You know, I’ve been in and out of keeping a journal all my life. I like the idea of spilling my guts to something but I just can’t seem to stick with it. That doesn’t stop me from buying endless amounts of blank journals, though. There’s something about a blank page. Maybe it’s the [...]

Whew! Just got back from four days at the Wizard World convention in Dallas. So many toys…so many beers…so much fun. We got to hang out with the boys from Palisades (you know, the ones who make those Muppet toys), talk with the editor of ToyFare (who was very attractive I might add!) and [...]

Mmm, I love soap. Especially handmade soap! I like to dabble a bit in the whole M&P (melt and pour) but making cold process soap is a bit scary to me. I think it’s the whole lye thing…we’ve all seen the effects of lye on Fight Club right? I think I’ll just leave that [...]

Alicia and I traded bags (my Loteria for one of her Las Flores) a while ago and [...]

Mmmm, don’t these look delicious? Alex over at Fashion Compassion (don’t you love the name!) makes and packages them to look like your favorite candy and mine…yummy peanut butter cups. I think they would look great in a “Spoil Yourself” gift basket: Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Soaps, Nutter-Butter Body Butter, and a cinnamon roll [...]

Check out the cards from Card Carrying Liberal…aren’t the wonderful! Half of all the profits go toward supporting progressive causes. Now that’s reason enough to send out holiday cards this year!

Have you seen Happy Lucky Me’s new site? It’s fabulous! As well as a new layout, she’s got some great new products like men’s tees and jewelry. Mmmm, if anyone wants to buy me the “Sushi Lover” silver necklace…I’ll love you forever! Anjali’s even stepping into the world of lipbalm. By the looks of [...]
