Vocal Harmonies to Cleanser Your Ears
This is coming to me at the perfect time where I need to clear my head of all the crappy sounds. I stumbled upon it after signing the petition to name le Parc Clark after the late Lhasa de Sela (une demande qui a jusqu'à présent passée dans le beurre).

Survive Pre-Christmas With Productivity Meals
So I've been posting a lot about Shinysht lately, but I haven't forgotten how I wanted to get back on track and post regularly about all the things that get me motivated in life. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm out to help you incorporate veganism in your current diet.
Life is getting extra hectic with Christmas on its way, but you don't need to make compromises to your healthy diet. Actually, now is the time more than ever to eat proper food and boost your energy.
Here's a simple yet very flavourful recipe that I call Multiple Vegetables and Bean Over Coucous (yeah.) It's packed with protein and will give you the energy you need to be productive during the say.
1. Preheat the oven to 425C
2.Dice your vegetables and place them raw on a baking tray
3.Poor olive oil onto the vegetables and toss around until coated
4. Add cumin and crushed red peppers to taste
5. Pop this in the oven for 30 mintutes: toss after 10 minutes. After another 10, add the beans and toss and turn the heat down to 350C. Leave for the remaining 10 minutes.
6. Prepare the couscous -What's great about the recipe is that you can prepare the portions of couscous as you need them and store the extra vegetable bean topping in the refrigerator
7. Take the veggies out and add the hoisin sauce
8. Pour the veggie/bean mix over the prepared couscous and voilà!
Hope this saves some of your meals from turning into the horrifying frozen diner supper.

Fake Food ShinySht Decoden: Launch Tomorrow!
Officially setting off on a Decoden/Fake sweets/Fake food adventure called ShinySht. It will be online and ready for you to encourage as of tomorrow, Saturday December 15th at http://storeenvy.com/shinysht.
Looking for Christmas gifts? Here's the place for all lovers of sweets, decoden and happiness!
See you tomorrow,
Gal at Shinysht
"Toxique pi cancérigène pi toute le kitte loh..."
There really isn't a lot of information on the toxicity of 100% silicone caulk because it's such a commonly used material, but my experience with it and this information here by a furniture maker on Livejournal is enough to convince me.
When I used it, I started feeling dizzy, high, had irritated eyes and a sore throat instantly. I was wearing a mask and was in my dad's construction work room which is made to be ventilated and yet I was still feeling it.
Not only that, but the other people living with me had to endure the smell that permeated the rooms way beyond my work area.
In conclusion, this kind of boring post is essential before my decoden adventure launches because, yes, I am aware that latex caulk is less sturdy. However, no, I am not willing to sacrifice health for that.
"hi I'm a furniture maker. I joined this community recently, and it concerns me that you guys are using silicone glue in exposed or unsafe conditions. TAFE (college chain in Australia) students are actually banned from using silicone glues nowadays because they're highly toxic when in use, including only breathing this product in.
The glues are only considered non-toxic when dry and covered/unbroken. In a wet state, or in the process of curing, or in the case the dry glue starts to flake apart, it's toxic and an irritant to skin, eyes, etc.
You might not find much research or documentation on the dangers of silicone products, as it's one of those things that are used too much in production of many items, and in many forms (chemically speaking), and would cause a great deal of issue to remove it from production altogether until the research is complete, but evidence of the dangers are definitely being uncovered.
Please, for your safety, if you insist on using it, wear a breathing mask and cover any skin that might come into contact with the glue when using silicone glues and products, and always heed the warning label.
Read below if you want more specific info, otherwise just skip the rest. :]
---
On silicone adhesives. Note: this is only one once-time contact or exposure, repeated contact or exposure could have worse consequences, such as long-term damage to your eyes, skin, breathing capacities.
VI. HEALTH HAZARD AND PROTECTION DATA (By-product: Acetic Acid)
This material releases acetic acid until moisture curing is complete.
A. Personal Protection Recommended:
Wear impervious gloves and protective clothing as required to prevent skin contact.
Wear protective goggles to prevent eye contact.
An eyewash and safety shower should be nearby and ready for use.
B. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
1. Inhalation: Moderately toxic. Severe mucous membrane irritant.
2. Eye Contact: Severe eye irritant.
3. Skin Contact: Severe skin irritant
4. Ingestion: Moderately toxic.
5. Chronic Effects of Exposure: May cause bronchitis and pharyngeal edema. Acetic acid may cause burns upon prolonged or repeated contact. Skin sensitization may occur.
C. First Aid for Exposure:
1. Eye contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open and lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get immediate medical attention.
2. Skin contact: Immediately remove excess material from the skin with a waterless skin cleaner. Wash skin with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wash before reuse.
3. Ingestion: Not applicable. Dilute acetic acid is approved for food use.
4. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.
5. Carcinogenicity: This material is not considered to be a carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, or the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
D. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: No data is available."

I've Been Thinking About You
I do enjoy Frank Ocean's music but... Yuna's cover of Thinkin Bout You is really breathtaking to me. It might be a weird thing to say but it sounds like a tiny is lodged inside her body and sings to pass the time. Watch this, you won't regret.

Too Good To Be Only 3$
"This product is the mere price of a good pair of shoes!" "Oh, so you mean three dollars, right?"
Found these at the Happy Castle City thrift store. Rubber soles are the seriously the best.
All things said, although I won't tell you where my favourite thrift stores are since I'm greedy like that (actually, I'm just too lazy to get all the addresses), I encourage you to go the eco/affordable/somuchchiquer way and thrift until... the end of time...
If you still ain't convinced, let Macklemore lead the way for you.
Until next time,
Stay snazzy, friend.

Life After Facebook
Even when facebook is desactivated, there are still a million ways to procrastinate. Photobooth is a great example of that.
Photobooth is definitely a good way to add merry feelings to one's day. It's just brainless fun. Stay cheerful, semester's almost over!
