<\/p>\n1. Getting a pedicure creates mental stability. This is not an opinion. It’s a fact. Having pretty painted perfect toes and smooth gorgeous feet has a direct relationship to inner peace. A to B, people, A to B.<\/p>\n
2. I am getting all my hair cut off this week. For an example of what it will look like – see this, Exhibit A – my #1 favorite photograph of the gorgeous Sharon Stone:<\/p>\n

That’s what I will get. Liberation! I also am going to have to take some drastic measures because at the rate I am going, I will need to change my blog moniker from “red” to “grey” by next year.<\/p>\n
3. And lastly: I normally don’t pay attention to commercials. I am sure they have SOME effect on me, but if they do – it is totally subliminal. I don’t buy Tide because some commercial told me to (at least not consciously) … I have been using Tide since I first started doing my own laundry. I’m loyal. What can I say. However, this past week, I was completely influenced by a commercial – so much so that I WROTE DOWN THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT on a piece of paper, so I would remember it. It was for Oil of Olay’s new age-defying night creme, called “Regenerist”. I have no idea why this commercial was so hypnotic and compelling, but it was. Perhaps it was the words “time-release”. Or maybe the woman in the commercial was pretty. No idea. But I thought: “I MUST try this new product.” (I am obsessed with skin care, by the way.) My medicine cabinet is clogged with skin care products that I use religiously. I compartmentalize my own body. I have: eye cream, foot cream, body lotion, special lotion for elbows and knees, face cream (night and day), major heavy-duty cream for the winter when my skin becomes as dry as a Galopogas Island lizard. I have hand cream. I have facial kits. I have toner, I have special lathering cloths which remove makeup. I am insane. So … naturally, I saw that commercial and realized that I need to add to my collection. Today I bought: the Oil of Olay regenerist night cream, and also the Oil of Olay regenerist under-eye cream. I am THRILLED to try it out tonight. The power of advertising, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
