Just another reason

This is just one reason that Etsy entertains me for hours each day (yes that is sad but XP suck it lol). This is taken from the "Dirty Sanchez" (yeah it is what you think) soap shop's description of her soap called:

"caffeine"

"you know those mornings when you’re just so full of hate – for getting out of bed, for facing another day at your dumb job, for your stupid neighbor who steals your paper and lets his dog wiz on your fence? those mornings when you feel like slashing tires and tripping old ladies? those mornings when you just want to punch a baby deer? yeah, this soap won’t help any of that... you probably need a therapist and some prozac.

but for those less-psychotic mornings when you just can’t quite figure out if you should aim for the coffee maker or the shower first, my caffeine soap is just what the head-shrinker ordered. made with a super-rich blend of oils, real ground coffee for gentle exfoliation and natural color, and scented with a delicious combo of coffee and vanilla (think Trademarked Overpriced Quasi-Italian Blended Frozen Espresso Drink,) this bar should carry you through until your actual coffee kicks in. and if not? at least you’ll be clean."

Some of my favorite shops!

If your reading this journal it is a good bet that you know me and know that I'm very odd. lol so with that I thought that I might share some of my favorite shops that have some fun and neat things. Some off the beaten path and some just not really known that well.

-First up is Threadless: http://threadless.com/
Has the BEST t-shirts (and some pink ones lol Craig) that are made my artist voted on and then sold. So in other words you can vote on what t-shirts you want and like and if they win they will e-mail to tell you that you can now buy them!

-Second is Squishables: http://www.squishable.com/s/
I don't think many people know that I have collected stuffed animals both large and small since I was a little kids. But then again I like odd things so this site takes a twist on it. They sell semi large stuffed animal-ish pillows! Cool round animal pillows ^_^! Go have a look to see what I mean.

-Third is Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/index.php
This is a really cool place. Think of it like ebay for handmade things. Now I know what many people think when they hear handmade.... but this stuff is so much higher quality then you'd ever believe! It is like walking into a mall store. And they sell almost anything you can think of. From Jewry and clothing to beautiful things to decorate you house. I love seller gfox88's steel rings and amlowi's knitted hats. Just type something in and see what you can find.

-Fourth and last for tonight is Uncommon Goods: http://www.uncommongoods.com/
This place is a bit pricier then the others but it has a lot of cool and quirkier things for the house and yard. Not everything is a ton of money but enough of it is. Anyway it is a cool and neat place to pick up that odd "odds and ends". I picked up a cute little buddha bowl and mug from here and love them to death!

Whelp that is it for right now. And yep my taste is odd ^_^
