Emma’s Favorite Things: Green Bamboo Candle

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

I think I’m going to start a new series of posts on my blog. Screw “Oprah’s Favorite Things”. It’s ALL about Emma’s Favorite Things. I have WAY better taste than her anyways.

Now that we’ve got that cleared up. My first fav thing is going to be Green Bamboo scented candles from Yankee Candle.

Green Bamboo scent

A lot of the Yankee Candles smell terrible. Their pumpin pie spice scent is utterly nauseating & makes me want to barf. In general I steer clear of all of their “food scents”. Anyways. The green bamboo scent is really nice. Light & spring-like.  Which is especially nice when it’s February & its hard to imagine anything ever growing or being green.

Seriously. The bullet shattered a car window, but was then stopped by weave!?! That’s damn impressive!

Valentine’s Day Frenzy

It must be that time of the year again. Valentine’s Day. It’s a great day, especially now that I’m married & have a permanent date for it, of course. Although I usually liked it, even when I didn’t. When else do you have a day dedicated to flowers, chocolates & stuffed animals? A day when you can wear red, pink & white together and people won’t think that you’re “that” big of a freak. Perhaps I’m just a romantic.  But I dig the idea of a day that’s all about pampering other people, as well as being pampered yourself. It’s the I love Love day!

Anyways. I was at the grocery store today, and as usual on the day before Valentine’s day, the flower department was a mad house. Totally jam packed full of dudes, with wide-eyed stares. Think a deer looking into the headlights of a Mack truck and cross that with a gaggle of panicked zombies who just ran out of brains to nom on. It’s kinda crazy. Looking like they’ve never seen a flower, or been inside a grocery store before.

Really guys, come on. Chicksaurs like flowers, all flowers. It’s really hard to be doing something wrong if you have flowers in hand for your woman… (unless said woman is allergic… then you should consider chocolates instead, hehe.).  Any normal chick will be stoked to get anything that shows that you were thinking of her. Really. You could pick up a piece of gravel, and say “I thought this nub of rock was unique & beautiful & it reminded me of you.” and most girls will totally swoon all over it, and you, and keep said piece of gravel proudly on display… Seriously. We’re easy to please. Me? I just want some snuggle time with my man… And perhaps something of the chocolate flavored variety….

I don’t know if I have a point here, or anything….. Maybe it’s just a piece of advice to guys. Chillax. It’s cool. You will get through this day. Good luck & get out there & show some love.  Over and out.
