Make a Statement with your Lips

by Amanda Paige

Now, watch what you say.  I am not talking about making a statement with your voice, I am talking about making a statement with your lips this holiday.  I actually saw this on the news last night, it is called Violent Lips tattoos for your lips!  (This is the part where you kick yourself because you didn’t think ot it!)  Don’t feel too bad, even though the girl in the video is only 14 years old and co-creator, her dad is the Manager for the Pussycat Dolls.

If  you don’t already have them you are so yesterday, because everyone in Hollywood is already wearing them!  Geez, where have I been? Well you can still be the hippest in your town this holiday, just be the first to run out to Sephora and quickly apply before your next party!  I think this would make a great stocking stuffer too, don’t you?

SweetSpot’s here to stay, but newspaper nail art….

by Amanda Paige

Sometimes fads have about a weekend of fame and then something else takes it place.  Well that is definitely not the case with SweetSpot Labs products.  They are much like toothpaste, something you just can’t live without!  But I did find something that is getting its 10 minutes in the spotlight and I thought you might like to try it out this weekend…newspaper nail art.

My nail salon recently posted a picture of this new nail art and I thought I would check into it a little more and share it with you since you liked my last tip so much.  The video below is a quick easy tutorial, but I have seen several ways to accomplish this look.  One thing I have yet to see is someone looking for specific words or using the Sunday comics or movie showtimes.  (Please note the words will appear backwards).

So get creative and let us know how it goes!

Learn Something New Everyday

With the iPhone fact app. you can literally learn something new every minute!  Sometimes you can learn so much that it is hard to remember them all.  But this fact I remembered and had to share.  According to the fact app. the stall closest to the entrance of a public bathroom is the cleanest because it is the least used. That makes sense, right? Well apparently I am not the only one pondering this because Leslie @ Sharp Stick in the Eyes brought up the same conversation.  It is a pretty funny read.

For women there is really only one time when you like the lid up on your toilet seat and that is when you have just gone into a public restroom, you think ”Yes, a clean stall!” Is it really clean though or did they just squirt in cleanser, flush and go like a blogger suggested?  Hmmm, guess we will never know unless we spy on them.

My mom and son are the types though that would rather hold it all day then use a public restroom.  They would probably like the Sit or Squat app., at least they would know how clean the restrooms are before they even go in.  There is probably someone out there right now like those secret shoppers that is going around reviewing bathrooms.  Next time when you are “Checking In” on Facebook, be sure to go review the bathroom for Sit or Squat.  Let’s clean up the planet, one bathroom at a time.  After all, according to Wiki’s Answers.com an average person spends 10920 minutes per year in there.

Here are some relaxing tips to make your morning after a little more bearable:

1. Arizona Spa Girl says “This is the one to go for when you just had to dance until 3 a.m., regardless of your 9 a.m. breakfast date with mom. We understand and we are here to serve you with this quick and easy fix.” Here’s what you need:

· 2 slices of cucumber

· 2 frosted spoons

Here’s what you do:

Put two teaspoons or slices of cucumber in the freezer for 15 minutes. Place the frosted spoons or the cucumber slices on your eyelids and relax for ten minutes.

2. Melissa Aden an ethnic restaurant examiner says “Whether you are a water hater and need to add flavor in order to drink the stuff, trying to kick your soda habit, or just looking for a refreshing alternative to regular water, Mint Cucumber Water is an easy and inexpensive twist on simple H20.

I have served Cucumber Mint Water at many a get-together and dinner party, and it always receives rave reviews. Let this crisp, fresh drink make you look like a genius in the kitchen, and cool your brow in these hot summer months.”

Ingredients:
Plenty of ice cubes
1 gallon chilled water (purified water preferred)
1 medium cucumber
10 fresh
mint leaves, rinsed

Directions:
1. Thin slice cucumber
2. Place cucumber slices in pitcher, punch bowl, or beverage jar
3. Slightly muddle or cut
mint leaves to release flavor and place in serving container of choice
4. Add water and ice cubes
5. Stir mixture and let sit in refrigerator for four to eight hours to allow flavors to infuse into water
6. Mixture will last up to three days. Discard mixture once cucumber slices or mint starts to look slimy.

  1. When all else fails grab your SweetSpot Labs on-the-go wipettes in basil grapefruit for a quick pick-me-upper. Not content to merely cleanse, they help your body’s natural powers do their best to keep you fresh when you’re feeling otherwise. It’s simply spot sweet!
