Comments about Out Of Africa Organic Shea Butter Lip Balm, Strawberry, .25 oz:
I use Out of Africa Shea Butter Lip Balm everyday for my dry lips. The strawberry scent is light and pleasant. I was surprised by the rough texture of the balm and how it crumbled into small chunks on my lips, but it does eventually melt onto the lips. Crumbling can be mitigated by applying lightly. I love that this product contains no synthetic preservatives, doesn't leave a white waxy residue on my lips and can be used around mucous membranes. I have not used this product in warm weather yet.

Comments about Out Of Africa Organic Shea Butter Lip Balm, Strawberry, .25 oz:
This product is the most moisturizing lip balm. You barely have to use any product and it makes your lip feel so moisturized and slippery. My biggest complaint is that it tastes and smells very bad, which doesn't make me reach for it very often. So if you don't care about taste/smell of your lip products, I'd say go for this one for sure. Otherwise, as great as this product is, the taste and smell might make this a bad purchase for you.

I have a chance to buy a Delta 37-280 6" Motorized Jointer for <$50. It is mounted on a mobile stand, has cast iron tables, but an aluminum fence.....
I would like opinions from anyone here concerning this jointer.
I also have the opportunity to buy a JT360 NIB for $175. Should I go for that one instead?? What to do...what to do...what to do...........
- Does the aluminum fence create any problems?
- Is knife setting a problem?
- Is the performance OK?
- What should I be looking out for?

Zelda Williams and I have something in common. We both lost a parent to suicide.

Ever wanted to own Willie Nelson's braids? Now is your chance.
Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett all got my attention from the start of Brantley's new video. If there is one way to get Rudy Fernandez to sit up and take notice, employ the use of firearms. I don't really understand what the guns have to do with the "Small Town Throwdown" video in the opening sequence. Nonetheless it's a great start to a great song and an awesome video. Check it out for yourself.
For the record I am a die hard Kristofferson fan, so when I came across this video I knew I had to share it with you. Kris Kristofferson admits he is not much for going to church. Nonetheless, he was in a church with country singer Connie Smith. Kris admits he didn't know what was happening to him, but he felt something moving within him. That's when he got the idea for "Why Me Lord".
This years group of songwriters that are being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame are probably better known for the songs they wrote. Here's are some music videos of the songs this years inductees wrote. The first song written by Tom Douglas got Miranda Lambert several awards. Check these songs out.
Pat Green is truly a Texas born music artist that attended Texas Tech University. Green started music at age 18 and his most successful song and album to date is "Wave On Wave" both of which reached 'Gold' stratus. Pat Green fans, no need to search the web to find all of Pat's 'official music videos'.

First off I absolutely love this new Thomas Rhett song titled "Make Me Wanna". Although it has very familiar 1970's sound and feel to it, I believe it's going to be Rhett's biggest song of the year. This is a love song that speaks volumes for me, in fact I played it for my wife and I told her it was our new love song now. Thomas Rhett, you hit the nail right on the head because this song 'Makes Me Wanna' spend every waking minute with the one I love. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
As I anxiously await more episodes of "KFTV", from our favorite Texas redneck Kevin Fowler. I came across this earlier episode from a couple of years ago. In this video, Kevin Fowler goes full-auto on his AR-15 rifle and introduces one of his band members to the fine world of firearms. Check it out.
Mary Chapin Carpenter was a Washington D.C. nightclub singer, until she signed her record deal with Columbia Records in 1987. It wasn't until the early '90's that Mary Chapin saw any real chart success. By 1992 Mary Chapin Carpenter was dominating the charts as well as the country music award shows. Her biggest achievements to date include 'Female Vocalist of the Year' and 'Album of the Year'. I believe that Carpenter is one of the best songwriters around and was recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Mary Chapin Carpenter fans, no need to search the web to find all of Mary Chapin's 'official music videos'.

Jake Owen recently admitted to Fox411 that he loves to drink beer, hang out with his friends on his boat and have fun on stage. But now Jake says he's ready to expose his more serious side with his newest song "What We Ain't Got", a song that was just released today. I'll be the first to admit, I had to do a double take to make sure I was listening to a Jake Owen song because it didn't sound like Jake. I think it's awesome, but don't take my word for it, give it a listen and then tell me what you think.
A few years ago Ralph Emery hosted a show that brought together a dozen country music legends. I came across this video and was blown away by all the country superstars that are seated together and singing each others songs. In this video, Mel Tillis sings his classic "Coca Cola Cowboy" and is accompanied by Willie Nelson, Lorrie Morgan, Kris Kristofferson, and a host of others. Watch this awesome video and see how many country music legends you can Identify.
