My Secret Obsessions

Some women collect shoes while others collect purses. Here is my story. My secret was revealed a few weeks ago when I accidentally dropped a necklace pendant down the drain of the bathroom sink. I was on my way out to dance class and didn't have time to wait for Paul to find it. Luckily he is handy enough that I knew he wouldn't have trouble retrieving it. When I came home from dance class I happened to go into the bathroom and this is what I saw.



All of my hair products were spread across the counter-top. I was a little embarrassed. Paul, however was "shocked and dismayed" to find so many hair products hidden under our sink. He couldn't believe I had so many and never knew about them. Until then, it was my well kept little secret. What could I say? I certainly don't wake up looking like I walked out of the salon. I have very fine thin hair and I am easily influenced by infomercials. In my defense, I do use all of these products at one time or another. And to tell you the truth, that's not even all of my hair products. I have a few more hidden away in a drawer.

So the other day, Paul and I were at the store and he asked me if I had any ChapStick he could borrow. As I was looking through my purse I found 8 lip glosses but no ChapStick. Paul was amazed I had so many lip glosses in one purse. I obviously can't wear them all at once, so why did I have 8 in my purse. I explained it's because I never know what kind of mood I will be in when I want to put on lip gloss. Since each one is a different color or has sparkles and matches different outfits, I need to carry several "just in case". Now instead of 8, I only carry 4 and always make sure to have ChapStick so Paul won't be tempted to use one of my ever so sparkly lip glosses. Just as I am tempted by hair products on infomercials, the lip gloss gets to me as well. I have to say that I got a" super awesome" deal on Ebay: 12 lip glosses for $12. You can't find that in any store!

Below is a picture of all the lip glosses I own.



In my defense to all of these products, I never buy something unless it's on sale. And if it's not I try to find the best internet price, usually on Ebay.

So now that I've shared my secret obsessions, I challenge all of you to share one of yours.
