Shea butter is actually very easy to spread. It has an oddly soft, coarse consistency that melts as soon as you start rubbing it together. It does take awhile to absorb into the skin, but I bathe at night so it has plenty of time to do it's work while I'm asleep. I've tried whipped Shea Butter, Bath and Body works has one, but I don't like the change in consistency or the smell of the whipped butter. Raw shea butter has this warm, nutty scent that I really like. Body Shop's Brazil Nut body butter is also pretty awesome and I used it as a substitute for Shea Butter one summer and it worked really well.

I'm really happy that you enjoyed the list! I meant to include pictures of the shoes, but I kept holding off posting, so I decided to just go without them. The Chinese Laundry Slinbacks are AWESOME! My next pair of shoes should be ankle boots/booties, I think. Although, I don't know what kind I want. Ross is my best friend and I always find cute shoes there, so I almost never have a set pair of shoes in mind when I go shoe shopping.

Amelie is definitely a movie to watch. It's one of my fave's. Sweet, quirky ... very awesome.

That is the best icon ever!
