Stupid products

.

They’re everywhere and I always wonder… does anyone really buy these things?

Because absolutely nothing could wrong with installing a swing set/jungle gym for the kids on your bedroom door frame. Nope. Not a thing.

Though physics will tell you that child is in for a rude awakening quite soon.

You want to teach your children to walk on turtle steps? Good grief people, you know the next thing the little hooligans will be doing is looking for actual turtles to step on.

And then there’s this, lipstick for mature women.

Coincidence that the packaging is covered in crazy cat lady graphics?

I think not.

Can I call a time out?

Being in my fifties and happily married for 38 years, I admit there are days when my normal beauty routine takes a back seat to comfort, convenience and a why bother attitude. My pedicure is in need of a touch up and no, it wouldn’t hurt to retire those comfy yoga pants that are wearing a bit thin in places.

Our house is a no judgement zone but clearly my news feed is not. They’re constantly bombarding me with ridiculous articles and ads pushing the idea that I’ll never be pretty, thin or young enough.

I have special conditioners for my hair, my face, my hands and my feet… for the love of God, I do not need one for my eyebrows.

I fear for this generation. I really do.

Did they really say mature women with a straight face? No one wants to see mature women in a pair of Daisy Dukes and a sleeveless top cut down to there. Don’t believe me? Go shopping at Wal Mart on a warm summer afternoon.
