Okay, I've actually just made a new playlist on my Ipod (can you believe I almost said "records", lol)! All that *jazz* aside, I'm in an oh-so-cool, breezy kind of mood lately! Is it all due to the fabulous new Fall scents that we've been testing out for the past couple of weeks? I'm quite sure that these warm and cozy new scents have inspired delightful thoughts of Hot Cocoa, snuggling-by-the-fire and relaxing in an extra-bubbly, bubble bath! Fall sure is fabulous but all that crisp air sure can take it's toll on a cool-weather-cutie's skin. Don't fret gal pals...we're working on some luscious new treats for even the driest LSB Girls! Think: Pumpkin Oil, Aloe &amp; Macadamia Nut Butters along with some other sweet skin-soothers! Enjoy the last week of August and happy sweater shopping!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-115642739549758806?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/115642739549758806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=115642739549758806' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/115642739549758806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/115642739549758806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2006/08/ive-got-world-on-string.html' title='I&apos;ve got the world on a string...'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-115356824973321916</id><published>2006-07-22T05:33:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-07-22T05:38:54.176-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Ice Cream Social</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/195293979/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/69/195293979_550c5214e0_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/195293979/"&gt;Scent Cookie&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Some of you LSB-lovelies have been asking just what the highly anticipated "Scent Cookie" (from July's gift with purchase) actually looks like! Well our gal pal Melanie (who just happens to be the creator of this terra cotta cutie) was sweet enough to send us this wonderful picture! Hmm, notice the delightful pink &amp; brown ribbon that makes hanging this sugar cone scented charm effortless and utterly adorable! Now you and your cherry-ride can both smell sweet-as-can-be.

Say what you will about the little blonde songstress but she definitely has spectacular taste! Which is why Little Shop of Beauty is happy to be the only beauty company featured in a new swag bag just for the illustrious Miss. Hilton. So what does one send to the gal that has everything, and then some? Well we figured that a girl can't go wrong with Nothin' on but the Radio" Liquid Body Powder, "Sweet Bliss" Butter-Creme and "You Were Never My Boyfriend" Mist You. So whether she's running around town or relaxing on a fabulous island retreat she'll smell and feel fabulous!

Yup, back at the end of 1999 (the turn of the century as it were) we created our first product. A luxurious and nurturing hand creme made completely from scratch! We experimented with the most luxurious oils and butters until we finally came up with that fabulous product that we all know and love. This is the same little sweetie that just happens to smell like deliciously fluffy marshmallows, or as my 20 month old niece likes to call them Mamows! Fitting, as she is the model for our brand new Marshmallow Hand Creme stickers! I can't think of anything that I love more than luscious marshmallows and my adorable baby niece. So this swanky new adornment is the perfect marriage of sweet and ...uh sweet!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-114614192535458344?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/114614192535458344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=114614192535458344' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/114614192535458344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/114614192535458344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2006/04/new-look-of-marshmallow.html' title='The new look of Marshmallow!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-114425327853266875</id><published>2006-04-05T10:07:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-04-05T10:07:58.600-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Got surf?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/123764298/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/34/123764298_27fc6030c7_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/123764298/"&gt;hulahottie&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Quickie post here about the new Hula Girl sale!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're celebrating the much-needed warm weather with a totally hula-licious sale!

Fresh baked chocolate cupcakes blended with pink sugar cookies and topped with vanilla frosting! A unique and super-sexy combination! Now this yummy scent is definitely a staff favorite and the LSB lovelies seem to be loving it as well! However this delightfully, decadent scent seems to be getting more attention than we at LSB could have even imagined. Recently we got an email from a fabulous customer letting us know that every single day last week she got at least 1 compliment on her charming aroma! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*And I quote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday~My boyfriend just about flipped when he smelled me! He doesn't like anything but this he says this is his favorite and that I should wear it at our wedding!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday~My boss and 2 of my co-workers mentioned that they loved my new perfume. My boss even asked me for the website so that he could get some for his wife!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday~Got my hair done and my hairdresser was swooning over it. I had the Mist You in my purse and she thought it was adorable. Now I know what I can get her for Christmas this year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday~My sister came over and spritzed herself with "my" new Mist You proclaiming that this was "her" new favorite scent! I wouldn't mind so much if she'd stop hogging my LSoB stuff everytime I get a new order!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday~Went out for dinner with some friends and my best friend's new boyfriend said something like "uuh, who smells so good in here?" He's cute too and he obviousely has good taste!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday~Hung out with the boyfriend again and he said that he could smell the perfume in my hair. Again he said he loved it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday~Well it looked like my streak was about to be broken as I didn't go anywhere on Sunday but we did get pizza delivered. Low and behold the pizza guy comes to the door and says "Have you been baking"? So it was a pretty cool week for me. I love the attention :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That came from Laura R. in Bellevue, WA...thanks for sharing Laura! And thanks for reading LSB girls.

Due to the tremendous success of the Marzipan Snowman Hand Creme last year, we decided to create this new sweet &amp; handy treat! This luxurious triple butter hand creme is enriched with emollient cocoa butter, lavish mango butter and soothing shea butter. Fresh honey helps to draw moisture into the skin and meadowfoam oil nourishes even the driest of hands. Butter Fingers smells like delicious buttercream cake and melts in to the skin just like the frosting on top. Sweet and indulgent for all skin types! This lovely little luxury is available as this months free gift right now and it will be available for purchase sometime in the next few weeks! We have lots of exciting new LSB goodies coming out over the next few months so make sure that you swing on by and take a peek.

Plus we're working on a fabulous new website that should make everything much more user friendly. I promise that we will also be updating the blog much more this year and I hope to even share some new product previews and possibly a sneak peak into the inner workings of LSB :) So please forgive me and please check back more often as I promise more fun and frequent updates!

I'm not an LV or Kate Spade girl though. I'm addicted to cute, unique, handmade bags. In fact I recently got an adorable but very small "envelope" type bag from a sweet designer named Kittybee. It's very thin though so I can only fit my ipod, wallet and cell phone comfortably. Where am I going with this you ask? Well I can't even fit my super-cute change purse in this bag, so I've been using a tiny ziplock to hold my coinage (a little embarrassing I know but it works). You would not believe how many compliments I keep getting on this thing!! "Oooh, what a cute coin purse" and "Where can I get one of those"? Uh, probably Safeway :) It's so funny; when I go out wearing some lovely new Zero 4 Marcy sweater nobody says a word but I carry my change in a baggy and all of a sudden I'm a fashion maven!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-112582183049283964?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/112582183049283964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=112582183049283964' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/112582183049283964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/112582183049283964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/09/stylish-coin-purse.html' title='Stylish Coin Purse?'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-112497387299387653</id><published>2005-08-25T06:44:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-08-25T06:44:33.013-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Banana Me Beautiful...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/37065296/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos23.flickr.com/37065296_7b67c363a2_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/37065296/"&gt;Banana Affair&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;These "almost edible" recipes were sent in by a great LSB gal pal named Kathryn!

No way!". I'm always telling my gal pals..."Do the honey trick. Your hair will thank you". They think I'm nuts! But you must believe me using honey on your hair as a rinse is one of the best tricks that I've ever found. It's especially great for dry/curly hair as it really helps to cut down  on the frizzies. So here's the idea...put 2 tablespoons of honey in a large cup and fill the cup up with warm water (I like to give it a quick stir to make sure that the honey isn't all sitting at the bottom of the cup). Then after washing and rinsing your hair like normal (but before conditioning), slowly pour the honey mixture over your hair. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then condition as usual. My hair always feels so silky and smooth now and it's a fab way to enhance your favorite conditioner. Have a sweet weekend gal pals!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-112444783172587219?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/112444783172587219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=112444783172587219' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/112444783172587219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/112444783172587219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/08/honey-your-hair-looks-marvelous.html' title='Honey, your hair looks marvelous!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-112419752839726097</id><published>2005-08-16T07:05:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-08-16T07:05:28.416-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Baby, it's cold outside!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/34509758/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos23.flickr.com/34509758_fc360a99aa_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/34509758/"&gt;Banff Christmas&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wow, I can't believe how cold it is here in the middle of August! Okay, it's not actually snowing (that's me in Banff last Christmas) but it feels like it could at any moment. However, that being said, I've been enjoying the most wonderful long baths and I've even pulled out the new fall scents (the ones that I shoved to the back of the cabinet last month). Great Pumpkins, Candied Caramel Apples, Spicy Cinnamon Buns and Fresh Sugar Cookies are just some of the  cozy scents that we will be blending to make up this years "cool-weather must haves"! Oh and over the weekend I delighted in my fist starbucks "Caramel Apple Cider"!

You must try an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse! I've been doing this for about 6 months now. This along with my LSB Au Lait Shampoo and Monoi &amp; Honey conditioner (which is brand new from LSB by the way) has really made a difference in the look and feel of my usually dry/dull hair. Here's the scoop:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Mix 1 teaspoon Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with 8-10 oz of warm water. Shampoo Hair as usual, then pour the mixture over the entire length of the hair (starting with the roots of course). Rinse really well and then apply your favorite conditioner. The ACV doesn't smell great but LSB conditioners do so your hair will still smell delish when the whole cycle is complete. I like to do this once a week as it really helps to clarify and add shine to my hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this little tip helps girls!

Our gal pal Amber submitted this yummy recipe for sweet Summer Terrine and we couldn't wait to give it a try. I'm very happy to report that this creamy treat is as tasty as it is refreshing. Just perfect for those warm, lazy afternoons (you know, the ones where you slather yourself in LSB Strawberry Lemonade Body Whip and unwind by the pool)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrine&lt;br /&gt;1 pint raspberry sorbet&lt;br /&gt;1 pint lemon sorbet&lt;br /&gt;1 pint vanilla ice cream&lt;br /&gt;1 pint mango sorbet&lt;br /&gt;1 pint boysenberry sorbet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compote&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup seedless blackberry jam&lt;br /&gt;2 teaspoons grated lemon peel&lt;br /&gt;1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice&lt;br /&gt;2 1/2-pint containers fresh blackberries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh mint leaves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For terrine:&lt;br /&gt;Line 9x5x2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap, extending 3 inches over sides. Scoop raspberry sorbet into medium bowl and stir to soften; let stand at room temperature until sorbet is spreadable, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Spread sorbet evenly in bottom of prepared loaf pan. Place loaf pan in freezer. Scoop lemon sorbet into another medium bowl; stir and let stand at room temperature until spreadable, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Spoon lemon sorbet in large dollops atop raspberry sorbet, then spread in even layer. Return loaf pan to freezer. Repeat procedure with vanilla ice cream, then mango sorbet, and finally boysenberry sorbet. Fold plastic wrap overhang over terrine; cover with aluminum foil. Freeze terrine overnight. (Terrine can be made 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For compote:&lt;br /&gt;Stir blackberry jam in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Stir in grated lemon peel and fresh lemon juice. Cool to room temperature. Stir in fresh blackberries, crushing some with fork to release juices. Refrigerate compote until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stir sliced fresh mint into blackberry compote. Invert terrine onto platter; peel off plastic wrap. Cut terrine into slices. Serve with blackberry compote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes 10 servings   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Amber!!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111891841017118017?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111891841017118017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111891841017118017' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111891841017118017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111891841017118017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/06/summer-terrine.html' title='Summer Terrine'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111753937021028906</id><published>2005-05-31T05:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-05-31T05:36:10.220-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Trippin' on Tiki Tuesday!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/16630605/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos11.flickr.com/16630605_259ae644a0_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/16630605/"&gt;Let's Go Trippin'&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dick Dale aka the "king of the surf guitar" invented surf music on this date in 1958! His first tune "let's Go Trippin'" was released before anything by the Beach Boys or Jan &amp; Dean and was the inspiration for the sixties surf music craze. Dale was never as commercially sucessful as his Hawthorne, California counterparts, but his love of surf, musical innovation, and his ability to capture the surging sounds of the ocean through his guitar make him a living legend! He still plays regularly so if he's ever in your neck of the woods make sure that you check it out.

We were really busy coming up with fabulously sweet, new summer treats for LSB! Make sure you check them out as these limited edition scents are only available until the end of June. On this fine Tiki Tuesday we will explore the misteries of that polynesian pick-me-up..Kava! Kava, touted as a miracle cure-all, is a root used by Polynesian Islanders. This tropical herb is said to help improve your mood, your memory and even it even helps you to become more tranquil. Now who couldn't use some of that? Kava is widely available in teas and powders. Hey, I think that you might even be able to throw a little in the punch bowl at your next Soiree! So until next week, don't work too hard...and don't forget to stop and smell the Pineapple!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111694339646845177?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111694339646845177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111694339646845177' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111694339646845177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111694339646845177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/05/tiki-tuesday_24.html' title='Tiki Tuesday!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111596587673736106</id><published>2005-05-13T00:31:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-05-13T00:31:16.753-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Pink Wink</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/13656674/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos11.flickr.com/13656674_c353a2ef44_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/13656674/"&gt;flamingo_3piece&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Light the torches and grab the tiny paper umbrellas...the weekend is finally here!

First, you need to find a place with long grass (like 15 inches). Look for unmowed fields, or roadsides. Usually, there's someplace to get high grass. Cut a whole bunch of it out, close to the ground. Next, get some heavy-duty, clear tape (like packing tape). Cut a big piece, big enough to go around your waist, and lay it flat (sticky side up!). Place the ends of the grass onto the tape. Get the idea? You can make your skirt even fancier by adding little flowers that will show through the clear tape. And if you stick a long ribbon or rope in there too, you'll have a waistband you can tie! Once all the grass and other goodies are in place on the tape, cut another piece of tape the same size and put it on top, so the sticky sides are together. That's it! Now all you have to do is learn how to hula (wink)! Have a wonderful week Exoticats!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111571540526799981?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111571540526799981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111571540526799981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111571540526799981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111571540526799981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/05/tiki-tuesday_10.html' title='Tiki Tuesday!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111511665444205552</id><published>2005-05-03T04:37:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-05-03T04:37:34.443-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Tiki Tuesday!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/12125357/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos9.flickr.com/12125357_b802d6b1b5_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/12125357/"&gt;Hu-Hula1&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Aloha, Tiki lovers!&lt;br /&gt;This gorgeous "Shag" painting of a Hula Girl has inspired me to find out a bit more about the beautiful and ancient ritual of the "Hula"!  This dance is a story told with the hands as well as the body. It symbolizes life, love and the ever-changing nature of the seasons! Ah but how does one do the Hula? Swaying hips, arms, fingers but most importantly the eyes and face are the key movers in Hula. It is practiced barefoot, and the simple left to right feet movement are of secondary importance. No plastic hoops or thrusting hips are involved in the authentic hula! So if you're feeling really adventurous grab your grass skirt, swipe on a dab of your "Surf Goddess" scent stick and give it a try! Don't have a grass skirt? Check back next week when I'll post simple (uh...we hope) "how to make a grass skirt" instructions. Until then relax in your gracious oasis and enjoy the sweet, Spring sunshine!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111511665444205552?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111511665444205552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111511665444205552' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111511665444205552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111511665444205552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/05/tiki-tuesday.html' title='Tiki Tuesday!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111477626875149475</id><published>2005-04-29T06:04:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-29T06:04:28.750-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Voila...it's Poire!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/11451078/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos7.flickr.com/11451078_afff7b7b1d_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/11451078/"&gt;poire_pink_with_buttons_s&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Created in Japan, Poire (French for pear) Phone Pouches come in lots of colors and patterns and are being spotted on belts, purses, jackets and pockets all around the world.

Now you can have your Chocolate and eat it to! According to new studies the antioxidants found in chocolate can not only make you feel better it can make you live longer as well! Harvard researchers tracked nearly 8,000 males, with an average age of 65. Those men who enjoyed chocolate and candy lived almost a year longer than those who did not. Those who ate one to three candy bars per month had a 36 percent lower risk of death (compared to the people who ate no candy), while those who ate three or more candy bars per week had a 16 percent lower risk. Wow, chocolate lovers rejoice! And if you want a guilt-free Chocolate fix make sure that you check out LSB's Chocolaterie Scrub and Lip Butter! Both smell just like the real thing and are enriched with sumptuous Bernard Callebaut Chocolate...what a sweet-treat!!&lt;br /&gt;http://www.lsbstore.com&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111459923277416737?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111459923277416737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111459923277416737' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111459923277416737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111459923277416737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/04/chocoholics-rejoice.html' title='Chocoholics Rejoice!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111451631060372429</id><published>2005-04-26T05:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-26T05:53:19.396-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Tiki Tuesday!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/10070936/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos6.flickr.com/10070936_2de538a0cc_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/10070936/"&gt;Tiki Temptress&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Happy Tiki-Tuesday everyone!&lt;br /&gt;In my celebration of everything Polynesian I'm trying to pick up a bit of Hawaiian!

She's in our minds forever!"&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111417343818780935?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111417343818780935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111417343818780935' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111417343818780935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111417343818780935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/04/happy-birthday-bettie_111417343818780935.html' title='Happy Birthday, Bettie!'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111389641468116809</id><published>2005-04-19T01:40:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-19T01:40:14.680-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Tiki Tuesday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/9884637/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos6.flickr.com/9884637_53e6c02c1c_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/9884637/"&gt;Tiki Girl&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hi gal pals!&lt;br /&gt;I hope that you all had a fabulous weekend! Every Tuesday, for the summer months, I want to post little tidbits of Tiki tips and trivia. What a fun and whimsical way to start the week! So here's something fun: Luaus (the word is taken from the name of the baked tops of tarot~which is the root used to make poi) are celebrations of life and living. The focus is on togetherness so a Luau is great chance to get together with family, friends, or even that Hawaiian Hunny that you've had your eye on for the past few months! Luaus are a reason to celebrate any given day so don't delay; invite your pals over for a Polynesian shindig today! Oh and...pass the Poi!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12190848-111389641468116809?l=lsbmaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/feeds/111389641468116809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12190848&amp;postID=111389641468116809' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111389641468116809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12190848/posts/default/111389641468116809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lsbmaven.blogspot.com/2005/04/tiki-tuesday_111389641468116809.html' title='Tiki Tuesday'/><author><name>Michelle~lsbmaven</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17585162707604026146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/19/115215134_516d0f3f42_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190848.post-111356045644671265</id><published>2005-04-15T04:20:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-15T04:24:52.013-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Blue Hawaiian...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/9466828/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos4.flickr.com/9466828_cf71d2a488_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62349037@N00/9466828/"&gt;pinupcocktail&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62349037@N00/"&gt;lsbmaven&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We will be launching our highly aniticipated "Tiki" line next week and in anticipation I wanted to post the Blue Hawaiian Cocktail recipe that inspired our "almost famous" new beauty wash!
