Greetings my Viewpoints friends! I'm sorry I've been so out of the loop and behind on my writing, but my husband and I made an 1,800 mile move and discovered we've got a little on on the way in March 2010!
So please forgive my being remiss - I'm back now and can't wait to read everybody's reviews on cribs/bottles/toys and more!
I'm here! I promise! Life just got so crazy and writing reviews sadly slipped under the pile of things to do. My current review which is just a draft has been sitting sadly on the Viewpoints webpage, nagging at me to finish it! So alas, I return! I have missed you all in the few months it has been.
Am I almost legitimate?! :o) How do I become a Viewpoints writer? Oh how I so wish to join your ranks!
Please read! I added to this blog and I'd love to have feedback! I just ordered some new makeup from E.L.F. yesterday that I am very excited to try! There has been so much buzz about these products on television and in magazines that I just couldn't help my curiosity. I ordered some of their liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, face whips and body butter. I'll be sure to tell you all how it holds up to Viewpoints scrutiny!
Addendum (3.20.09): BayouBengal brought something really important to my attention and now that I look again I see that she is right. E.L.F. (eyeslipsface) is affliated with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). This weblink: www.eyeslipsface.com/peta will tell you that everytime you buy E.L.F.'s "Fur Free" tweezer ($10) - 50% of the proceeds will go to PETA. I want to ask people if they think it is beneficial to create a discussion thread about this? Many people beleive that PETA is not in fact helping animals whatsoever. To learn more, visit their website http://www.peta.org/. If you are interested in the anti-PETA movement, websites like this one are also available: http://www.petakillsanimals.com/
It is very exciting to be a new Viewpoints member! This is such a fantastic website. I'm struggling with how to choose what to review - but I'm sure that just comes with time.
Thanks to everybody for their friendliness and their wonderful encouragement! It's nice to know that we all have opinions that can be heard!
