This week is National Cervical Cancer Awareness week in Australia so ladies, today’s post is just for you.

So … pap smears. You know what? I used to think that pap smears are the yuckiest and most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever had to subject my body to (surgeries don’t really count, since all of the ones I’ve had had me knocked out good) until I had a mammogram. Yeah, try having a mammogram when you’re young and still have quite *ahem* bouncy boobs. You’ll be wishing you had 10 pap smears instead!

When was the last time you had a pap smear?

Happy hump day, you gorgeous chickadees!

First of all, let me just say, thank you so much for participating in the Beautyholics Anonymous Annual Reader Survey 2014. All of your feedback was fantastic and this will help me tremendously in planning content for you in 2015.

Y’see, us bloggers, we think we know what you want. We write what we think you want, which is often what we want, which funnily enough, isn’t really what you want. Have I confused you yet? When I read your feedback, it astounded me because what I thought you wanted wasn’t really what most of you wanted! Yet you stuck around with me, day in and day out with nary a complaint.

Seriously, you guys. BEST. READERS. EVER. A blogger could only get so lucky to have y’all in her blogging life. *sniff*

Anyway, since you’ve helped me out with the survey, I thought I’d show you the results in case you’re interested. Me, I’m just happy to whip up the ol’ Excel and get crackin’ on ’em spreadsheets!

I had 172 responses for the survey and here are the results.

My last review on a Josie Maran product wasn’t too savoury but when you’ve been looking forward to trying one specific item from the brand for so long only to found out how disappointing it was … you know what I mean, right? Having said that, there was one more item that I was pretty keen to get my hands on and one that turned out to be very satisfactory, and that’s the 100% Pure Argan Oil Light Ultra Lightweight Moisturising Oil.

When I checked the Josie Maran shelves out at Kit Cosmetics when they were first launched, I was only supposed to buy just a lipstick but after testing the Argan Oil Light out, I decided to put it in my shopping basket too. Tsk tsk, such dangerous purchases, no? 😛
