I just bought over $100 (and that is with the $20 off) in skin care products and I am so excited. I love the products so much I think I'm going to get some more - I didn't get any body lotion, so I think I need that as well.

Is this a symptom of middle age crisis? Do I need to watch out for any other insane crap I will be doing?

@Linkat,
Over $100 and they probably fit into a lunch bag.

I did much the same thing for my wife last Christmas.

She loves them.
She feels great.
She smells great.

Don't sound insane to me.

@George,
Easily - origins in my case. Supposedly the serum is supposed to get rid of my fine lines in about 7 weeks - maybe it is just hopeful but I have noticed less near the corners of my eyes. And at $50 for an ounce a bargain. The lotion for my face also has made the skin very soft, I can't stop touching myself - it feels so much better.

Just imagine what will happen if I lather my body with their lotion?

@Linkat,
I think it's just a sign or winter and the environmental dryness ...providing, of course, that you live in a wintery or a drying climate.

Do watch out for loading up on expensive wines and gourmet chocolates, though.

I got that last year from my daughter and absolutely liked it. It smells divine.

@Linkat,
Linkat, the sad truth is that it cost about $ 2.00 to make these creams. The rest is mark-up, advertising and packaging.

No. Be proactive. Feel good about yourself.

@CalamityJane,
But my face feels awesome!

And there is some crap in it that I can't pronounce and in 7 weeks just think I will look 21 again!

oh honey.

I went through a stage where I just HAD to have every OPI nail color, and spent Sunday afternoon making sure my hand were "ready for my close up Mr. D'Mill."

3 years ago, I had headbands to match my every mood.

2 years ago, silky scarves were a necessary element of my life.

Right now it's bubble baths and oil.

Oh, and eyeliner. Got to do my eyeliner.

Rather than "middle age crisis" I preferred to think of it as self actualization.

To hide those fine lines and signs of aging, I use Spackle.

@chai2,
Nice! Yes, OPI has some fabulous colors! I used to have a standing appointment every 2 weeks with my manicurist. Unfortunately after having children my nails went to h*ll. I think they are now getting older (not bathing them so much and stuff, less hands in water) - I may have to start my every other week nail appointments again.

@George,
Seems to be just another name of the good stuff I bought: MoltoFill.

@Linkat,
Always dark chocolate, but not the cheap stuff...too waxy and has an off-taste! Cheap (red wine) can be pretty damned good.

@Ragman,
Never cheap on the chocolate, but yeah you can find good tasting, but cheap red wine.

Ritter is the best "cheap" chocolate you can find.

3-5 dollars a small block.
MMMMMmmm

@shewolfnm,
OK so after spending 100+ and planning to return tomorrow to buy body lotion so I can enjoy touching my body too; I will go get some cheap red wine and expensive dark chocolate - any suggestions?
