    I love your quote. I named my nephew after Ralph Waldo Emerson! My sister wanted an E name, and I've always liked reading his writings.

Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered.
