Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

Saturday was date night with the hubs and had me showing off Avon’s Purple Chic Pendant Choker and the CZ hoops from their Tokens of Summer Hoop Trio Set in Pink!

I previously reviewed the aqua version of the choker and, sadly, the purple version exhibited the same issues: the pendant is simply too heavy for the chain and continually flips over.  ::sigh::  I even tied the chain into a knot in the back near the clasp in an attempt to keep it in place – no dice.   I previously reviewed the earrings in silvertone and I still agree with that review: the hoops are very small in diameter and are super cute!  Between the silver and gold, I do prefer the silver ones.  I don’t know why I think a solitary CZ stone set in goldtone looks obviously fake (AKA cheap) compared to being set in silvertone, but I do…and these didn’t change my opinion of that combo.

Who among you is/was a big fan of Suave’s fruity shampoos and conditioners in the 70s, 80s and 90s?  Those mouthwatering scented products left my hair smelling fresh and delicious!  Enter Avon’s Kids Tangle Wrangle Leave-In Conditioner & Detangler Spray!  While marketed towards children, I actually use this spray in my own hair following my shower to help detangle my locks and keep it looking beautiful – plus it smells positively divine, bringing a giant smile to my face every single day!  The spray tames fly-aways and features a delicious very berry scent.

microphone-159768_1280.pngI have now joined the ranks of so many great bloggers before me and been “interviewed” on Bottomless Coffee’s (“BC’s”) podcast!  To those already familiar with BC, it may surprise you that we interact regularly: me, a beauty blogger, and BC, a political blogger.  The two don’t naturally go together, but BC asks the tough questions and genuinely wants to hear all sides.  He is willing to admit when you’ve schooled him and is gracious when you flat out disagree.  I am especially delighted by the obvious respect between BC and Steve, two friends IRL who, often, have opposing political views.  It’s fun to hear them go at it while still being respectful of each other.  If you want to hear and read dynamic convos on hot (and longtime) political issues, make sure to check out his blog, Bottomless Coffee 007, and other podcast episodes – there’s tons of material there and you’re sure to find one or more that you’ll wholeheartedly agree, or disagree, with and want your opinion to be known.  On the flip side, BC also records podcast episodes with fellow bloggers of all sorts, not just political bloggers – no two podcasts are alike.  In that respect, he’s very much a people person and truly wants to get to know his virtual friends.  Continue reading
