Well I don’t know if anyone read my Tweets late last night but it turns out that at about 10.30pm I found myself locked inside my bedroom. The lock of my door had jammed for some reason and I was essentially stuck inside the room with no way out. If I could use lipgloss to open the door I would but I couldn’t – obviously \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\"beauty<\/p>\n

It took me about 2 hours to break the lock and to get out after midnight, with a little help from my bro who had to drive over from his place with screwdrivers. When I tell you that I live on a high floor of a condominium, and I had to have screwdrivers passed up to me from the condo unit downstairs, it all made for quite an adventure and a bit of McGuyver ingenuity.<\/p>\n

But before I got my hands on a screwdriver which made things much easier and cut my work by about an hour, I was using various tools found in my bedroom in my attempt to dismantle the lock – I had a pair of tweezers for unscrewing screws, a hairpin for dismantling door knobs, a wire hanger to attempt to jiggle the lock loose and massage oil in a failed attempt to oil the stuck lock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They didn’t work to free me, obviously, but they kept me amused until help arrived in the form of screwdrivers, elbow grease and turning the air blue with cusses \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Perhaps if I had persisted, the tweezers might have worked but it was late and I wasn’t in the mood to try it.<\/p>\n

Have you had a McGuyver moment involving beauty tools \ud83d\ude42 I know the title of my post is a bit misleading but hey! Made ya look! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
