Well, here’s the story. I had some balance in my Paypal last December that I was pondering about using because I think it’d be a great reward or gift for me for overexerting last year for business purposes.

I was choosing between the lovely IPOD Nano 8gb in ravishing red, and well, the Clarisonic Face Brush that I’ve been reading so much rave reviews about.
