After the reading the post, I went to my cupboard and inspected my stuff. It all seemed pretty reasonable, but it DID resemble the picture the writer had posted along with the piece he had written.<\/p>\n
Determined to prove that there\u2019s a logical explanation behind every tube, bottle and jar, here I am, explaining why we have the amount that we do. At the very least, why I have what I have and maybe some women will agree with me. Here we go:<\/p>\n Moisturisers<\/strong><\/p>\n I have one for the day, one for the night, a generic moisturiser for the days I\u2019m too lazy to do the whole toner-hydrating serum-moisturiser regime, body butter, and a \u201cheavy\u201d moisturiser for my elbows and knees.<\/p>\n Why so many, you ask? Contrary to what many guys believe, skin may be just skin, but some areas have thinner skin than others, making it more sensitive. That\u2019s why we have different creams for different body parts. You wouldn\u2019t use a harsh bar of soap for your handsome face, would you? Wait, don\u2019t answer that.<\/p>\n Pre-wash Hair Products<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, there are two types of hair oil and a homemade hair mask made of rice and mung beans. Hair oil is a very Indian thing to have, I suppose. While not many Indian girls my age use hair oil, many don\u2019t suffer with a 3-finger wide \u2018hair parting\u2019 the way I do, either. I\u2019ve got two different oils because both are good, and two good things should make a better thing, right? The hair mask is another traditional thing. All I know is, my Nanna used to apply it to my hair when I was a kid and I never had any comb-overs.<\/p>\n Foot Care<\/strong><\/p>\n Bath salts, foot scrubber, pumice and peppermint exfoliating cream.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve seen what happens to feet that don\u2019t get the treatment they deserve. You are either capable of not noticing when you walk out of the house barefoot, or you spend almost 2 hours at a pedicure with the poor woman doing all she can to make your feet appear humanlike while she wonders how she has sinned to deserve a client like you.<\/p>\n I must admit, I have the bath salts only because they smell nice.<\/p>\n Hairbrushes and Combs<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, even the woman who has approximately 400 strands of hair thinks that she needs more than one comb. I have two hair brushes with identical properties and a wide-toothed comb. The comb is to detangle the wet hair before blow-drying, one hair brush is to blow dry my hair and the other brush is to style my hair after I dry it because all the static from the previous brush will just fuck up the styling process. See? Not that complicated, right?\u00a0 *snort*<\/p>\n Miscellaneous Products<\/strong><\/p>\n This is usually a result of my inability to say, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0 Yes, I plan to make that my selling point at clubs, but that\u2019s beside the point.<\/p>\n I have a \u2018Bi-phasic Hydrating Serum\u2019 that I have to put on before I apply my moisturiser because apparently, my skin is SO dry that the moisturiser can\u2019t be absorbed by my cells. Magically enough, this miracle serum can bust through my Sahara-like skin and make me look so dewy fresh that you could mistake my face for a blade of grass at dawn.<\/p>\n If you think that\u2019s silly, you should know about my \u2018Shaping Facial-Lift Lipo-drain Serum\u2019. The kind aesthetician\u00a0 at Clarins explained to me that by applying this cream and holding my face is various ways that usually make me look like I\u2019m mourning the loss of a fingernail, I can get rid of the chubby cheeks and double-chin that I\u2019m genetically predisposed with.\u00a0 You know, the very same cheeks that my UK \u2013Size-8 mother has. In my defence, I really needed to wee and saying \u2018yes\u2019 to the lady ensured I didn\u2019t leave a puddle on her recently waxed floor.<\/p>\n I am well aware that guys may have some sort of way to minimize our possessions by 60% (e.g. use more cream on the thicker skin, use less of the same cream on thinner skin or some nonsense like that), but that\u2019s not what we want. If we had any less that what we have now, we\u2019d probably think we\u2019re punishing ourselves. It\u2019s a girl thing.<\/p>\n HAPPY WOMEN\u2019S DAY!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Women are a funny bunch. I should know, I am one.\u00a0 Many guys I know are usually baffled by how we work, but just ride the wave because it\u2019s easier than trying to figure us out. I roughly know what the usual stereotypes are about women; we don\u2019t say what \u2026 Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/crazywench\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5250.jpg\" "\\"My")
