Here is a post that is completely unrelated to Sloane, motherhood and the teeny tiny birth defect that creeps into our daily life. In spite of counting how many sips are happening daily, I do have time to be just be me. And sometimes there is a minute a day, to be (the post: "the other girl") me!!
1. A college roommate of mine has a blog called "mama says what" that I feature in favorite blogs line-up. She posted about a beauty product that she loves. I have always trusted my friend with her beauty tips as she has been in the spa/beauty business for almost 20 years. There was a time when she gave me: her mascara only, dove soap using, Lubriderm face moisturizing friend...samples before they hit the shelves. Now, that I am a bit more seasoned in my beauty regimen I would dream for those little bottles. Here is a link to a self tanner type product she is loving!! I'll be ordering mine soon.

2. I have a new favorite show. It is The Conversation with Amanda DeCadenet. It is on Lifetime on Thursday at 11pm. Obviously, I dvr it since I can't stay up past 10 most nights. It is a very candid show that puts familiar faces in realistic views.
3. I love to read! I have always loved to read. Some summers, the aunties and I would read a book a week. Most books were a version of a love/loss/love again story. Over the years, I had grown very proud of my library at home. It almost become a display piece. I truly hadn't had time to read until lately. As soon as I opened up the pages of an Elin Hilderbrand book last month, I was reminded why I love to read.
This past week, I decided to give in to peer pressure and read the NY Times Bestseller 50 SHADES OF GRAY (the first book in the trilogy). I usually do not read like to read the "in" books. But, all I have to say is OMG! In all my years of reading, I have never read a book like this. I understand now why it is categorized as erotica romance! I heard it referred to it, on the radio, as mommy porn? Well, whatever you want to call it!! One thing I know for sure is the intimacy level has been raised in many homes because of E.L. James narrative abilities! I can feel myself blushing as I am turning the pages.
