Eura Cool (to me) #3

It's been a while since I've documented my cool finds.  If you find yourself impatient with my lack of blogging discipline you can see my choices before they hit the blog (not everything will be blogged about...I'm only one procrastinator).  Please feel free to click on: MY FAVORITES (aka: stuff I think is cool).
No need for that at the moment because have I got some coolness for you (in my humble opinion...like calling it humble actually makes it so)!!  I've been on a fashion-y kick so my choices will reveal such a mood (Yes, fashion-y is a real mood...in my world.  So HA!)

Let the coolness proceed...

...Light Switch Cover / Switch Plate (Funky Chicken Design) - I have a little bit of electrical skill so a boring switch plate is nothing if unappealing (possibly a word?).  Cream? White?...Wait, what about cream?  Say, "Buh-bye" to boring lifeless plates.  Say, "Hello" to fun lively printed decor improvers.  These are actually STYLISH and well...cool.

...Ombre Maxi Skirt (Archella) - I like the word ombre (n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp. ).  I think it's well...cool.  I also like maxi skirts (even when they were just called LONG skirts).  Because they are...well, you know.  The color makes me happy, and there is no shaving of the legs required.  Win-WIN!!  And so very...cool.

...MUSE Ballet Flats (BaliElf) - Heels are lovely, but not a BFF of the grace-challenged.  I'm not going to say that I've fallen off a step stool that was only a foot off the ground (I guess I just did...Oh, and I slammed into a wall seconds after), but let's just say I'm gravity aware.  Occasionally, I wear heels.  BUT flats are where it's at for me.  Safety first.  Ankle straps are lovely seatbelts to keep my narrow heels from escaping my shoes.  My specific shoe needs have been met with STYLE, and that is so...cool.

...Statement Necklace (Luli Grun) - I'm a t-shirt and anything type of girl (jeans, skirts, etc).  Statement necklaces can give a simple t-shirt LIFE.  Eco-conscious statement necklaces from Argentina will change YOUR life (too much??  Yeah, probably so.).  You support an artist in another land, and are considerate to our lovely planet.  Both your t-shirt and EARTH will thank you for your STYLE, and that's...cool.

If you're ever wondering what I think is cool BEFORE I post it then come visit me on MY FAVORITES (aka: stuff I think is cool) or just visit (and LIKE) my FACEBOOK Page: EURALEE or come back to this blog: EURAHEARTS.  Until next time my friends.  Until next time...

Eura Cool (to me) #3 is coming...

Indeed it is coming....BUT there is so much Cool-ness, that it's hard to focus (in addition to being a procrastinator)...I'm going to choose three..or four..or three.  I'm very certain.  I think?

Eura Cool (to me) #2

Sometimes it is quite difficult to find something that I like and then declare it cool.  Why?  Inevitably and quite superficially, the minute I commit...someone else will agree.  This is silly (I do admit).  Yet, it plagues me to the depths of my soul (well...I'd have to be deep to have TRUE depth.).  Alas, I do not stop my search for the COOL things out there.  Some things literally are brought to me, and others I find by a bit of clicking or pinning (shout out to my Pinterest ppl!).  Be it ETSY or engaging in people watching (then attempting the nonchalant, "Oh, that's so cute...Where'd you get that?" *innocent un-stalker face*).

I find things...and yeah they are quite...cool.  Here's three for your money:

...Polymer Clay Stud Earrings (Mandy's Charms) - Earrings make my face happy. Happier than food (I'm touching the boundary of exaggeration.). They are bright and fun and they make swirls like...cinnamon rolls. These have no calories. (WARNING: There are high levels of CUTE.) I want to wear them in the rain, in Spain, and even on a plain because they are...cool.

...Abstract Art Keychain (Starlight Woods) - I'm not a key chain person (apologies if I've given them as souvenirs...I'm lazy). That being said, I want this key chain.  The art work is what caught my attention.  It has passed my STARE test (meaning I don't get tired of gazing at it online).  This key chain is hand painted and made from birch.  Eco-friendly, stylish, and...cool.

...Natural Lip Balm with Custom Labels (Hand-Poured Lipbalm) - Sometimes my lips try to crack under pressure (of me biting/pulling the skin off...bad habit).  My go-to lip balm was in the famous yellow tube.  A month ago, a photographer friend passed me her custom-labeled lip balm made by a mutual friend.  I snatched it (because it was FREE), but whispered to my yellow tube that this didn't mean anything (whispered in my mind...like you don't). I put it on...my lips were HEALED by the Lor-...or by the essential oils and natural ingredients.  My lips were soft and...cool. Now I have flavors and tints and I even shared one (if there is such a thing as reluctuant sharing).  I don't like confrontation so please don't tell my yellow tube.  Break-ups can be so dramatic.

Eura Cool (to Me) #1

As I read through the various ways to promote my store via the vast plethora of massively intimidating social networking options I decided to just talk about what's cool.  You know...Cool.  Are you cool?  Is being cool really that important, or is it just a tag associated with what we WISH we could be all the time?

Let's start with me.  Do I think I'm cool?  Well, many of us gain our self-perception from the feedback of others.  Do people like us? I think FB has taken this to another level.  Making all of one's mundane moments in life worthy of broadcasting to the world (minute or ridiculously broad depending on the amount of "friends" tallied.).  Still, am I cool?  Nah.  I hope not.  I mean if I thought I was cool, then that would inevitable mean that...I. am. not.

So let's focus on things that are indeed...Cool (to me).

...Handmade mineral eye shadow (Noella Beauty Works) - If you know me (you probably don't), you know that I am afraid of makeup because I don't know how to work it, BUT this looks like ice cream.  Far less intimidating...and very cool.

...Handmade Children's Toy Clown (HopIT) - if clowns looked like this then I wouldn't be so freaked out by them. (Like Chuckie Cheese freaked out.  I know Chuckie wasn't a clown, but why was his mouth so big that a 5yr old feels like she's going to be eaten???)  This clown is very calm and non-threatening...and vegetarian.  Cool.

...Handmade cardigan (Oveja Negra Knits) - hand-knitted items are special because there's normally only ONE of the item you have which is...Cool.  This cardigan is nice because of the zigzags and it looks warm and ready for a night at the movies or on long flight.  So you don't get too...Cool.
