Cotton Facial Cleansing Pads

My first Walmart product envy.

I use these babies with astringent or witchhazel to clean my face each night. I officially ran out yesterday. I'll probably use toilet paper tonight, but on a long term basis, it doesn't really work very well. Toilet paper absorbs the astringent so that it doesn't really apply to the face, instead of holding the liquid at the surface, like cotton.

My mom called me this afternoon to tell me she was shopping at Walmart, and to ask me if I needed anything. Well, I thought about the facial pads. I do need some, and I would usually buy some at Walmart. According to Walmart.com, they are $2.00 for a pack of 60.

Tonight, I'll suffice with using some other cleanser that doesn't require anything more than water. It doesn't work as well as my other system, but it will do. I'll have to see what Ozark Natural Foods carries for facial cleansing.

In other news, two people have brought up the new Walmart pharmacy on campus to me in the past two days. Once was this morning, before geology. The girl lives on my floor, and we were making small talk. I think I probably sounded really uninterested when she started talking about the details of what the new pharmacy carries. But I wasn't really comfortable talking about my no-Walmart project. It was basically silent in the classroom other than us, so everyone could hear what we were saying. I'm not ashamed of what I'm doing, but I am afraid of framing it in the wrong way when I tell people about it. And also I'm afraid of conflict. I dread that people won't hear me out. I should probably get more comfortable with the wording before I go around talking about it.

Yesterday, I saw a drove of people roaming campus, decked out in royal blue shirts and caps, handing out some sort of advertising material for the pharmacy. Probably tote bags. I saw one today with a razorback on it.
