mskestrela's Journal, 22 September 2017

Today has been a good day. The client that I hadn't seen in 2 years turned out to be WAY fun. She's a theatrical person, and had done her research. The only other time I saw her was 2 years ago when she asked me to do some work on some wigs for her. Having strong theater connections myself, I've been associated with them since my college days. I was actually the hair designer for the professional theater on Hilton Head Island for 12 years, and worked with a lot of wigs.
ANYway, she was looking for a complete change, from muddy blonde to a more rich auburn color. It took 3 hours to accomplish, but it turned out STUNNING! She looked 10 years younger, and was thrilled with the results. She said I'm her new favorite person. LOL! And her check tripled my pitiful bank account. Lights and internet stay on! W00t w00t!
I didn't go to work until noon, and since I'm a habitual non-breakfast-eater, I went in fasted since 6 PM last night. I really didn't feel hungry all day (hello ketosis!), in spite of the break room table being laden with pizza, sausage rolls, lemon cake, and assorted other sundry sins. I got home around 5, feeling like something the cat dragged in. It sure doesn't take long to get out of working condition! Still not hungry, and the KetoStix showing moderately elevated ketones. If I get peckish later, I have a rotisserie chicken on deck. If not, I'll fast until tomorrow.
To cap off the day, I got a really nice cologne in the mail. Walmart has a program called "Spark Reviewer" that I was invited to join last year. Apparently, because of all the reviews I've written for them over the years, I'm a "top 1000 contributor", which qualified me for the program. Every month, they send me an email with a secret link where I can choose from a couple dozen to several hundred different products. Sometimes, it's a choose one, sometimes it's choose 2. They ship the product for free, and in return I only have to submit a review with a picture of the product. Then I get to keep it! I just LOVE free stuff! This time, my choice was a cologne from Tommy Hilfiger called "The Girl".
My body chemistry is weird. A lot of colognes smell like cat pee on me. This one doesn't! It has all the tones I love: musk, sandalwood, and spice, with just a hint of honeydew. I'm in love with it!
So, yeah. A good day.
I'm hoping all my buddies had at least as good a day!

Love your posts. Another thing we have in common: Most cologne smells like garbage on me, and sometimes it takes multiple showers to get rid of it. I once had trouble eating for several days because when I put my had up to my mouth, I could smell an unfortunate experiment in wearing cologne. I've often thought it might be a good way for me to get into fasting -- put cologne on my hands that prevents me from eating. Have a good weekend.
