This is too good not to share; the other day I found this online UK chemist; eChemist.co.uk, that ships worldwide for free. Niiiice! I’ve ordered a tube of L’Oreal Exfotonic, my favourite body scrub on God’s green earth that, for some reason, isn’t sold in SA anymore. It cost less than R90 and there’s no delivery charge!

I love this bloody scrub so much that I’ve stood in airports bawling my eyes out, doing a regte ugly cry (you know, the one where you make hideous shuddery gasping noises) ‘cos those evil security people have deemed it a ‘liquid’ and made me toss it out.

Anyway, I’ll be sure to let you know how the whole transaction goes; like if I get nailed for import tax or whatever, but so far I reckon it’s a pretty exciting find. They stock all sorts of rad brands we don’t get in SA (think La Roche Posay, Burt’s Bees, Avene, St Ives etc) and you can buy my beloved migraine-busting Imigran Recovery* without a script. Score!

Love, love

*Imigran’s active ingredient is Sumatriptan. It’s NOT a painkiller; it’s a vasodilator. This means it helps to open up your blood vessels which tend to scrunch up super tight when you get a migraine. Because of this, the blood can’t get through and it causes the kind of ‘pressure-pain’ we interpret as a migraine o’ death. Anyway, I’m in NO WAY prescribing this to you. For all I know you could take one tab, bleed out of your eyes and die a horrible death. God knows. All I’m saying is that it works like a bomb for me. I like to keep it on hand for days when I simply CAN NOT be out of action. You know, like when you’re a bridesmaid of iets and can’t be crawling down the aisle with one hand over your eye attached to a bucket of vom. And if you’re a migraine sufferer like me, you won’t even WINCE at this hideous descriptor; you’ll just nod your head sagely and be all ‘been there, done that’.

So ja, something to consider…
