Buying Happiness
Whoever said you can't buy happiness must have never heard of retail therapy. I've been a big fan of retail therapy for the past six years. The basic concept is that you buy stuff to make yourself happy, or happier, I should say. The treatment does have its limits, but within them, it's actually quite effective.
Behold, my new little plaything:
Biotherm Homme Facial Exfoliator. I used to be a big fan of the Biotherm Homme line, probably because of Takeshi Kaneshiro's endorsement, silly as that sounds, but not anymore. They're overpriced and over-scented, and the packaging isn't nearly as ergonomic as one would expect from a supposedly luxury brand. Sounds superficial, but hey, if I'm shelling out $60 for a 50 ml bottle of moisturizer, then there's no way in hell I'm putting up with the bottle taking forever and a broken fingernail to open. But I was in the mood for spurging and the lady at the counter was showing me cleavage, so I bought it. Of course, immediately afterwards, the cleavage-showing stopped. Figures. Companies are only nice to you before you become their customers.
