Shoppers Employee Needs to Go!

What is a Torontonian girls favourite place to go and browse? I was as always at Shoppers Drug Mart browsing ... and picking up some things that I needed.  Every Shoppers I go to has really nice people and they are extremely helpful when asked for assistance.  I love Shoppers.  I have one right by my house.  And as always ... it has become my go to place, my 'convenience store'.  There is also a Shoppers at Scarborough Town Center which is my second home in a way lol.  I do not like that particular store and that is for one reason only.  There is this older female employee who works in the beauty department.  I have seen her work there for quite a few years now.  And every time I end up at the counter to pay for my purchases and I get her ... she in one way or another makes an extremely insulting comment.  And it usually always goes like this:

Me:  
Hi can I pay for this here?
Her:  
Sure!  Oh is that the moisturizer you are buying?
Me:  
Yes.
Her:  
Have you used it before?
Me:  
Yes.
Her:  
Oh are you sure you want to buy it?
Me:  
Yes (slightly annoyed)
Her:  
Well because its not very moisturizing
Me:  
Thats fine
Her:  
Well I see a lot of dryness on your face... maybe you should try buying [insert another significantly more expensive product which does exactly the same thing or worse which I have also used and hated here]
Me:  
No thanks (pissed off)
Her:  
No because you have dryness.
Me:  
Just complete my transaction.  Thanks


EVERY FREAKIN TIME!  This woman is such an idiot!!  First of all ... let me say one thing.  I am not one to insult people or speak badly about people (unless they deserve it ofcourse lol) or judge them.  But seriously ... when you look at this woman.... shes not pretty.  She has the worst skin possible.  You can see chunks of her foundation pealing off her face.  Does not know how to wear makeup.  She lines her lips with a pencil that is 20 times darker than her actual lipstick which  also does not suit her skin tone.  Good god woman.  Who the hell told you that you are in any position to make beauty consultations.  I understand she is trying to up sell but someone should seriously tell her that insulting customers is not getting her any sales.  And honestly... that will most probably be me telling her off next time I go there.  Honestly I am almost pissed off enough to find her name and actually tell management.  Uh!!!  
Woosaaahhhh .....

Vogue India February 2011

** Song of the Day:  Tokyo Police Club - Wait Up **

I am not much of an Aishwariya Rai fan but I will admit she looks amazing on the cover of Vogue India for the month of February.  I love the gothic yet angelic shoulder pads that look like wings.  The strange thing is ... this is the work wear issue of Vogue.  If only everyone could dress like that going to work ... lol.  Love it though.  The cover was shot by a Polish photographer Marcin Tyszka.  His photography style is stunning.  I love his creativity.

Bored

** Song of the Day:  Florence And The Machine - Dog Days Are Over **
** Best thing in the world:  Taking your time getting ready and feeling awesome **

I was feeling yucky today when I woke up.  I have those days sometimes.  Just random days where you just feel gross for no reason at all.  So I wake up and go downstairs to get something to eat… only to find my raisin cinnamon bread almost finished.  Boo!  So I take 2 of the last 4 slices and toast them.  Usually that makes me feel better but after eating I didn’t feel any less gross.  So I figured I’d watch some ‘Dog Whisperer’.  Which also didn’t help.  So I went upstairs and got ready.  And since I was really bored I decided to play around with my makeup.  Took me a good half hour or maybe more but now I look awesome and my eye shadow looks awesome and I feel much much much better.  Taking your time getting ready without interruptions is one of the most relaxing things for me.  Try it out.  It seriously makes you feel 100 times better.  Love it  =)
