Okay, so I'll admit that there was a time in my life a couple years ago, around when this book came out, that I ate a lot of salmon. Like, probably enough to get mercury poisoning. Thankfully, I avoided that cruel fate. What I did get was glowing skin, although, like all trendy fad diets--alas even for the trade-off of looking totally fucking gorgerina--I eventually had to start eating red meat and mashed potatoes again. But as all lazy girls do, I think I found a shortcut.

The Perricone PEP, or Polysaccharide Peptide Blend, is a mix of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that claim to provide anti-aging benefits in addition to nutritional ones. I've been taking one scoop mixed with water every morning for the past week, and even though I'm not gonna lie to you--the shiz tastes weird and even bears a strange resemblance to Cream of Wheat--I think my skin looks better. And if not, well at least it's having some cool placebo effect.

Of course, some of you know that I was also taking this old Boots pony last week, but I only made it to day two before I decided it really does resemble a yucko Jolly Rancher and I threw in the towel. Whatevs.
