Guys! I have to tell you, this stuff is a literal, real life, modern day, freakin' miracle. I swear to the god I don't believe in, freakin' miracle.
Here are just a few of the situations that Lemony Flutter has saved me.
Blisters. Walking all day in uncomfortable shoes. Slap some of that yellow stuff on their, a pair of socks before bed and in the morning my blisters had improved so. freakin'. much. Holy McJesus, I am in love.
Burns. About 10 minutes ago, I burned myself (accidental, of course) on a hot oven tray thing. Cold water, then some Lemony Flutter, ice, and that sucker is soooo much better now. It's about half the size and a whole lot less painful.
Note: This is compared to what I usually do: cold water and ice. That doesn't even compare to the lemony flutter goodness.
...That's about it, other than the stuff I listed in my previous post
| | | (down there!)
V V V
But I'd say healing blisters, burns and all that other stuff is good enough to be classified as a miracle.
Don't agree with me? Perhaps comment, maybe?

Ooh I went to Lush (again)
Yes, that's right, I went to lush, again. The people now officially know me. You have no idea how exciting that is for me. I was pretty much squeeling like a little girl when the sales lady called me a "Lushie".
So, I bought Lemony Flutter and Retread conditioner.
First of all, ahhh! Retread! I've been waiting all week for them to get more in stock so I can try it! I'm so excited!
Okay, I'll quiet down now and get to the reviews now...
Lemony Flutter
Two words: Freakin. Awesome.
More words: I love it, makes my dry hands lovely and soft. It has heaps of uses, I shall list
1. hand cream (doi)
2. hair pomade (I wouldn't have thought of that, but it works surprisingly well)
3. lip balm? Apparently it doesn't taste that bad. That's always reassuring.
4. all over cream/balm for dry or rough skin
5. Like that stick thing by Bandaid for when you wear shoes that rub, I can't remember what it's called, something like Blister stick. Well, it works for preventing blisters.
6. eczema treatment
Look at that! And only for $15.95 (Australian moneys)
It smells really good too, but if you're not into lemon, it's definitely not for you.
It's pretty oily after you put it on (good for my dry skin) so don't put too much on, a little goes a long way.
I soo recommend this.
Retread
Also love it! Soooo good for my dry hair. Makes it super soft and allover lovely.
Smells good, like Go Green body spray. Some people don't like it, but I love it!
I don't like the tub, though. You really don't want to get any water into any Lush products, since they don't have any preservatives the water can get bacteria in there. And it's especially hard when I have to reach out of the shower to dry my hands unscrew the lid, scoop out some conditioner and screw the lid back on with one hand. It's still awesome, anyway.
Well, I'm gonna go sleep.
Laterz my fellow Lushies.

Bear Grylls, I love you, but seriously, what is wrong with you?
I love Bear Grylls, even if he is a crazy guy who eats bugs.
But sometimes...he doesn't. Make. Any. Sense.
He tells you about how dangerous this snake he just found is. So he pokes it with a stick. Totally logical, I'm definitely seeing the thinking that's going into this, Bear.
He does really gross things and doesn't get even a little grossed out.
*cough cough* inside out sheep sleeping bag *cough!* Yeah, it's exactly what you're thinking, and it's gross.
He manages to get shirtless in every episode, even when it's flippin' snowing. I really don't get his logic, but I would never think of all those survival things, like eating caterpillars wouldn't have crossed my mind, I would have gone for something bigger...like a bear
He seems to hardly drink anything, yet he eats heaps of weird things.
I'm always thinking whenever I watch Man vs Wild 'How are the camera crew getting across?' Where do they sleep? He only ever makes a one man shelter...
How is he so fit? It seems

Learning Japanese
Hey guys,
For the past...*counts on fingers* 3 and a half years I've been learning Japanese (seems like more...) and I'm still pretty crap, BUT! The government (Yay Kevin!) has payed for all the Japanese students at my school from years 8-10 (I think) to get accounts on Language Perfect. It is the best freakin' website ever.
It's pretty much a repetition game sort of thing, but it also adds in the competition of everyone else in my class to see who can get the most points (You get points by getting words right in the tests...hard to explain). Pretty much, it either says the Japanese word or it shows it on the screen and you type in the English meaning. It works amazingly well.
Here's the link, anyone learning a language should definitely go on. They have Chinese, German, French, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Latin, Maori, Spanish and Japanese.

Lush! Ah!
So, I went to Lush on Sunday. It was great. I love Lush.
I got two things I haven't tried before: New! shampoo bar and Grass shower gel.
I love them both. Review time!
1. New!
First I have to say, it smells so freakin' good. Cinnamon-y goodness, delicious.
It lathers really nicely, feels smooth...sort of, if that makes sense...
Maybe a little drying, but just a little, more like really cleansing. I have fairly dry hair and usually it feels pretty dry after I use shampoo (hard to run my fingers through it kind of thing) but this felt different, literally "squeaky clean" but not as hard to run my fingers through it.
I bet this doesn't make any sense...Take away the drying part, it makes my hair feel really clean, but it doesn't condition as much as something like Godiva (another Lush shampoo bar), but that would be because it's a shampoo...
I am making no sense today.
Anyway, I like it. I don't like the poofiness that Godiva gives me, so this is good.
I'll probably use this some days and use Cynthia Sylvia Stout on other days.
2. Grass
It smells like grass, really really smells like grass. It smells more like grass than actual grass smells like grass (in a good way). It's sort of like very slightly sweet freshly mowed grass.
I haven't really used it much, because I've been more into citrusy smells lately (Whoosh!), but I still love it.
It lathers pretty well, except you have to use the right kind of shower poof...I got one from the body shop aaaaages ago (I should probably get rid of it) and that thing doesn't lather at all. Even with things that usually lather so nicely! I got a new one recently and it works way better. So, yeah, get a good shower poof...(I'm so strange)
Definitely recommend going into the shop and smelling it, you can even smell it over all the other smells.
Anywho! Enough of my word vomit. I love Grass. I love New. 'Nuff said.

"Is that a banana in your coffee, or are you just happy to see me?"
バナナ！
I'm not really sure how it happened, but I stumbled upon this hilarious and thought provoking blog. It's called "Putting Weird Things in Coffee"
I think the name says it all, really...
But I'll tell you about it anyway!
So, my two favourite posts are where they put a donut in coffee (and blend it) and where they put a banana in coffee (blend again)
It's literally 'rolling on the floor laughing' funny. I dunno, maybe it's just my sick sense of humour (I enjoy sarcasm and other strange jokes) but I was struggling not to drop my laptop and roll around on my couch, holding my side, crying...*awkward pause*
I'll tell you about the banana coffee as I nearly fell over laughing at the first line ^^^
(Links at the bottom)
Anywho! Pretty much they put a banana, chocolate powder, sugar and coffee, in a blender.
There's great pictures of the blending and end product and then they tell you about how it tasted, etc.
Turns out that bananas and coffee don't mix, surprisingly. But I really want to try blending a donut into my coffee (copfee)
Copfee (donut coffee): http://puttingweirdthingsincoffee.com/2010/05/27/copfee-donut-coffee/
Banana coffee (I love the first line): http://puttingweirdthingsincoffee.com/2009/07/06/banana-mocha/
So I hope you guys check out that blog. Sooo funny.
Ranting about product reviews...Enjoy!
Ahhh, I hate it when people review a product and say it's "expensive". That really annoys me, it should really be that something is expensive to you or it's expensive because...
If something is expensive it's usually because they use good ingredients or because it works (or in some cases because it's from a high end brand, but they're usually high end cause their products work). Gah, its personal opinion.
I wouldn't say that $30 for a bottle of argan oil is expensive, because it works insanely well and the bottle lasts ages. But it still might be considered expensive to some people, because they're not all that fussed about their hair.
Another thing is face products and being expensive, same thing as above, ingredients, they work, blah blah.
Like, sure, if I found a cleanser that didn't irritate my skin and did all the things that aquamarina (lush) does for $4, then I would be excited (but I still wouldn't buy it because I'm very loyal to my lush). I hate how people say it's expensive; it's your face, you kind of need it, doesn't that make it worth it?
I don't care if people don't care about what they use on their skin or whatever, but I do care if they go on about how it's so much more pricey than the cheap drugstore stuff. There's a reason it cost more!
Gawd, now I'm on a roll.
Also, people that think you can only use one product and your skin/hair/whatever will be all lovely like the airbrushed models. I hate reading reviews that they didn't like a shampoo because they had to condition their hair afterwards. I always think 'what?! Do you not usually condition your hair?'
and same goes for cleansers that you have to use a moisturiser after, yes, you don't want one that dries out your skin, but you still have to moisturise!
Ah, people annoy me.
P.s. My review of Moroccan argan oil seems to have vanished, so I will re-review that soon.

iPad? Wut?
AHHH! I got an iPad! AHHHHHH! *excited running around in circles*
Ahhh! It's so pretty and smooth. I haven't been this excited in ages!
GAAAH! iPad!
So, you know what the first thing I thought when I went on the apple website to stare longingly at the beautiful piece of metal? (other than "AHHH! iPad!")
It was '...What? Why would anyone get Windows on an iPad? Why is that even possible? That's just not right!' I'm not sure why, but getting Windows on an iPad seems so completely wrong, like I want to stab anyone who does it. What is wrong with them?
It's against nature. It's against everything I believe in.
Now, I'm all fine and dandy about Windows on Macbooks or whatever (Well, maybe not fine and dandy...) But seriously, man, it's just wrong.
Anywho, back to iPad fantasies.
Last week, I was sitting eating Sumo Salad (I freakin love Sumo Salad) with my friend and these two businessy type men sit next to us. We ignore them, of course, when businessy man number 1 whips out this little silver thing. I think nothing of it...lots of things are silver. When suddenly they start talking about the iPad *drool* and I'm like 'What about the iPad!?' (not really, but you get it) and for the next ten minutes I was pretty much twitching and staring at it.
That story was completely pointless, other than to express my deep love for the iPad, just so you know...
Anyways, so I love it. A lot.

Smucker's Goober?
So I was in IGA today, in the jam/cereal section (looking for poptarts) when I came across this strange jar filled with peanut butter and jelly...Here in Australia we don't really go for peanut butter with jelly; pretty sure they don't even sell bottled jelly.
Swirly swirly
So I was a little sceptical. I'd never had peanut butter with jelly until now (I know, right?!) I'm not sure if I should toast the bread or not...I went with toasted, but not a sandwich
I read a post somewhere that called it "Lazy man's peanut butter and jelly" I thought that was pretty hilarious.
My final deduction, tastes...strange...like, why bother with the peanut butter? It just tastes like jelly. I so don't get americans. I think I'll stick with normal peanut butter on my toast.

So I was watching TV the other day!
And I'm amazed at the weird shizz they show these days...seriously! Millionaire Matchmaker? The Cougar? Antique Roadshow? Does anyone actually watch this?
And don't get me wrong, I watch my fair share of crap (Secret Life, Vampire Diaries (although I actually love that), Make it or Break it), but this stuff is just ridiculouso!
I actually watched Millionaire Matchmaker yesterday night and I have to say, it completely stood up to my expectations. Probably Single Bitchy Woman bosses around millionaires and tells pretty girls their trampy/shallow/not good enough for Jimmy D. I seriously don't see how someone who managed to make millions would decide to go on that show...wouldn't they have chicks throwing themselves at them already?
But no! They're not happy with that, they need their wholesome christian girls or blondey McSkankingtons that they could get without the help of Crazy Single Lady.
Well, that's the end of my rant...I guess I'll see you guys in a few days.
Laterz!

A little bit of Cloontang to brighten up your morning
I'm watching Up In The Air right now and I'm not sure if I actually like it, or if I only like it because I love me some Clooney, so here's what I thought!
I know, it's taken me so freakin' long to actually see this, and I claim to be a Clooney fan? What is wrong with me, right? Well, I don't know what to tell you...
First scene thoughts because I actually just put it on when I started writing this.
Poor Clooney, having to fire all those people. Also, good choice for large-and-in-charge-boss-man-but-still-pretty-hilarious-man, but then again, Clooney is always the best choice (Even if he might not end up being like that at all...I don't know). Also, Clooney is so awesome, pulling off his shoes and jacket all quick and stylin' like.
Blugh! I don't like Jason Bateman, he always seems seedy and creepy...
Wooh Bingham seems to have a love interest (possibly other business type woman?)!
And gah! chic from Twilight! It's Jessica! Ahh she's all business-y...I like it.
Well...about 100 minutes later...
Ahh so many actors/actresses I know and love!
I quite liked it, I thought the ending was good, not happily ever after for Cloondigidy, but that would have been what everyone wanted (can't give in to peer pressure) and very obvious.
Totz loved the Clooney.

Eclipse!
I loooved it! Oh so much!
No, I didn't go to the midnight screening, I saw the first one on the 1st at 10am. There was no one there, a few old ladies and some suspiciously hetero guys and barely any super fans.
No one screemed when RPattz came on (except me) not even when Jacob took his shirt off. I did like the comment Eddie made "Does he even own a shirt?" I laughed a little too hard at that one.
I'm also a movie talker (exactly what it sounds like, I talk in movies.) Except it seems to only be Twilight movies...maybe I just get too excited...
But my best friend puts up with it because she's just as much of Twi-hard as me!
I loved RPattz in it, as always. Loved Seth too. (My best friend) Kate said "Awww, isn't he a munchkin!" and the ladies behind us laughed :P
There was bit of hot makin' oot (Canadian, even though I'm not Canadian)
Yummy Peter Facinelli arms in a polo too!
Look at those arms! Can't you just imagine them in a polo?
To anyone who hasn't seen it yet. SEE IT! RPattz needs his moneys! Even though that doesn't make sense, I don't care.
