sweet kisses

Have I mentioned how much I love all of your comments and emails? I so appreciate everyone who reads and leaves me little notes. I try really hard to get around to every one's blog and post comments. I just wanted everyone to know that you guys are the best!!

Tonight's Spoonful is for your lips. I am obsessed with Burt's Bees lip balm. However, I'm finding that in the midst of my sassy earring phase, I'm wanting some color on my lips. I don't do gloss (too sticky) and I don't do lipstick (too much color). I think I look weird when the tint is too strong. I have so many "tried and failed" tinted lip balms that it's not even funny. I'm to the point where I'm scared to waste my money anymore. But today I searched, out of curiosity (which killed the cat, BTW) on Etsy. I found a lot, but after much deliberation (because we all know how much I like to shop), I chose this 3-pack from Laughing Leaf Farm.

The colors look perfect, plus you get 3 for a very good price! That way if one doesn't work, I have two more chances! This could restore my faith in tinted lip balm :) And it's on sale. It would have to be on sale. I LOVE sales. I haven't bought anything yet, so I don't want to ruin it. But this is a good price. And I need it. Ok well, maybe I don't exactly need it. But still. If want gets bad enough it turns into need, right? No? Ok. Does anyone want a handmade personal shopper? Cause I would so find you exactly what you need. I'd get my shopping fix and you wouldn't have to sort through the millions of products out there. Wouldn't that be fantastic???

The buying willpower is wavering. If I get the lip balm, I'll have to get the bath bombs. Because seriously, who puts $6 on their credit card? I'd need something else to even make it worth it. Right? No again? *sigh*

lips like sugar, sugar kisses

Bonus points if you can tell me what song my title is from. Although, I'm not sure how you can get bonus points if you're not getting regular points...Oh well. It sounds good.

My Spoonful today is something that I bought last night and am anxiously waiting the completion and arrival of. Ok, so I bought 3 of them. It's the most gorgeous wire wrapped ring! I decided I needed something to replace my wedding rings cause my finger looked and felt naked and conspicuous. So I went on a ring hunt. It went on for days. It was grueling. I have teeny tiny hands and skinny fingers (size 5), so anything too big looks really bad on me. Like I'm a kid playing dress-up. I only wear silver. I don't ever change my jewelry, so it had to be something I could wear with everything. Overall, I'm just super picky. And really people, I wore a sizable diamond for the last 4 years. Whatever replaces it needs to have pizazz.

Anyway, I bought this ring in the color in the pic, pink/brown, and all silver. She was tons of fun to work with. She even pretended I was funny! Talk about bonus points :) It took a matter of an hour writing back and forth to figure out the colors I wanted and have her post the listing for me. Super quick. And I can afford to buy 3 because she asks such reasonable prices for her stuff!


You can see the rest of her gorgeous shop at Holmes Craft. She has such a great selection.

And now I really must get in the shower and hit the road. It's not a long drive to A&M, but it's still a drive.
