Cigarette? No thanks, I’ll take my
lipgloss
Kionna Comer
As
many may know, I am a make-up junky. I can, and often do, go through a tube of
M.A.C Lipglass, and then some, easily in one week, much like the average smoker
goes through a pack, or two, of cigarettes.
Now,
as weird as my “addiction” may seem, it was not always as bad as it is now. It
started slowly.
Before, I didn’t
need the M.A.C Lipglass, I only
wanted it and of course, I got it, because everyone knows Kionna gets what she
wants, when she wants it.
I’m only
kidding, I’m just trying to loosen you up.
By now, I know
that you are probably wondering where in the world this is going, but just
trust me and hang in there . . .
I am only trying
to relate and better “understand” this addiction that many of my friends,
relatives, teachers, co-workers and society as a whole, are battling.
But, for some
reason, I just don’t get it. Why would someone want to take part in something
that is killing more than 400,000 Americans each year?
Ms. Rholfs will
tell you that I am by no means a mathematician, but the last time I checked,
that’s a lot of people.
For those of you
who do not know, the "addiction" that I am referring to is
that nasty one that gives you bad breath and costs you an arm and a leg. Come
on, you all know that I am talking about puffing on those yucky cancer
sticks.
Now, before you
smokers try to mug me while walking to my car, hear me out!
What’s “cool”
about inhaling at least 69 distinct cancer causing chemicals? If someone out
there knows please let me in on the secret.
I only ask this
because, like me and my Lipglass - I never needed it. I only wanted it. So
in other words, when you started smoking, you didn't need it, so why did you
continue?
I realize that
everyone has their hang-ups, and I am by no means one to judge them, but I know
there has got to be a way around this one.
Call me crazy,
but my way around not smoking is my M.A.C Lipglass. Every time I am around
someone who is smoking I put on my Lipglass. The funny thing about
it, is I didn't even realize it until just recently.
So, I have a
challenge for every smoker (well, except the males - sorry boys you will
have to find your own way to quit), every time you feel like smoking, think of
this article and put on some Lipglass, because Lipglass never hurt anybody.
Plus I would
guarantee you that there are more positive options when choosing a Lipglass and
if you aren't like me and don't go through a new tube every week, you will
probably save some money, since you are no longer wasting them on cigarettes-
which you could use to buy more Lipglass, or whatever.
I know, it
sounds stupid but not as stupid as killing yourself over the want to smoke a
cigarette.
If that does not
work, find your own "Lipglass.”
