FOMO and BOGO with Some no 5

 

Most of us have dealt with buy one get one free or the whole fear of missing out. And I am sure we have all fallen victim of those things depending on what foods you like to eat, drinks you like and get some, even though you have plenty of those things. But hobbies can be worse in terms of that.

My latest with the fear of missing g out and buy one get one free is the travel sprays of Clinique Happy. I impulsively partook in that sale and added some hair, skin and nails vitamins to ease my mind a little bit. I could have gotten one travel spray and a mini MAC lipstick but wasn't so wowed with the mini lipstick. Ulta does have the buy one get one sales on a regular basis but usually for things that I don't and probably wouldn't use on a regular basis. So it is back on the wagon, even though Bath and Body Works is having a candle sale.

A few days ago, I decided to wear no 5 body products and put a heavy dose of the edp on top of it. I have done this in the past but this time, I really paid attention to it. When I did, I was dumbfounded because all of the body products (bar soap and body lotion) and three healthy sprays was maybe pushing it but I didn't have to work that day so it didn't much matter. The body products amplified the musk and the musk part reminded me of the Bal a Versailles musk. That kind of musk that is only really found in vintage perfumes. The musk also reminded me of vintage no 5. So I wasn't expecting all of that.

I did get a little good news today. My federal tax refund is heading my way. I had gotten my tax refund from the state last week. The bad thing is that I have to use all of that on getting that crown that my health insurance refuses to pay for since it is considered "cosmetic". The too the is behind an eye tooth and is visible, especially when I smile. If this was a front tooth, I probably would have been able to get insurance to pay for a crown. Insurance (even Medicaid, which I have) is pretty funny on what it will cover and what it won't cover. Most of the time, the dental insurance is a joke.But with the tax refund and unclaimed funds check, I can get the crown and plane ticket to California and be okay but still work on saving more money for my California trip.
