The Carly & Amy Show

Amy’s a lot of things. One of them is a sweetheart. Just one example: she indulges my little Sephora obsession, she defers to it lovingly. She buys me Sephora gift cards as presents and she’ll drive way the hell and gone to get me to the humongous mall that houses the closest location to her house. What I’ve noticed is that she always does it with a smile on her face (and have I mentioned her great hair?) but the truth is, I’ve never really noticed the gleeful sparkle in my eye reflected in hers. It’s weird.

I’ve visited many a Sephora. It started in Paris and since then, there’s been trips to Seattle, Honolulu and the aforementioned times in Portland. I’ve never said this to anyone before, even though I’ve been thinking it for a while, but each visit has me feeling less and less excited. I’ve begun to wonder whether I’m the problem or Sephora is. Has the shine worn off the former place of my dreams? Or has said place gone downhill? Still, I’ll wander through and inevitably make a purchase, sometimes I even order online, but it just doesn’t have the same excited feel to it anymore. Hmmm….

As mentioned above, I’m kind of over it. And really, it couldn’t come at a more interesting time. You’ll see why later.

That realization made this article even more entertaining to read.
