buy this lush product, it's for a great cause!

This is the disciption of the freesom product from LUSH,

Here at LUSH we believe that all of our employees, customers and communities are valued and should be protected equally. Because of this, we want to end the ongoing discrimination against tens of thousands of same-sex couples and their families across America. This means everyone – gay and non-gay – having the freedom to marry, with the same responsibilities, dignity, security and expression of love and equality. For two weeks starting on June 13th, LUSH is turning its shops across North America into ‘freedom to marry campaign centers’ where customers can learn about the 1,138 rights denied to same-sex couples and sign a postcard petition urging the federal government to take action and overturn the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

We are also asking customers to take a bath and help dissolve DOMA by purchasing our new limited edition FREEDOM FOAMER BUBBLE BAR ($5.95). 100% of the proceeds of this emerald green bubble bar will go to Freedom to Marry to support their “Why Marriage Matters” campaign. Scented with the uplifting and refreshing scents of lemon, lime and grapefruit oils, the Freedom Foamer will be available exclusively online and at LUSH stores across North America for the duration of the campaign. It’s the perfect antidote to weary soles and a respite for freedom fighters

Freedom Foamer is launching the week of June 13th and will be available online and at LUSH stores nationwide for the duration of the campaign. For more information on LUSH’s Freedom to Marry Campaign: www.lush.com/freedomtomarry

For those of you that watch NY INK on tlc thursday nights at 10 my long time friend whom I've known since middle school is tattooing on the show.  Her name is Megan (goes by megan massacre) she has always been an amazing artist and when she puts her tattoo gun to skin she makes amazing life long art work.  I have a few tattoos by her done about 7 years ago when she was just starting out.  So for my 12th tattoo I plan to go visit her at the wooster street social club in Soho (where she is working and the show was filmed) and get a tattoo of a great icon tattooed on my right thigh.  Bettie Paige is who I'm talking about.

I hope to go visit in a few weeks.  Please watch the show and show your support!!! When I get the tattoo I'll be sure to post a photo on the blog.  Until then here and two of the images that I am contemplating between...

                                                                             OR

What Im loving.

You see is all over the magazines and on the web.  Bright lips with a retro cat eye.  I am adoring this. Its simple yet daring. Great for summer. Would look great paired with jeans, v-neck tshirt and a fedora hat.
