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?
Oscar and Golden Globe nominees over the past few years gotta “brag”, but you didn’t? Not sure what I am talking about? Like luggage for your bras and panties, The brag Company has developed Bra Bags and Panty Paks! This is a great gift to give your traveling friend that thought they had everything (then even have luggage tags) or your secret santa recipient that never saw it coming.
Of course you could even slip some SweetSpot single wipettes in the Panty Pak for an extra special gift. Our SweetSpot Labs distributor in New Zealand carries The Bra Bags too.
Happy shopping!

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:
· 2 slices of cucumber
· 2 frosted spoons
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.”
