Doppel what? Doppel who? Doppelganger!

So this week, everyone is posting a picture of their celebrity look-alikes or "doppelganger" as their default on Facebook. I was seriously getting depressed because I don't think I resemble anyone famous...nor has anyone said I looked like anybody else. Well....except when I was in the 6th grade and everyone was saying who they thought everyone looked like and someone said I looked like Samantha from "California Dreams" just because I was "Chinese". Growing up, EVERYONE thought I was Chinese. Whenever I tried to correct them they'd say: "What's a Fil...Filipino??" It was so frustrating! My Dad was in the Navy when I was younger so we moved around a lot. When we moved to Vallejo when I was 13, I was actually astounded that people knew what a Filipino was. And now they're everywhere! Hahaha. Anyway!
Do you know what the true meaning of a "doppelganger" is? Wikipedia, if you please!

"A doppelganger is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelganger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelganger is an omen of death."

Pretty spooky, eh? I love it! Anyway, I just thought I'd share what the true meaning of doppelganger was. My sister said I could be Ariel, the Little Mermaid (if I was a redhead!) since I'm obsessed with mermaids or "sirenas" if you well. My favorite movie of all time is Disney's "The Little Mermaid". Oh and we're going to see San Francisco Ballet's version in March! I'm so excited because they are basing their version on the darker, more mature themes of the story.

I think I'm going to do a "January favorites" video tomorrow night while my husband is off with his friends watching the UFC fight. I have so many new products I used last month! Not just beauty.....I also have some fun stuff I bought for Barrett that I love...and some cleaning products! (My cinnamon bathroom is sparkly white again, by the way!) I think the kiddies will be hungry for lunch in a little bit so c'est tout pour maintenant! Au revoir mes amis!

P.S. I am prone to speak "franglais" or "frenglish" from time to time. Haha! =)
