"Sidebar . . . "

Good morning all,

Just need to take a few moments away from the regularly scheduled design inspirations and my clearly unending obsession with the lighting and textiles for my home.

OK, sidebar - I have really great skin these days . . . but, there's been a kinda complex mathematical equation that has brought me to my new tiny-pored, burnished complexion.

Step 1. Buy new car. (see above)


Step 2. Start listening to Sirius Satellite Radio (obsessively).


Step 3. Begin planning your day around being in the car during the early afternoon (here on the west coast) to listen to "Whatever with Jennifer and Alexis" on Martha Stewart (Channel # 112). The show is hilarious. Seriously.


Step 4. and "viola," you'll end buying a Clarisonic Skin Brush. God, I love this thing. The girls (the aforementioned Jennifer & Alexis) spend a goodly amount of time advertising this little elixir of beautiful skin . . . and now I know why.
