Oprah I am not. But I am Princess Mikkimoto dammit and I have some of my favorite things that I want to share with the world. Or at least the 10 people who read this blog.
Unlike Oprah, I won’t be mailing all of these treasures to your home. Sorry, that’s not in the budget. And also, unlike my girl O, all these treasures are under $20! So take that O. I got the cheap ladies version of fabulous things.
The first is M.A.C’s new Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour. Shelly is the one that got me started on this. She bought it months before me and I would always say, “Are you wearing that Will Never Leave Your Lips MAC lipstick?”
“Yep! Put it on hours ago.”
Brat!
Because her lips always looked fantastic (yes, I check out my friends lips. You have a problem with that?) I couldn’t stand the jealously anymore and finally broke down and got myself some.
Sweet Baby Jesus this stuff rocks. It’s so pretty with the gloss and the color truly does not move. I wore it all New Year’s and never had to reapply the color just the gloss. Which I did in earnest, especially as the night went on.

My next most favorite thing is the Caress Exfoliating Beauty Bar, Tahitian Renewal.

I hope my fellow Eskimo’s are reading this because for that awful dry winter skin, this soap can’t be beat. Not only is the smell amazing (because who doesn’t need some tropics your January shower?) but the exfoliating is ridiculous. I finally have human skin again. I am no longer going to get mistaken for a snake.
And finally, if you need a good escape and a great laugh, either buy or better yet check this book out from the library.

Chelsea Handler is one of the funniest women out there and this book doesn’t disappoint. Is book great writing? Not really. Is it ridiculous funny? Hell! YES!
Even though I consider myself a fairly humous person who also enjoys a good joke and a funny story, I rarely laugh out loud when watching movies or reading books. Unless of course my wirey 8 year old buddy is sitting next to me and he’s laughing. Then all bets are off.
But with this book I found myself laughing out loud. To myself! A lot! Especially at the last chapter. Folks, that just doesn’t happen. This book is that funny.
So there you go readers. Until my next installment of My Favorite Things, go forth and purchase! Stimulate this economy!
I hope President Obama wrote me into his new stimulus package.
