Just plain wrong uses for expesive cosmetics....

I am glad I am not the nanny for the Von Trapp kids. Mainly because I can barely cope with two, let alone...how many were there? And because I could never come up with words which rhyme with my favourite things...ie my Clinique Superdefense Moisturizing Lotion (mmm, not quite a brown paper package tied with string there).

Anyhoo, I do love my moisturiser, partly because it is a little link back to my life where I used to be able to afford nice cosmetics. I am not sure if it really works. I still look 30. I am 30. Go figure. I am a sucker when it comes to slick marketing.

But today I read something very odd on the label. It said to consult a doctor before using it on a child under the age of six months.

Now why anyone would use bloody expensive moisturiser on a tiny baby is beyond me. To slow the signs of ageing??? Um, sorry this is just plain crazy. Yes, your six month old will show signs of ageing. You actually would hope it does. You have too much money if you put such costly stuff on your baby. Give some to me please.

Is anyone really this stupid? Why why why???? Gives a new meaning to smooth as a baby's bum anyway...
