimes I like a scent with a little bit of a masculine scent.  Speaking of that, Scott's cologne that he wears makes me the same way.  He doesn't wear it often, special occassions usually, but he smells so damn good.  I know he does it on purpose.  All I do is hug him and hug him with my nose stuck to his neck or his chest....just breathing in.  I could stand there for an hour just smelling his neck or chest...breathe in...breathe out....breathe in....breathe out.....

My poor sister is seriously allergic to alot of this kind of stuff.  I feel bad because I always have yummy smelling candles burning, and tart warmers, and I have the little thing that looks like a mini-crock pot, but you put liquid potpourri in it.  I try to be careful when she's coming over not to use anything too floral scented.

But for me, I guess I'm an odd ball.  I could watch women on TV all day getting make overs.  It just relaxes me...I go into a trace.  Jourdan saw it tonight....you can ask her.  Then you get some aromatherapy going on....I'm putty!

An odd thing to share tonight, but I've been watching HSN tonight.  I seek out the makeup shows.  Well, the Christmas decoration ones too.  I watched QVC for a couple hours last week because they were selling battery operated lit up Christmas swags, lol.  Maybe I need therapy.  

Wait, I'm already in therapy, lol.  Guess I have a whole new box to open up.
