UPDATE: Ok I am a world-class jackass I am only now realizing (thanks to your comments) that this is not meant to be used in the shower. DUH! This is my first experience with a massage bar, so color me ignorant (and there were no instructions so I made assumptions). Basically then this post is useless and I need to try it again outside the shower.

Monday Monday, can’t trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how could you leave and not take me…

Oh sorry, just a little The Mamas and the Papas there for ya.

Ever feel super sleep and like you just cannot wake up on a dreary, cold Monday morning like today in the Bay? Well I think LUSH’s Hottie Massage Bar might help wake you up!

This heavy little bar is infused with black pepper oil, ginger oils and vanilla. While that may sound like some kind of food seasoning the black pepper oil supposedly helps to get your circulation going and helps aching muscles. The vanilla just smells good.

Now this bar doesn’t really smell like the typical vanilla, it’s definitely strong and takes a bit getting used to. It’s a spicy vanilla.

Also you notice one side has bumps all over it, hence the name massage bar. Continue reading »

I’m one of those people that can be described as a chameleon. I change the way I look pretty much every 2-3 months and have since my teens. I change my makeup style, hair style, length and color, and even the way I dress constantly. I cannot tell you how many times someone has said to me “Oh I didn’t recognize you” and I kinda like it that way If you asked me what my style was I would say “ever changing”.

Maybe it’s because I’m a Gemini (we get bored easily) or maybe it’s just because I am never satisfied. Whatever my reason is for wanting to look different, it’s been a fun (and sometimes expensive) adventure and I think it will probably continue until the day I drop dead!

Also try to note how much better the camera quality gets (for the most part) as the years go by, it’s kinda cool.

Finger Paints new spring 2011 collection is called Palette of Petals and it looks like a bright creme filled collection.

The names are a little…odd and some don’t make sense to me, but there you have it.

Chewy is fast asleep here in what you would think is a very uncomfortable place. On a plastic table (next to my light tent) on top of some brochures and a crumpled up towel which is on top of the metal bottom of one of my lamps. But hey, it’s in the sun

Revlon has been catching my eye lately with some of their new products. It seems they are not only creating new colors, but also updating their packaging which is a great thing in my book. Will they update their nail polish bottle shapes soon? One can only hope

Perusing a Bed Bath and Beyond near me, which recently added a makeup area much to my surprise, I came across these new Colorburst Lipglosses and couldn’t pass them up.

They have about 15 colors now ranging from nude to deep red to pink to brown.

These claim to “make lips pop with 5x more shine than patent leather”. I can tell you that isn’t true, but they are shiny!

These glosses are very unsticky, and they feel very moisturizing. The wear time is pretty great, I wore Hot Pink the other day for about 4 hours and had pretty much no fading at all!
