Twenty four years ago my mind was a clean slate with floating images of my family's faces and my moms boobs everywhere. As I grew older my brain wrinkles grew and grew and my mind has constantly been opening to new ideas, opinions, views, lies, Truth, and PRODUCTS.
Well, I'd say about three years ago my mind started hitting some dead ends and little by little it started to close.
I know people are constantly saying to "keep an open mind", but you know, it's easier said than done when you're as opinionated as me.
I've developed a few deep long lasting relationships with certain products and people over the years and I wanted to share my love in this episode of...
SURPRISE!!!!
It's Marissa's Favorite Things
(*Don't think you're going home with anything besides my opinion)
Now this is a work in progress because I don't marry a product unless it's for better or for better.
-First and foremost I'd like to thank Clinique for their wonderful skin care line.
I don't know what I would do with out my mild liquid facial soap, clarifying lotion, and dramatically different moisturizing lotion.
If you ever for a second think that I was born with great skin, think again, and stop by your local Clinique counter.
I have a little panic attack if I run out of any of the three before I can stop by and get more.
Luckily, this is the one costly (Necessary) indulgence that my husband always allows me.
Thank you, Justin.
-Next I'd like to drop it down real low and give a shout out to Cottonelle toilet tissue.
Anything else is pretty much unacceptable in my house.
-Benefit Erase Paste is the absolute best concealer I have found. I have always had the most awful dark circles around my eyes. Someone who isn't used to seeing me with out makeup may very well think that I have shiners.
This is also costly, but it's amazing.
Unfortunately, I can't always stay stocked up on this, but I try to.
Actually, I really love all Benefit products.
-and Bare Minerals, duh.
If you haven't used bare minerals yet, you've been living under a rock.
If you didn't like it or see a dramatic improvement from your old foundation you obviously didn't watch the video that shows you how to put it on correctly.
Do yourself a favor and buy a bareMinerals starter kit and feel be-a-u-tiful.
It lasts forever.
-Diet Mountain Dew
...ugh shut up.
-Silk Almond milk.
Stop drinking milk. I know it's really hard to cut out dairy because cheese and yogurt is delicious, but It really doesn't make any sense to drink another species breast milk.
People say "God put cows on this Earth to make milk."
Well, no. Humans just assumed that since cows nipples are so big that we need to start sucking on them.
I bet elephants have big nipples too. I don't see anyone drinking elephant milk.
Which brings me to my next love...
-The book Skinny Bitch.
It will explain to you all about the nastiness of eating animal products and dairy in a very annoying, yet tolerable and interesting way.
You can find it in the diet and lifestyle section of any book store. I promise that if you've even toyed with the idea of vegetarianism or veganism it will send you over the edge before you're even half way through.
-Goldwell shampoo and conditioner
-Shannon Lamm, Owner of Atomic Salon in Raleigh
The only person I have let touch my hair in my twenties.
(919) 828 0064
-Dr Brannon, OB/GYN, Cary, NC
I had a love hate relationship during my pregnancy, but it's just love now.
-Digiorino Stuffed crust pizza.
...which happened to be our dinner tonight and my midnight snack.
The last slice looked like the holy grail when I walked out into my kitchen a bit ago.
Okay that's all I can think of for now because my face is getting tired.
More to come on a another day.
