Burt's Bees

I have bypassed that product over and over and over again. I'm your tried & true chapstick lover. Not to mention spending close to $5 on 1 stick of chapstick made of beeswax seemed absolutely ridiculous. But then, to quote Napolean, "my lips hurt REAL BAD" and nothing was doing the trick. Soooo - I did it. I purchased the $5 lip balm and now I can't get enough. It's the perfect combination of softness, mint, and protection. I put it on and my lips tingle with joy!

I finally caught up on the Top Chef finale last night. Karla completely blew it. I loved her - she was always the dark horse who layed low until the last few episodes where she won almost every challenge. Then, CASEY did her in. Why oh why did she let her have so much influence in her final dishes?! Casey was the one who BLEW IT big time 2 seasons ago in the finale. It was truly Karla's to lose and she lost. But, at least Stefan didn't win. I really only believe they kept him over Fabio during the semi's for TV ratings. He was WAY TOO cocky and quite honestly didn't impress me towards the end. So congrats Hosea - you never won a challenge, you cheated on your girlfriend with greasy Leah, and your dishes in the finale really weren't outstanding but somehow you managed to win the whole thing. Good job. I think next season they should do a head to head challenge with Tom Calicchio where the judges have no idea who's dish is who's... he talks a good game but I haven't seen him walk a good game and I'm waitin' for it...

I haven't had my coffee yet and my stomach is making all sorts of grumbling noises. Not to mention i'm procrastinating way too much right now.... ok i'll be back...
