Welcome to my spot on the web.

This is my first foray into blogging since 2001. Yes, it's been about ten years but I say better late than never.  I may be rusty at first but I think I'll get the hang of this in no time at all.  What's the deal with this blog and is it another beauty blog because there are, like, over 200 on the web as it is?  Well, A Primped Life is a place that lets me express my love for beauty (makeup, skincare, hair, etc) but also general musings on fashion, film, television, literature, and the great NYC where I've lived for 10 years. Essentially it's a beauty/pop culture/food/homedecor/NYC tour guide blog with a dash of media and politics to boot. It's a hodgepodge of my various interests and general antidote for my insomnia.  If you're into any of these things this may be of interest to you. By no means am I an expert in any of these things but an overall enthusiast who really should be getting more sleep.
