Oprah’s done a number of wonderful and fantastic things for women in America. I remember watching her show as a youngster, thinking “Wow, she’s going somewhere!” And now, she IS somewhere, as an icon in the media world. She brought book groups and reading back to the countryside, as well as personal development. Her focus on personal development, both emotionally and physically has helped women accept who they are, and grow to be better.

But I tell you – when she promotes products, I think she forgets that the average American woman does not have deep pockets (or get free products to test). I was looking through June’s Beauty Products, and was absolutely floored when I saw a $28 lip stain, $78 body oil, and $175 perfume. Buying those three products costs more than a month’s worth of groceries for me – and probably at least 1 week’s worth for a family of 4. In this economic time, I still believe in the power of mampering yourself, but $45 lipstick goes beyond pampering.
