Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bar Recipe
Brownies and chocolate chip cookies are a staple in pretty much everyone’s life. I don’t know many people who don’t like one or the other. My household loves both equally as much. So you can imagine how excited I was to find a recipe for a combination of both classics.
Michelle, the Brown Eyed Baker, featured an awesome recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Topped Brownies. You get the best of both worlds with this recipe! A little gooey and a lot chocolatey! This sinful treat will surely satisfy any sweet tooth.
Make sure you visit Michelle’s recipe blog, she has lots of really nice recipes to check out. You can also choose to follow her Twitter account, @browneyedbaker.
More Twitter Apps Than You Can Shake a Stick At
I first noticed Twitter apps a few months ago and thought “hmm, wonder what those are all about?” So I started looking into them and discovered that there are tons of different ones to choose from. They each have something different to offer.
I first compiled a list of 27 Twitter Apps that I posted to Small Business CEO. That list was a huge success so I started jotting down more as I found them. Well, now I’ve come up with 31 additional Twitter applications! I can’t believe how many cool features are available with these apps. One of my new favorites: Tiny Song. This app lets you share your favorite songs on Twitter.
Take a minute to look over these lists. It will take you some time to go through but in the long run, they will help streamline your Twitter usage. Out of all of the 58 Twitter apps that I’ve featured on Small Business CEO, I’m sure you will find something that you will actually enjoy using.
* The Twitter “follow me” icon can be found within “300+ Completely Free Twitter Buttons and Icons“.
Cooling Aloe Body Parfaits
My favorite Etsy seller, Cozy Moments, has come up with a creative idea. She’s taken goat’s milk and honey body cream and layered it with cooling aloe vera gel. The final result is an attractive jar of soothing body parfait.
I purchased two travel sized jars for testing, “Flirt – Tini” and “Pink Lime Sugar”. Both scents are incredible. The mixture of lotion and aloe feels wonderful when applied to the skin. I can just imagine how it will feel after a day in the hot sun. I imagine cool and refreshing.
Easy Honey Maple Glaze Recipe
Sometimes grilled chicken and pork chops can be so bland and unexciting. In an attempt to spice things up, I tried this sweet honey maple glaze. It’s quick and easy with only 3 simple ingredients.
With the grilling season upon us, try this glaze for a little change of pace. I bet you’ll find yourself using it again and again. As they say, “finger licking good”!

Puppies – Cute Videos To Make You Giggle
Who doesn’t love cute little puppies? I came across this video and thought it was so cute. My dog cries and whimpers in his sleep but nothing as cute as this little guy.
And I’ll never understand how one little cat can intimidate dogs so badly. My dog will do anything he can to avoid my two cats for no reason. They are declawed and have never attacked him but he acts like they are each 100 pound beasts.
Picnik – Easy As Pie Online Photo Editing
For the past few weeks, I’ve been using the most amazing site ever! Picnik is a free and easy online tool that makes photo editing a breeze. I used to use PhotoImpact Pro but it seemed like it took forever to open up and use. Picnik opens quickly and makes my photo editing so much quicker.
There are two versions that you can choose from, free or premium. I have been using the free version and there is nothing missing that would cause me to want to upgrade. I only use photo editing for resizing and tweaking pictures for my blogs. The free version still gives me the ability to use certain effects, add text, add frames and add stickers. The premium version adds a few more bells and whistles for only $24.95 per year. Not too bad for easy photo editing.
What’s even awesomer about this tool is that you can share and post photos with just the click of a button. You can email photos to friends and various websites and post photos to Twitter and other social sites. There are lots of other great features but it would take forever to mention them all.
I would list Picnik as one of my very best finds for 2009. I absolutely love it. It makes my life so much easier so I wanted to share it with others. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Twitter Icons – Over 300 Free “Follow Me” Buttons
A few days ago I pointed you to a site to help you add some personality to your Twitter profile , and now you can add a bit of personality to your blog or website too. One way to help you gain new Twitter followers is by adding a “follow me” icon to your personal and/or business sites.
I also write for Small Business CEO regularly. On Monday, I posted a list I put together of sites that collectively contain over 300 absolutely free Twitter “follow me” buttons. There are so many good choices to choose from. I am partial to the colorful and whimsical options like the one in my sidebar and shown above. The icon above can be found on the site twitterbuttons.com.
Be sure to check out all the sites before you choose one you like. Each site has different styles and designs that should appeal to just about anyone. If you’d like, you can follow me on Twitter by clicking on the graphic above.
Luscious Lemon Lollipop Cupcake Sugar Scrub
The wonderful pictures on Sugar Candie Body Bar are what initially drew me into their bath and body products. I never imagined that I would look at sugar scrubs and want to eat one, but these products look good enough to eat! They look like whipped creamy and delicious treats complete with sprinkles on top.
Before purchasing a larger jar, I started by sampling one of their “Try Me Size” jars for $3.95 plus shipping. These sampler jars are sold in their Etsy store. I had a very difficult time choosing my fragrance but I settled on the Luscious Lemon Lollipop Cupcake.
My purchase was shipped fairly quickly and I was pleased so far with my shopping experience. Yesterday I tried out the sugar scrub for the very first time. It is amazing! I loved the way it made my skin feel soft and smooth and even made my hands feel softer. The scent is wonderful. Some scrubs leave your tub and skin feel too greasy but not this one.
I easily recommend these sugar scrubs as a good buy. Not only will you love the scents, but you’ll be happy with the results of the scrubs also.
