“Here it goes” basically describes a lot in my life. From starting a new business, to trying new food, to meeting new people. It’s a great saying, isn’t it? It says – “I’ll try it and see where it takes me.” Not that I jump into things without thinking – I’m a big believer in analysis (I have a background in marketing research) but there should always be a hefty dose of “here it goes” to go with it.

So that is how I’m approaching this blog. I’ve just really started getting into blogs. I know, how “turn of the century” of me. But now that I’m into them, I love it! I love hearing people’s perspectives on so many topics. Some relate to business, others are more fun or personal. So I figured, why not? I’m rarely at a loss for things to say (…) so why not write some of them down? And if people read it, and even better COMMENT on it? How cool is that?

That brings me to why I chose today to start this blog. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile (see? the analyst in me) but just never found a good time. But I decided this was a good time, mainly for my own purposes. Why?

Well, I just started Nicholas Perricone’s 3 day “Nutritional Facelift” diet. For those of you who don’t know, Nicholas Perricone is a leading skin care expert and dermatologist. He has written numerous books on aging and how to combat it’s effects on your skin. Since I started Garden Girl natural skin care last year, http://www.gardengirlskincare.com, I have been reading everything I can about skin care. Nicholas Perricone is one of those “must reads”.

The book I’m reading currently is The Perricone Prescription. It is really interesting. In it he has a 28 day diet. Since the thought of that scares the bejeepers out of me, I decided instead I would opt for his 3 day diet. For the next few days, I’ll give you an idea of how it is going. BTW – I hoodwinked my husband into doing the diet with me. He was just falling asleep when he agreed to do it. He had no idea what he was getting into!
