Measuring moisturizer in the modern age

7/3/2017

0 Comments

 
​Beauty products are measured in units of coin or vegetable—a dime-size dollop of shampoo, a pea-size portion of toothpaste.  Back in the day, before debit cards and the kale craze, when entire casseroles were unabashedly built around tiny shriveled green balls and every cartoon mother exclaimed, “Eat your peas or else!”, these units of measure were perfectly practical. 
 
But the next generation does not understand such antiquated references.  How much longer will the beauty industry continue to speak Latin in church?  Let me help:
  • A Fidget Spinner-size squirt of mousse.
  • A Hot Cheeto-length ooze of body scrub.
  • A dollop of lotion the size of a Logitech HD 1080p webcam lens.

    My name is Nasreen Yazdani.   I used to write micro essays, one-liners, and other small, lighthearted things. Most of them were funny.  

    Now I'm working on a book of stories.  The emotional range is... wilder.
