AVEDA Rocks!

Usually when a store offers free stuff, there is a catch. And if there isn't a catch, there is poor customer service. So a week ago when I went for my free 20 minute facial by Aveda, I have to say I had low expectations. 
But not only did the salesperson not try to push any products on me, she even gave me free samples. Score! However that's not what impressed me. It's her sweetness that did. 

Chante 
Chante was gentle and kind. She had great conversation. And she was funny too all while being professional and very knowledgeable about the line of products the store offered. She explained each product to me, and after my longer than 20 minute facial, she wrote down each one of them down for me instead of pushing me to buy them on the spot. She also gave me free samples. SCORE! 

Of course now I want to go and buy them all. But it is not because of Chante's pressure. It is because I woke up the next day with a glowing skin. Thanks Aveda!
Luckily for my wallet, I am currently living like a gipsy and do not spend over 72 hours in one location in a row, meaning buying 7 products over 150 milliliters and lugging them around security while being off work is not an option. 

And no I am not on vacation ... again! A passenger decided to give me a month and a half off - sweet right? - by slamming the aircraft overhead bin on my hand and breaking a bone in the process - not so sweet afterall. 

But Aveda I will be back. And Chante do not change ... You made my day a happy day. Plus Aveda is organic and respectful of the environment. Always a + when choosing a brand. 

The stuff I will be buying soon -:)

Until next time we meet ... Live, Love, Laugh & Travel

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
