SOME STUFF YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW

Lately lots and lots of things have been cracking me up, and recently, it's Gwyneth Paltrow.  I'm not a die hard fan, and have seen some of  her movies, but http://darwinfish2.blogspot.com/ reminded me of why this Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award winner would just be so cool to hang out with for a cup of oolong tea and maybe a salad. I'm not so sure she'd be keen on a cheeseburger, but I could be wrong about that.

If you didn't know, Paltrow created the company Goop in 2008, and Netflix has featured Goop Lab in a recent documentary.  At the end of the day, Darwinfish and I are both wondering if she tested herself or someone else to come up with this candle. (lol) And we both agree that her marketing skills are fabulous!  This sold out for $239.50 on eBay the last time I checked, but you can grab it from Poshmark for $200, or get this sexy citrusy bergamot and rose scent at the bargain price of $75 over at www.goop.com.  

I've been pulling out my hair for the past year, but it's finally finished.  To all my friends who told me that 58 I'm way too old to start something new, I'm just gonna "Shake It Off".
