Confession time: I drink upwards of three cans of Diet Coke a day. I sometimes pick the dry skin on my feet and fling the pieces into my heater vent. Occasionally I floss with strands of my own hair. I still watch “Survivor.” But my real secret shame? I am kind of obsessed with looking at pictures of celebrity engagement rings, some of them you can find at luxurydiamonds.ca.
