faux pose
In preparation for this fall semester, that I am anticipating like thiiiiiiiiiisss much, I made a few Amazon orders to grab the last, remaining essentials. One of the more random items on the list was some faux designer sunglasses. And when I saw “random”, I mean “absolutely essential” accessory for my campus fashion. Anyways.
The purchase went well; it was my first purchase, using Amazon, from an outside seller dealing with the online market giant. The company was called “Saka’s Sunglasses“. I paid for regular 5-7 day shipping, the cheapest option possible; yet, I received them next-day. But that’s just the first layer of icing.
The item was packaged in the exact fashion in which I wrap presents - in a cut-up, paper grocery bag. I felt an instant affinity with these people at the sight of my favorite form of gift wrap. Not only that, but they went way overboard on the clear tape which gave it that “I really care” kind of presentation. If that was the end of my package-opening experience, I would have been elated and jovial for the rest of the night. But IT DIDN’T END THERE.
Not only were the sunglasses wrapped in an assortment of protective layers, but on top of the whole package, as the first item I saw (under the home ink-jet printed invoice), was….. Get This… A Thank You Card. Personalized, hand-written thank you card. While I am not about to get overly sentimental in regards to their consideration, I will forever shamlessly promote Saka’s Sunglasses as my premier supplier of faux superstar shades.
And, as a faux barista, myself, I got a tip from Rianna to crank up the amount of my flavor in my non-Plain-Jane iced lattes. Tonight was a sugar-free toffee iced latte, using the tip. Woah! what a difference. I’m glad I have true, non-faux, friends like Rianna who give me drink tips.

You are a dork.

That’s excellent. I’ve done that before too, but my default wrapping paper for friends’ presents is the color Sunday comics.
