A SIMPLE VISIT TO THE DENTIST
Let me start by confessing that I avoided visiting a dentist for a long time. An embarrassingly long time. Yes, I knew the potential consequences of my neglect - my teeth could all turn irreversibly black and fall out one by one.
But that didn't happen! What did happen - one night while watching Leno I noticed that his guest's ill-fitting dentures made a clicking sound when he spoke. I do not want my teeth to click when I talk. My great-grandmother's dentures clicked and I always found it annoying.
I have a great dentist - no complaint there. Of course, I've never really spoken with him - much less heard him. My time in The Chair is spent listening to Abba as loud as my ears can take it. Fortunately, my hygienist is very tolerant of both Abba and a cheap headset.
Today's little rant is about the time I spent today dreading my next dental appointment. Which was scheduled for tomorrow. WRONG. One last look at my calendar tonight confirmed the appointment - which is scheduled for NEXT Tuesday. Now I have all week to dread next Monday which I know will be spent dreading Tuesday's dentist appointment.

SCRUB-A-DUB-DUB - THERE'S CHOCOLATE IN MY TUB! While trying on last year's summer wardrobe (Do these shorts still fit? Do I really like this blouse?) I noticed that my legs are not only pasty white but they also have flaky scales. Not quite the look I want. I must be one of the only gals out here who's not clued in to the magic of sugar scrubs. Ever the brave soul, I decided to find one and give it a go. After looking at lots of pretty packaging (always an important consideration when buying unfamiliar beauty products) I decided to try KLEAN Bath & Body's German Chocolate Cake Body Polish . This certainly isn't the best time of year to eat chocolate cake (if I want to wear those shorts) so I'll take the no-calorie version for the bathtub! Now to the self-tanner. I'm not brave enough to try a new brand so I picked up a tube of L'Oreal's Sunless Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer . It gives just enough color to my skin to make it look naturally tan an

MY NEW FAVORITE LIP BALM While shopping last week I paused at the Burt's Bees display - I always look at their new products. As soon as I saw their new lip balm I knew I had to have it. Lip Shimmers is the company's newest line of lip products. Unlike other lip balms (both Burt's and other companies') it's actually creamy. There's a great selection of colors (11!) that look like they'll work with every complexion. I love the Papaya. I can't think of enough good things to say about this product: it's 100% natural, comes in a nice little tube (no messy finger application), has just enough shimmer to look like lip gloss and is a budget-friendly $4 per tube.

PUBLICITY TIP I just learned about Squidoo and why we business owners should be using it. Not only is it great for SEO but it's free! Resourceful entrepreneurs can't afford not to use this site. Just write a lense (similar to a blog entry) about a topic you're knowledgeable about - any topic. Business owners often know more about their product than anyone else. So tell the world about it! I'm still working on my first lense. I wrote about KLEAN Bath & Body's sugar scrubs - it's easy to write about products you love . The tech support staff and community at SquidU are helping me iron out the kinks - I'll show it to you when it's completed.
