Get More Out of Your Hand Cream! lol! #BeEconomical #BeCool haha!

Because THAT's cool! haha! 

Getting every last drop out of your Lubriderm, or any hand cream, bottle.. cut the bottom off and pour into the almost empty next guy... but I have a better idea! lol!

(Don't worry, it's not sordid!! Just another hand cream story! lol!!)


Ok, so I just fought with the older Lubriderm plastic 'bottle' (for lack of another word... it's not really a 'bottle', and it's not really a 'container', since that sounds like a box of some sort.... but you know what I mean... that plastic thing your hand cream comes in....).  Anyway, I cannot bring myself to throw out the last 1/6th of the 'jar' of Lubriderm, because it's just too much to throw away, and if you fight hard enough with the container, eventually your heavy duty scissors will break through the plastic, and you can cut around the container, pour the rest of the hand cream into the next Lubriderm container, over.... you know, when THAT one is almost empty (or you can't get it to pump out the rest of the moisturizer... so annoying!!)

So I have a great idea for solving this very annoying, wasteful problem.  None of us want to be wasteful (anymore!), and when you have a pump for your hand cream, a good 1/6th of it is stuck at the bottom of the container, at least.  It's very frustrating.  Especially if you're FAR too lazy to go out and buy another 6 containers of Lubriderm, 'cuz you've already been to the store so many times, this week! hahaha!  But, no, it's not just laziness, it's to be more frugal, careful with your money, and you don't want to waste anything... especially something you're very fond of, something that makes you feel like you'll retain your youth, forever -- okay, maybe that's just me -- I'm addicted to Lubriderm, the completely unscented one, because it's one of the very few hand creams on the market that is truly scent-free, and I need that. Plus, I use it on everything, but I love it on my face, neck, hands and legs... they all need to be smooth forever!! lol! 

So here's my Great Idea:  the manufacturer could put a zipline thing with a little catch to pull it around, about 1/6th of the way down the container, so people (a zillion or so customers!), could easily pull a tab, and go along a corregated line, open the container close to the bottom to access the rest of the product.  There's hardly anything we buy where you don't care about 1/6th of the product, right?  Like your donuts that you bought 'by accident' (Ha!)... the ones that come in that plastic 6 pack?  You wouldn't just throw out the plastic container with one donut left, right?  And you wouldn't throw away one beer from a six pack, for sure, right?? lol!  (Uh, I see my excellent examples are beer and donuts... now what does that say about my lifestyle??? hahahahahaha!! That I put happiness, first?? lol!)

And that's not going to change how much Lubriderm, or any other kind of hand cream, they sell... that would make me like the company even more, since they care about not being wasteful, they care about me not injuring myself in my determining effort to get the rest of the Lubriderm out of the bottle.... They Care About the Consumer (me!) (and You!!).

Otay, that my Idea for the Day!!  I hope someone out there in Computerland hears it! Would be fantstic, and conumers would be soo thankful!! : )  Ailsa

Here's my new way of getting all the rest of the hand cream - it's crazy to waste almost a 1/4 of the container, right? Ugh. I hate wasting anything, especially if it's hard-to-come-by fragrance free and 100% Lanolin and Dye free, too - why is it so hard to find my favourite fragrance free products, these days? I don't get that - they used to be so easy to find, and now only a couple of stores carry these brands - Lubriderm and Purex both make really good, actually scent-free products.

I just put my make up powder out on the balcony to air out - the scent is soo strong, it takes a solid month to get rid of the smell, so I have to open it, shake out the powder, it's my favourite CoverGirl Loose Face Powder, very nice and light, but it smells like Noxema when you first open the container, soo, out it goes to the balcony until it's aired out long enough to get rid of the scent. Would be soo great if CoverGirl could make a completely scent-free face powder, to start with, then I wouldn't have to go through all this balcony business of airing this stuff out - lol! 

Oh, and that's my favourite lip balm - I looove it!  It's Webber, Vitamin E, but with a little 'e' - for some reason, the one in the jar is better than the one in the tube - if you have sensitivities to scent, you'll love this - even if you are all 'normal', and whatnot, you'll love these products. Your lips are a'gonna be soo smooth! hahaha!  See you soon!  Ailsa : )

Well, interestingly enough, here's how I first found the truly fragrance free Lubriderm, after they changed their normal Fragrance free lotion... I tried the Men's Lubriderm, and it's amazing. So here it is, in case you have a hard time finding it, too - lol!

  Oh, and this is a pack of three, I think... : )

Things you say to kids that you could NEVER say to an adult! lol! #Kids #Parenting #LittleBigShots #SteveHarvey #SoFunny!

So my son just finished all of his dinner, so immediately, I take his plate, and say, 'Oh, Baby, you ate all your dinner!!  Good for you!  What a good boy!' .... Now, you could never say that to an adult! lol!  I've not once been given serious accolades for finishing all my dinner, say, out at a restaurant! hahahaha!  'Oh, Ailsa, hey, you finished all your dinner!  Good Girl!!  You ate every last bit, and did you even lick the plate??' hahahahaha!  (Nooo, I haven't licked the plate in years!  3 years, at least... lol!)

So then I'm laughing with my little man, Aidan, who is 12, and I said to him, Baby, that's hilarious!  I think that would be considered an 'Age Specific' line -- that's fantastic that you ate ALL your dinner!  Sooo silly!  Like you would sooo happily go to a little baby, and coo, 'Ooooh, who's so fat??   Who's so cute and fat?? Who has cute little fat thighs??  Look at that fat tummy!!' Then you'd poke their tummy and everyone would laugh and laugh, but if you tried that with a random woman, or even one you know, now there's trouble.... hahahahaha!  Although, now all I want to do is say that to one of my friends, one I know will laugh uproariously at the silliness of it all! hahahaha!  Makes me laugh!   I'm gonna go see if I can get someone's nose.... lol!

(Oh, but for the record, I am not a believer in 'cleaning off your plate'... nope!  Eat until you feel satiated, comfortably full... unless you're at a Buffet, and all rules go right out the window! lol!)

Hilarious - we love it soo much! Look how much fun Steve Harvey and Ellen Degeneres can have when they get together with a whole bunch of amazing and hilarious kids - so funny! So sweet! Sooo talented!

Oh, man, we looove Steve Harvey's new show, Little Big Shots - is hilarious! A great mix of Art Linkletter's hilarious albums with kids - anyone else remember those? lol! You a'gotta go waaay back, for Art Linkletter - and we loove Jimy Kimmel's sketches with kids (I had to change the words, there... lol!) - omg, insanely funny, when Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo make lists and check them twice, when the kids are giving them answers - so funny! But Steve Harvey's new show, Little Big Shots combines Steve Harvey's hilarious conversations with the children, and then the kids are amazingly talented - soo sweet! We love it! So funny and sweet!

Here's something really fun to say with kids - The Three Bears Speech Fugue - will make you laugh even more than the kids - lol! Is a whole lotta fun!

Oh, and here's a wee something that made us laugh so hard, when we were in the Drive-Thru, trying to order some deee-licious KFC - lol!  I love me that Thai Chicken! #hahaha!
