World According to Shia

So I've done one of these posts in the past   and thought it was time for an update. So here is what is currently in my bag..... A) My notebook...this is where all of World According to Shia posts begin! B) Print outs from online magazines...article topics I am considering. C) A piece of confetti from Marissa's birthday party...why? No idea!! D) CLA supplements ~ I'm doing Weight Watchers and I have to have oil as part of my Healthy Guidelines and apparently Dr. Oz has announced that safflower oil helps block fat absorption and helps you burn stored fat...well you know me...I did some research and found out that it also helps with lean muscle mass.  So off to wholefoods I went...CLA supplements are made from safflower oil but they have the necessary ingredients to help you absorb the supplement and not just pass through your system like the safflower oil would. E) Bread tie?  Nah...this was around my ipod headphones so I still win...

So the Birkin Bag...it is the holy grail of handbags...every woman wants one?...but can you really get one? and why do celebrities have so many? Well we've all heard of the 6 year waiting list and I just saw an article on the Huffington Post stating that there is a 2 year waiting period.  So which one is it?   Well according to Michael Tonello, who wrote a tell all book " Bringing Home the Birkin " says that he found the secret.  Apparently if you walk off the street into Hermes and ask to buy a Birkin, you are going to be told...I'm sorry..there's a waiting list...blah blah blah.  BUT if you walk in wearing a Hermes scarf, Hermes jewelry and carrying a Hermes tote and then you decide to buy more of their smaller items...chances are you are walking out with a Birkin.  Tonello said that he would see salespeople walk up to customers that were purchasing multiple items and tell them that they had an extra on site...someone was on the wait...
