I’ve been in NY this week on business – so sorry for the few and far between posts. But being here this week has been very grueling with hard work, long hours and oh my, the heat and humidity! But I have some great people that I work with; Trooper A (Andrew) and Trooper B (Brooke). While many people say “oh! such a glamorous field of work”, I have to chuckle because if they only knew! That’s when the Fergie song Glamorous came to mind.
But while maneuvering the crowded streets and stifling subway system, we had some great laughs. I thought I’d share with you some of our sources for laughs and code words.
- Ham – just hot and sweaty all over – whether brought on by heat or nervousness
- Swass – Sweaty A@#
- Swack – Sweaty Back
- Swoobs – Sweaty Boobs
- Swits – Sweaty Pits
Well, you get the picture, the heat can make you delirious. I admire the women in their work day best and polished makeup. How do they look so cool and collected, I’d love to know. What are your secrets for keeping put together in the heat?

clinical strength deodorant, evian spray water, & when in Tokyo, a lovely little hankie to mop up the dampness. All tokyoites carry these.
I started using the new Mineral Makeup from Prescriptives. I haven’t had to “powder my nose” until late afternoon! It’s sweat and waterproof and gives a great “glow” unlike those other minerals. I also like the newer deodorant from Dove. Grapefruit and lemongrass scented. The rosewater facial toner from Fresh is unbelievable!
Great advice! I think making sure you have a bottle of water to drink as well is so important.
I have heard a lot about the Prescriptives Mineral Makeup. I will have to give it a try. I too am not fans of some of the other brands.
