Did Roomie tell you that he thought the Slurpees at the Corydon 7-11 tasted "wrong" compared to the Stafford one? I told him that it was because of some sort of "additive" that wasn't detergent. Meh, maybe it was detergent... :)

Funny, eh?! :) You should watch the rest of her videos... it's like having a hidden camera at my aunts' houses. LOL

Yeah, I'm usually the same way. I apply then forget... until I go to the bathroom, see my reflexion and go 'ugh!'. :)

I think it needs its own food group. The Slurpee group... according to Roomie, an essential. :)

The question I want to ask is, "How many calories are in 6 pounds of lipstick?"

G.E. makes some very good points. Remember TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrome? Many women became deathly ill from their reaction to a chemical substance in their tampons. Slightly different delivery system, but my point is that there are chemicals used in our cosmetics that could make us ill.

I think it is wise to be aware and question what you put on your skin, as well what you ingest. What food group does a Slurpee fall under?

Eat your lipstick? The first thing that brought to mind was this old John Waters movie, Eat Your Makeup:

I haven't seen it so I don't know how it ends, but I'll bet that eating it is not good for you.

Six pounds sounds like a lot, but if you
think about how much other unintended things we eat maybe it's just noise... I'm thinking of soap, shampoo, fertilizer, pesticides, wax on fruit and vegetables, other debris in our food, the detergent that wasn't properly rinsed out of the Slurpee machine, etc...

Thank goodness I'm not your typical woman (don't wear lipstick) because the thought of eating 6 pounds of the stuff in my life kinda grosses me out. :)
