No, I am not giving away any boxes of mints, the title of this blog post refers to the quote for this week and I am linking it also to Art Journal Journey where Valerie has the theme "Spring Goddess".
"It was a lovely Spring day and the two friends had met up for a drink at a little coffee shop just by the Park off the High Street.
"What on earth are you wearing those sunglasses for?" asked Belinda of Samantha.
"They are new", said Sam, "I treated myself to some rose coloured glasses in the hope that the world would look a lot better place."
"What on earth is the matter?" said Belinda, sounding quite concerned that something drastic had happened in the life of her friend Sam. "Surely things cannot be that bad."
"Well, you know what they say, life is so much better if looked at through rose coloured spectacles, and so I thought maybe I too would look better if I wore them. The only trouble is, when I put them on and saw my reflection in a shop window I did not look any better and I am so upset, so very upset."
"What on earth are you talking about?" asked Belida, "there is nothing wrong with the way you look, you look just the same as you did last week."
"That's the trouble" replied Sam, "I just ate four boxes of thin mints. ... not feeling thin though"
"You did what?" asked Belinda, "You ate four boxes of thin mints and expect to lose weight? You silly old sausage, they will either make you put more weight on, or if they were covered in chocolate will give you spots. If you are serious about losing weight why not join the local Slimming Club, look if you want I will come along with you."
"Really?" asked Sam, "You would do that for me?"
"Yes" said Belinda, "You are my best friend and that's what best friends do for one another."
And with that the two girls walked off arm in arm and continued with their shopping. (Sam left her biscuit and milky coffee on the table.)

Spring's bright light is not always good if you don't want to show or see something...
The pink sunglasses are nether. Belinda gave Sam a good advise I think.
Fun story and cool illustration, Neet.
Have a happy last day of Mach xx
Your story did make me smile this week Neet. Four boxes of thin mints, no wonder why she is feeling down. What was she thinking? Smile. Rose colored glasses were a great idea, even if they can't hide the 4 boxes of thin mints. Thanks so much for joining us this month at AJJ, and today too, for Valerie's spring theme. Hope April starts off as a good month for you. Hugs-Erika
I think I need some rose colored glasses about now. I can see how Sam would want them, especially after eating all those mints. Loved the saying you had to work around and your resulting story. This is fun and so well colored, too. Thanks for a final entry to Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear.
Hmmm... I thought thin mints would make your slim - won't they?? If they don't I'm in deep uh hummmm... nah, just kidding Neet. Love you page, and the story is a fun one - and unfortunately I have never had rose tinted glasses... and I have worn them for many years now. Maybe that's what I am missing ;)
Blessings

Rose coloured glasses sound good to me, not sure I could have eaten all those mints without feeling a bit sickly.
Its a fabulous fun page and super for the AJJ theme.

I can’t remember if I have commented or not. Great story and figures and love the rise coloured glasses. I don’t think I could eat one box of thin mints, although I do love them. Hugs Wendy. xx
Such a fun page! Mint thins remind me of our holidays to Ambleside in the Lake District, there's a chocolate shop that makes and sells them - so yummy and I wish they made you thin (smile!) 😉. Take care! Hugs Jo x
