FROM MY STORAGE TO YOURS
A few people have mentioned to me that they plan to use I Dare You to Eat It for their book clubs, which is great news to me. I of course hope it happens and I want to offer a…GIFT WITH PURCHASE, just for fun.
Here’s the story. My daughter, Rosie, has worked as a professional model. She had a three year contract with Elite New York (trivia– same agency that offers contracts to the winners of America’s Next Top Model) and spent a couple of years modeling all over the world. Starting when she was 16, she lived in Singapore, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. Quite the adventure.
Last summer Rosie didn’t especially like the contracts that were coming her way, decided to take some time off, and spent the summer working at a VERY nice day spa. While she was working for this company, they decided to carry a new line of cosmetics…lotions and potions, and offered the employees the remaining stock. I’m telling you all of this because I would never buy this stuff myself. I buy my makeup at the dollar store, wash my face with water, and use Suave lotion. Cheap, cheap, and more cheap.
So, Rosie gave me some of these ‘amazing’ products and I want to give them to you! Let’s say that the next two people to order 5 or more books will receive Age Concept, Multi-Active Anti-Aging Neck And Decollete Cream (I don’t even know where my decollete IS!) and a Moisturizing Anti-Aging Body Cream.
Here’s the kicker, and a perfect example of our crazy economy. The face cream is only 1.6 Fl.oz and costs….are you ready?….$295.00! I KNOW! IT’S INSANE!!! The box still has the price sticker on it and that’s exactly what it says! The other box, very same stuff, is marked at $203.00. Hey, it’s only about a hundred dollar difference, no problem. The boxes with body lotion, 6.7 Fl.oz, don’t have price stickers so I don’t know what they sold for, but you can guess. I never opened them or tried the products because I was too intimidated and I knew I had unrealistic expectations. I mean, for that kind of money, that stuff better make me taller!
Anyway, like I said, this is just for fun. I certainly can’t endorse these products. If you were already planning to purchase a small pile of books, do it now, and I’ll send you two boxes of the most expensive lotion on the planet. I’m sure that’s not true but you get the idea. They really are part of my cosmetic storage and it’s high time they were used.

I get asked that question EVERY time! WHY does no one believe she could be my daughter? lol JUST KIDDING! Yes, thaaaat’s really my daughter. I think the shot was taken when she was working in New York. (One of her sisters lovingly refers to Rosie as the ‘good gene hog’.)

Thank you Sarah! Rosie is enjoying college and teaches Relief Society. We think she’s an amazing person.

Hate to “rub it in” but the lotion is gone! Thank you to friends in Oregon and Las Vegas. I really appreciate those giant book orders. May you both always have lovely complextions and food enough to share!
