New Years Day 2012

I could say all sorts of clichéd things about New Years Day... BUT I just don't feel like it.  Instead I will fall back on one of my most polished strengths... COMPLAINING.  Most view complaining as an awful waste of energy but for me, at times like this... I find it to be a sticky sweet sarcastic form of therapy, free therapy!  Between the gray skies, cold miserable weather (there is a snow storm moving in as I type), deciding that I am not going to escape to somewhere warm & relaxing while on vacation from work, New Years Eve plans going to poo AND just making a payment to my ever growing credit card bill... I  find myself in a FUNK.  After typing and reading it in black & white, it's no wonder I'm in a funk, but I have started researching one of the first topics I would like to blog about...

What is all that STUFF that is listed under 'ingredients' in the fine print of  various bath & beauty products that I use on a daily basis?!?!?  Despite taking Organic Chemistry ONE & TWO in college (I admit it O.Chem2 I took twice, the only course that I EVER have taken twice maybe I should have kept the D and called it good) I can't begin to pronounce most of the ingredients in regular bath & beauty products.  Beyond that I have NO IDEA what the stuff is but I'm willing to bet some significant money that it's nothing good.

So the research begins...
