A Thousand Words Thursday

You know what they say about a picture...it's worth a thousand words.

Well....maybe not a thousand words, just one important one :) Happy holidays everyone!

Violent Lips

One of my amazing friends Pat gave me an earlier Christmas present a couple weeks ago. Violent Lips. These hot pink/white stars tattooed my pucker for a couple hours:) FUN!

So what are Violent Lips? They are temporary tattoos for your lips. Fun right? They were a little tricky to get on, and I had a little trouble keeping the bottom one on. I think that was because my bottom lip was too moist. It seemed  that the drier the lips were when you applied, the better they seemed to stay on. The top lip stayed on the whole night :) Violent Lips go on like any other temporary tattoo. Just place on your lips, moisten tattoo with a wet cloth, and that's it. They also easily come off with baby oil, just in case you are rethinking your Lady GaGa look :)

You can find tons of different colors, patterns and textures for almost any occasion. I am very excited to try them out again. Just waiting for a hot date night with the hubby or a night out with the girls. I don't think the cashier at Target would appreciate this lips as much as my hubby or girlfriends would. Think about flashing your own pair of Violent Lips during a New Year's Eve party :)

Here are my Violent Lips :) Only had a camera phone camera available when I put them on (thanks for the pic Pat!), so it might be hard to make out the stars on my lips...but they are there!
Below is a video all about Violent Lips and how they are applied :)  Enjoy!

Any words come to mind?

BzzAgent: About.me

BzzAgent Corey here, reporting on a new social media tool brought to you by about.me. All of your online content and profiles can be accessible from your unique about.me splash page. Your slash page builds a single online identity. Be it for personal use, or to create a professional on-line profile about.me will allow you to take all your scattered online profiles (like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and put them in one easy place.

The vidoe does a nice job explaining it all.


All about about.me from about.me on Vimeo.


Creating the account was easy. There are a ton of different settings and looks to work around with, but I just made a basic one quickly...taking about 10 minutes.

If this thing catches on, it would be usefully to be able to have all of your social media information in one spot.
However, I feel that some of the services about.me is offering, are already being offered by the big social networks. Twitter and Facebook allow you to link your accounts, and it's pretty easy to add an email, blog or facebook link to any business card or email you are sending out for networking purposes.
Unless this becomes a widely used service, I don't see this site being very useful for me.

However it is free, and the site claims that you can receive 50 free MOO business cards when you sign up. https://about.me/

BzzAgent: Fekkari

BzzAgent Corey here, reporting on a new product that was sent to me from BzzAgent.com :) My Fekkai BzzAgent kit arrived with a bottle of Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo & Conditioner.  I am always coloring my hair different, crazy colors, so I was excited to give this a try.  BzzAgent also sent me a couple samples of the Glossing cream. Those would work perfect for when I wear my hair straight. 

The Red Ring of Death

I bet all of you gamers out there are quivering over the title of this post. For you non-gamers out there, "The Red Ring of Death" refers to a broken Xbox. 

What should happen when you fire up your Xbox is this.









But lately, we have been seeing a lot of this.

An Apple A Day...

I have been using a lovely company this year called Ripe Organics. I have mentioned them a couple times on my Family Fresh Meals blog. They are a small, family owned and operated company that delivers organic produce to homes throughout the greater Chicago land area. All I can think about is the winter months quickly approaching, and how awesome it will be to have these beautiful organics delivered straight to my door. 

Happy Halloween!
