Loved this movie, but it's not entirely germane to the big question I'm asking.
I used "germane" in a sentence this week. Correctly, no less. Yeah, surprised me, too ...
Anyway, the phrases "doesn't pertain to" or "isn't relevant" didn't come to mind, apparently, as I stuttered, stammered, hemmed and hawed my way through a sentence before suddenly remembering the G word.
"Sorry," I said, "but that doesn't ... Umm ... We don't ... Uhh ... That's not germane to the story."
I'd love to say it's a word that would normally spring to mind when I'm writing; but I totally remembered it from "House Bunny" with Anna Faris. Thanks, Anna!
And thanks Karen, a reader who emailed me to share her $10-or-less beauty find, after my story on other readers' favorites ran Tuesday.
The product she recommends is Lander Essentials Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Body Wash, which she found at Walmart for about $4.
Here's why she loves it, verbatim: "It performs 3 functions in one 32 ounce bottle," "I have found 3 different scents (Coconut, Vanilla and Lavender)," and "It is MADE IN THE USA." Has anyone else tried it? What did you think?
Karen's email reminded me of something I promised a male blog reader I'd do ASAP (oops). After I asked everyone for their favorite $10-or-less beauty finds, he suggested I do the same for guys -- so here goes!
Gentlemen, what are the most awesome products you use in your daily grooming regimen? It could be body soap, razors, deodorant, facial scrubs, toe nail clippers, whatever -- but stuff that's in the $10-or-less range.
Peace, love and German chocolate cake (sorry, "germane" made me think of it) ... XOXO
