getting used to this....

so does anyone else have a blog here too? you should email me with the link, so i can add it to my dashboard. still feeling neuronal growth as i move along here.

i have to say, this blogging business reminds me of a fun quote from olp, 'i confess talking is just masterbating without the mess', which really feels like the case at this moment. in blogging, i am entertaining the idea that people actually care enough about whatever whimsical thought i am having at the moment to read my blog. here's hoping its not 'star' magazine for the mind.

that said, after reading my favorite morning blog on cosmetics (telle hearts Muse and Christine so very much)...I may just do my own cosmetics blog. I do subscribe to a recommended canadian one, but i find it lacking, oh so very much. actually last night, was the first time in the canadian blog that i actually learned about a new product release, coincidentally because it is a canadian brand (marcelle)....which is great, i will keep a look out for in stores. what would be 'unique' about my canadian cosmetics blog is that it wouldn't just include little reviews about products, lines, launches, albeit very limited because there are more established blogs that do an amazing job (why repeat it?), but include canadian RETAIL experiences....where are good places to shop, who is worth shopping with, the best beauty finds and deals, etc. because that kind of information is handy. and also, maybe it would start a trend for beauty advisors/beauty peeps in the industry to take their employment seriously and start treating customers accordingly instead of acting much of what i frequently encounter: snobbiness; uneducated; uninterested in both the line and the customer; thinking that one knows better than the customer when clearly one does not; lack of enthusiasm for sales; inability to sell well, etc. That's actually a terrible list, yet, i think it is safe to say that most people making a cosmetics purchase, encounter. :( On that note, not all persons in the industry are so sub-par, there are a few great ones- a shout out to E. at the Kingsway Estee Lauder counter and N. at the bay fragrance/shiseido counter and L. at the boutique that i am now employeed at as well. :)
