OK, truth be told. I tuned in today to see Oprah talking directly at me (OK, and a gabillion other viewers). She told me to live my best life! To believe in myself! I can do anything!
I will get back to you if I succeed.
I actually haven't watched Oprah much in a couple of years, so I missed the big lovefest with Beyonce and Jerry Seinfeld and Jamie Foxx and Aretha Franklin this week.
But there are a couple of things I rally liked. I though Oprah and BFF Gayle on vacation was brilliant TV. She walked out of the wigwam hotel! And who would blame her? Discovering Suze Orman = brilliant. Love her. Dr. Oz and Bob Green? Not so much; they never told me anything I did not already know. Don't get me started on Rachael Ray, either.
What I really, really liked about Oprah was her "Favorite Things" shows. She would feature the ordinary-but-brilliant, like some lemon square she discovered. She would gift the audience with stuff that was truly oprahlicious and fabulous, like a cashmere bath towel. Either way, I listened.
The big question everyone is asking this week: who will tell us what to do? What do read? How to eat? What Favorite Things to buy? I will, that's who.
So I give you Snarkself's Favorite Thing, summer edition:
* I will not be offering a basket of goodies to my many millions (hundreds) of readers. You're on your own. Sorry.
1. Good shampoo. Stop using that drugstore crap. Aveda. Matrix, Keratase. Go.
2. Chocolate kisses. I always have them in the house. So basic.
3. Tory Burch patent leather flip flops. Your cuteness factor goes up by 1,000 percent if you do not wear rubber footwear.
Stop shopping for footwear at CVS. I am getting these in pink too.
4. Crest Whitestrips.
5. An iPhone. I have no more need for an alarm clock, a camera, a scattered music collection, a newspaper or seeing a friend in actual person. It's all right there. Genius.
6. This little pet fur remover thingie.
Also brilliant!
7. Lemon coconut cake from the Amphora Bakery in Herndon, VA
8. Opi Nail Polish in Sweetheart. Second choice: Bubble Bath
Sweetheart goes with everything
9. Tinted moisturizer. Bobbi Brown or Clinque Almost Makeup.
10. Wheat Thins. My go-to food. I have given up almost everything else, but not the fake wholesomeness of sugar crackers.
