Threadbangers and Lip Balm with some Music and Books for Spice

"World's Best Lip Balm" and I agree! Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer is amazing. I am not a lip gloss wearer but since this glistens like gloss but wears like lipstick I was willing to give it a try. I bought Champagne since I wasn't looking for a lot of color and love it, buying more even today. The color is great, the balm moisturizes and there is even a tingle of peppermint oil that makes my friends and I smile every time we put it on.

Music
I grabbed a CD today, The Lonely Hearts’ album Paper Tapes. Cool album cover with neat-o vintage font caught my eye initially then the fact that they had a song called Mermaid. I dunno why it is but I’m a sucker for songs titles Mermaid or having to do with Mermaids. Having said this I only know of one other song having to do with mermaids and it’s by Jimmy Hendrix. So far the CD is sorta soft-core alternative with the vocals of Coldplay. I haven’t decided if I like it yet.

Books
Discovered Melody Carlson’s new book today; A Not-So Simple Life, book one of Diary of a Teenage Girl series. I know I know, it sounds a lil Lifetime/Family Channel but after reading the back and page one where I was informed that this bi-racial daughter of an 80’s star making a come back and a swank shop-aholic just finds out she had an aunt and the aunt dies, I was sorta hooked. I love dysfunct, I crave it just as much as Lisa Samson’s Scotty (Hollywood Nobody) craves and thrives on the normal. Speaking of my beloved Nobody! I just got my hands on Finding Hollywood Nobody today and outside of blogging and talking to DC (who I am missing like mad) I am reading it voraciously. Thank you God for putting me in Family Christian Stores when these babies were being stocked!

I found a great lil How-To video through StumbleUpon [ here ]. How would you like to learn how to make a Sweeney Todd Dress with cheap?! I know I would! I’m so trying this out! Plus, the group that puts these videos together are called Threadbanger, how cute/cool is that!?
