WOWZA! We Average 9-12 Beauty Products Per Day
Hi, ladies. Just a quick note before bed. I was skimming through some old posts when I got home from lunch in the city (FUN! I’ll tell you about it tomorrow) and thought this was kinda interesting…
Our average is to use between 9-12 beauty products per day. The original poll took into account everything from bath products to skin care and makeup.
Do you use more or less than that?

The consummate crazy cat lady…
I adore this acoustic version of Natasha Bedingfield’s Love Like This — girl can SING!
Oops! I just noticed the time. I’m meeting a friend for lunch in the city. Her name is El, short for Eleanor and not El Debarge… although lunch with El Debarge would be kinda cool. I can’t lie.
Have a great morning! I’ll be back soon. 🙂

What Would You Get from Essie Art of Spring?
Today I thought of a scene from The Devil Wears Prada, the one where Meryl Streep’s icy Miranda Priestly schools her dowdy assistant Andy (Anne Hathaway) on the influence that high fashion has on everyday American life.
Remember Andy’s cerulean blue sweater?
The color, Miranda says, walked down a runway long before it ever found its way to a major retail store.
That scene left a total impression on me… Now, as I try to follow beauty trends, I’m always fascinated by how many color and style trends begin life on a runway.
