So the local Ice Cream Social was very disappointing. Of course that may be because I had the Sunset Market in Oceanside to compare it to. I did a walk around and promptly left. There was nothing there of interest at all.
I haven't hear anything from SimplySoap.com since I placed my order yesterday. Hopefully they'll let me know when they ship my order.
Today was very uneventful. The highlight being that I bought myself a pack of EZ Combs. I read some customer complaints, but so far they have worked out for me. I'm having trouble keeping some of my shorter pieces of hair from coming loose though.

Choices
As I said yesterday I was considering a few choices of soap selections to order from SimplySoap.com
I finally decided on the Wylde Faerie Sampler Pack. So sometime next week I should be getting seven 1.5oz bars. One for each type of 'Wylde Faerie Soap" they make. The one I'm looking forward to the most is the Honey, Milk, and Vanilla soap. It just sounds really good. I hear (as per the review on "The Soap Bar" blog) that the Jasmine and Orange Blossom soap is good too.
Depending on how I like them I'll be ordering a full bar of my favorite type and trying out some of their other selections.
In local news, in the Imperial Valley tonight is the Ice Cream Social/Rain on Main in El Centro. It start at 5pm and ends at 10pm. I plan on going around 5:30-6. I'm not sure how long I'll stay as it really depends on how interesting the event is. Nothing in this valley is ever very big. So there probably won't be very much to see.

Sick Day, Vacation, and Soap
Everyone seems to be getting sick today. My Mom woke up with dizziness and generally just not feeling well so I opened up at the shop for her. I've been here all day. Since she is sick I don't really mind. Not much has occurred today besides a few customers, deliveries, and a visit from my ex picking up something he had left with me.
I'm still interested in perfumes, but as I already own enough to last me a good while I'm not looking into buying any at this time or even in the near future. I ended up buying a Travalo for myself as well as for my Mother and Grandmother. They got gold ones and I got a pink one. One of them actually leaked so I wrote to the company and they sent me a replacement for free. That's mighty good customer service.
Recently I took a five day trip to Oceanside. It was so much fun! It was with one of my friends. She and her boyfriend had recently split up so it was like a vacation for the heart broken. We're both feeling better now. It could be better though. While there we went to the Sunset Market they hold every Thursday. We had planned on attending the Farmer's Market, but failed to do so as we overslept. While there we procured some cute hair ornaments (two each) and I got myself a 2oz bottle of Vanilla Body Oil. It smells divine, but the scent doesn't last on the skin. That might be because I put on lotion first though. I'll try it tomorrow without lotion and see how that works out. The woman that sold it to me has a website: http://www.lotionlady.com. It might be worth checking out. The hair ornaments are also sold online, from which I found out that the man at the market over charged us. The site is: http://www.lrose.biz.
I completed all my souvenir shopping there as well. An adorable glass teapot with a flower inside for my mother, a CD for my Father, and a Chinese jewelry box for my Grandmother.
The "Lotion Lady" also had handmade soaps for sale. I regret not buying one at the time as I can't seem to find any in my area. So looking online I've found that these particular items are pricier then in person. However there is a lot more selection. I've found a site with products that have caught my interest. It is: http://www.simplysoap.com. Once I decide what to get I'll place an order. Right now it's between the "Wylde Faerie Soap Sampler Pack", "Wylde Wytch Sampler Pack", and the "White Elephant Soap Scraps" bag. The White Elephant bag is a good deal, but the sampler packs come with each soap sample labeled. This company is located in San Diego, so anything I order should actually get to me in less then a week. Therefore I am not in much of a hurry to make a decision. I wonder what I'll choose though?
