Maria of Beauty Is Within stopped by Style IT to share her tv addiction secret.  We appreciate her honestly, because after all who doesn't have a few reality show guilty pleasures?

As much as I say that people watch too much reality TV and get caught up in celebrities‘ lives, I will make a confession that only 2 or 3 people in my life know…I watch reality TV shows and yes, I sometimes get vested into the lives of these people whose lives are full of drama.  There, I said it!  

Drama is something I stay away from in my life.  In fact, I’ll probably be the most laid-back, non-diva person you’ll meet.  However, I sometimes take pleasure in getting a glimpse into other people’s drama-filled lives.  Watching these shows is a gentle reminder that people we think “have it all” actually really don’t.   

I often take a peek here at StyleIT to read Sarah’s funny antics about The Hills or America’s Next Top Model.    As for me, well, I sometimes live vicariously through The Girls Next Door…Who wouldn’t want to have a hot body and party all the time?  Then I weep for the girls who get booted off The Bachelor knowing full well most of them go on the show just to get on TV and become an “actress”.  However, the two shows that I really got into - even so far as watching reruns - are Keeping Up With the Kardashians (I, like, can’t believe, like, those girls like saying “like” all the time…like) and Real Housewives of Orange County/New York City.  

I’m still trying to figure out why I like these shows.  Do you know why you watch certain shows?  

While browsing the cosmetics department today at Duane Reade, we stopped dead in our tracks.  In the a new collection display from L'Oreal sat the most perfect nail polish color we could imagine.  We'd dreamed of it before...a pinky/salmon creation...but we never thought we would find it.  L'Oreal bottled our dream, and named it 412 Salmon Sarong.

We first dreamed up this color after our obsession with all things grew from the Smashbox Masters Class Vol 2 set we purchased on impulse.  While browsing the plants for sale in Union Square on weekend, we stumbled upon the color in a flower, the nasturium.  The edible and fragrant flower currently sits on our backyard steps soaking up the Brooklyn sun.  

Once we made it home, we stripped off our current color (Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear in 13 Purple Potion).  Forgive the bad application in the photo, but we were too eager to share the miracle that is Salmon Sarong.  L'Oreal even offers a coordinating sheer lip gloss (we were too mesmerized by the polish to catch the name) that we managed to leave at the drugstore...for now.
