100% Pure Purity Hydrating Tonique

Acne care
I have been looking for natural alternatives to my skincare regime and this toner has won a permanent spot!  I have used Clinique's Clarifying lotion #3 for 20 years and although I am extremely happy with it, I am looking to be more green.

I tip the bottle twice onto my cotton round.  Not saturating, just 2 damp spots.  I was afraid that my skin would feel sticky after the application since there wouldn't be an evaporation period due to the lack of alcohol, but it didn't feel that way.  As an oily skin the last thing I want to feel is sticky residue after I washed all the grime off.  I actually enjoy the addition of alcohol;  I like the coolness and the quick dry-down time.  Not only do I feel comfortably hydrated, this product does dry down completely.

Night before Vegas Haul Ya'll! Let me say this proudly: Do not let a sales associate or a manager intimidate you or make you feel badly for saving money with multiple coupons.  Today a snarky WAG employee said, "Are you actually going to use all of this stuff?"  I replied, "Yes - I stock up while they are on sale."  My husband wishes I would have told her to mind her own effin business.  

You have every right to be there.  You have every right to use the coupons.  You have every right to stack those coupons for your advantage.  No one has the right to make you feel bad about saving money. I was empowered by my organization as well as my savings.  I smiled and put my next order on the counter.  7 transactions in all. 13 coupons and a few RapidRewards redeemed.

70 Items @ $131.69 4/26/11

My day started with a trip to find a new WAG.  I wasn't completely satisfied with the store I was shopping and knew I could find a 'home' store - the one I would always shop from.  I found it.  It is also closer to my house by 1/2 mile.  Since I am averaging 4 times a week shopping trips, that 1/2 mile will add up in gas savings.
