In Which I Completely Succumb to Marketing
I'm not a spendy person. I don't usually go for gimmicks, and generally don't buy many things. But since I just turned 30 and had a baby and am noticing LOTS of changes in my body as a result of both, I'm a bit more succeptable than usual.
I was on the treadmill at the gym, channel surfing as I ran. I landed on an infomercial-style show advertising the new Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty line of beauty products. I don't use many beauty products, in fact, for the last year I've done very little for my face except rub it with a washcloth. I watched the show for at least 15 minutes.
Wow, Cindy Crawford's skin looks almost the same at 43 as it did at 28! Her cosmotologist is now commercializing the products he's used on her for years! A melon grown in southern France can slow the effects of aging! I seriously was eating it up before I even realized it.
Switch to another channel, 'cause this is getting out of hand. P90X! Sculpt and tone! Sculpt and tone! Yes! That's exactly what I need! Switch to another channel -- trying to have Thanksgiving dinner with triplets under the age of 1. Ugh. Back to Cindy Crawford.
Upshot is, I talked myself down from P90X. Maybe I'll try it when I'm done nursing or at least when I feel like I could attempt 'extreme yoga'. But I went to meaningfulbeauty.com, and I admit, I bought the 30-day supply. 'Cause who doesn't want skin like Cindy Crawford? P90X should hire her.
