I forget that I have a blog a lot. Or I remember and then forget to use it. Same thing I suppose. I like to tell myself I AM TOO BUSY BEING AWESOME AND INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE AND INSPIRED TO WRITE ABOUT MY WEEKEND. Maybe in reality, I am sitting on the couch, glass of wine in hand and watching Duck Dynasty. SO WHAT. I guess I feel that documenting things to the tiniest detail for your readers takes the fun out of things you are actually DOING to a certain extent? maybe it’s just how my mind works and I am overthinking as usual. maybe I have to try to collect rather than organize my thoughts immediately. Jumble it all into a post saying what I did. It seems like a lot for me to keep track of. But I do read posts like that, and I think there is a certain voyeuristic quality to all of us-we like to see how others spend their time and money and lives. I like Instagram. There’s no fuss, only images. I know that’s why I like Twitter better than Facebook, it’s conversation and stimulation over LOOK MY KID WENT TO THE DENTIST posts. I dunno. There’s something weird in the air lately, everyone seems super defensive, time is going too fast and I suddenly find myself wondering where hours went. Memorial Day weekend is a blur and I can honestly say that it doesn’t even feel like summer. The yard is done, the garden is planted and the heat has arrived. Maybe when I make my way up to Vermilion for the first time of the year Summer will finally hit me.

Hope everyone has a great week and I’ll try my hardest to make better use of my blog. It is on one of my many to do lists.

be well.

I used to love the band Something Corporate. I had completely forgotten about them until I was listening to my Straylight Run channel on Pandora. It was a total rediscovery. Are they mildly cheesy? Sure. Do I have any shame of my love for pop punk? NOT A DROP. :) I don’t think they are active anymore, I could be wrong, but below are a few of my favorites from the band. Andrew McMahon’s Other band Jack’s Mannequin didn’t exactly do too shabby either. Love them. PS, Straylight Run is also worth a listen!

We all have those moments that require major WOW factor. And if you love a pop of something fierce, Violent Lips may be just what you need. I was sent a few samples of the product and these temporary lip appliques are sheer FUN. While I don’t think they’d go over great at the office, I have a hunch that they will be a smash hit at an upcoming local burlesque show that is being produced by one of my very bests at the House of Blues in Cleveland on May 18th.These temporary lip tattoos are an instant head turner, conversation starter or great accessory for some major POP. Halloween, dress up or even a night out, Violent Lips will be sure to add a dash of fun. The application process for the Violent Lips is a bit lengthy, with nine steps to follow that does not count removal, but the brand does offer a tutorial video and plenty of more styles and information over at www.violentlips.com!!

Disclosure: I was provided these products in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
