Sharing my Wisdom




Since finishing my degree, I have spent a lot of time in "leisure therapy." This consists of television shows like Top Model (both American and Aussie), any true crime show and Lost; shopping (though I never seem to actually purchase anything); reading (The Glass Castle, The Miss America Family) and reading tmz.com hourly.
Within this busy schedule I have found time to obsess on certain things--such as cleaning the house, organizing, finding new hair products and exercising. I feel I've learned more about the world in the last two months since graduating, than I have in a long time. Since I can't encapsulate what I learned during my masters, I will tell you what I have l discovered post-op.


Hair--Pave shampoos and conditioners. Put out by Jessica Simpson's hairdresser friend who is in every pic with her until she hooked up with J. May. These products are at Walgreen's, made with no sulfates and donate to a charity. Most important--my hair is too fabulous since I've used it.

Lips--Physician's Formula Lip Palettes. You get four colors that plump and color for under five dollars! And doctor approved.

Drink--OceanSpray Pomegranate/Blueberry. Tasty and cancer-fighting.

Swiffer Wet Mop--Battery run to squirt out product on the floor. So fun to hear that little motor squirting the cleanser out. Makes me feel like something is really getting done. I've cleaned the floor twice in one week!

OxyClean Scrub-free bathroom cleanser--Just like Scrubbing Bubbles, but I assume better because of the "oxy" which brings me back to Oxy10 acne pads in high school that would burn the zits right off you.

Monkey King Green Jasmine tea--Bought loose with little tea bags to fill each time. Makes me feel loved by myself.

Christina Aguilera tunes--Uploaded into my MP3 player. I imagine that I am back in high school and am performing the songs in the gym in front of all my classmates. Their expressions are priceless, of course.

Old discoveries that still feel new: Annie's All Natural Godess Dressing and Tampax Pearl tampons. These have both changed my life.
