how it all began

I had two things motivate me to start this blog.
1. My gym has been closed for the past week. So I have had more time to check my email ( which is code for more time to read perez's gossip site and other blogs). This motivated me to start my own blog. After all I am a self proclaimed expert on skin care, cosmetics, fashion and reality TV. ( wow don't I sound interesting!!!!!) Who doesn't like to dish the dirt on celebrities, hey it builds my self esteem.
2. On a more heartfelt note I had a dear friend pass away last week. ( A. D. D. moment, why do people go up to the casket and say, "she looks good, so peaceful." I have never been to a funeral where the person "looked good." For the record no one looks good in orange pancake make-up. I will admit her boobs looked fantastic. Everyone agreed , she would have been proud. Note to self, call funeral home and get the name of the bra.) Anyway in last few years of her life she wrote some wonderful words of wisdom, being that she was a teacher her words were truly heartfelt and meaningful. It motivated me to write. I will admit I have a hard time being heartfelt. I am better at facts and sarcasm. So take this for what it is, product reviews, dishing the dirt, my interests with a little dark wit. Now go put your lips on!!!
