<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">double pom poms across the sky...err sorry getting carried away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/supplies_doublepomhat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="475" rea="true" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/supplies_doublepomhat.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Supplies</strong>: Pom Pom makers (I prefer Clover brand found <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clover-Extra-Large-Pom-Maker/dp/B001CE38QQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352480223&sr=8-2&keywords=pom+pom+maker">here</a> or at local hobby stores), yarn, scissors, and a premade beanie (not pictured)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You can use any beanie you have laying around or you can make one (patterns for <a href="http://crochet.about.com/od/easy-crochet-patterns/a/simple-crochet-beanie-hat-pattern.htm">crochet</a> and <span id="goog_1102322172"></span><a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/Quick_and_Easy_Beanie_Pattern__D50868220.html">knitted<span id="goog_1102322173"></span></a>).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 1</strong> - Make your pom poms with a yarn that matches your beanie...or not. I didnt photograph this step because depending on your pom pom maker it will be different....just follow the directions on the package. i used the XL for mine - size is up to you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Step 2</strong> - When you tie off your pom poms be sure to leave your tails long (about 6-8inches)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Step 3</strong> - poke your tails through the top of the beanie...you may need to use a crochet hook or yarn needle to get it through the knit. my beanie was pretty loosely knit so i could just pick the tails through with my fingers. your tails should now be on the inside of the beanie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">the spacing is up to you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 4</strong> - Tie your tails together or secure to the beanie in some way. if you knot them together they are only pulling on each other, not the knit of your beanie. In the picture below you can see i tied the tails into a bow.....that way i can take them off whenever i dont want them there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 5</strong> - adjust as needed. Do you need to move them forward or backwards on the hat? Move them closer together or further apart? You decide.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know this tutorial has been alittle slap-dash, but i wanted to show you something cute that can you can do quick over the weekend. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <strong>A few suggestions:</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">→Use a snug fitting beanie...the one i used here is very loose and floppy...not as awesome as it could be</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">→Make your pom poms as full as possible. The XL pom pom maker that I used takes forever to fill up....and lots of yarn!! I got impatient so they arent as full as i'd like. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">→Another tip that my mom taught me is to use waxed dental floss to tie them up with (the knot wont slip as easily) you can always tie a yarn tail to it before you take the pom maker apart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Enjoy!! I would love to see how yours comes out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">new segment! I have become slightly obsessed with nail stamping. yes....yes i have.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">(*i feel husbands eyes rolling as i type)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">since i usually change my polish on sunday's, so they are fresh to start the week, i have decided to start doing a mani monday segment.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">this week i have two to share. I did a special mani in celebration of a sweet little girl and her 2nd bday party (if you follow my instagram @ezzimcgee you would have seen the cake i did for her). she loves the color purple and butterflies....so thats what i did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Sally Hansen "Instant Iris" for the base color. A purple holo from Milani...sorry dont remember the name...on my ring fingers. Sally Hansen "Silver Sweep" to stamp with using the BM-307 plate (from the 2012 set). FYI for you stampers out there "Silver Sweep" is awesome to stamp with - full opacity on dark colors including black.</span></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night i decided to change it up for the week and I used Hard Candy's "Beetle" as a base color. This color is really neat...the name describes it all. Its a shimmery duelchrome with a black base....in different light and angles you get purple, red, gold and a green black color....hard to capture on my camera. I stamped over it with Revlon's "24k" using Cheeky 2012 summer plates CH-52. As you can see this is a good non "special polish" in gold that works great on dark and light colors.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I purchased my plates on Amazon (just search "nail plates"). if you are interested in watching videos i really like "plasmaspeedo" videos on YouTube.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Today i thought i would talk about the new No Doubt album, Push and Shove.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have been a fan of No Doubt since their ska days....man i miss those dayz. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Tragic Kingdom will always have that special place in my heart....i almost wore out my tape...yes tape! I had Tragic Kingdom on cassette tape (sad my kids will never fully understand what that means).</span>

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Moving on, Push and Shove, for lack of a better description, is POP. No big surprise seeing as though the last few albums, including solo work, have been rather pop-y. This album is the lady gaga, madonna, katy perry kinda pop. *sigh. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That being said, i still like the album. Yes it's different, far from the ska style i long to hear from them again, but a fun album nonetheless. If you are looking for a good album to bop along to while running/working out, driving, etc this is it. It's very upbeat and has a constant tempo throughout the album (important if you run to it). It definately makes you want to move your body....very dance-y. I still love her voice and the band. Everytime i hear they are coming out with something new i get my hopes up for a old skool ska roots type of album....and then get let down...pop. I'll take it but i may not be happy about it.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you aren't sure (no doubt my review put a seed of doubt in your head) give it a test-drive on iTunes. The deluxe edition was around $14 with a extra mixes of "Settle Down" and acoustic versions. Let me know what you think.</span></div>

...<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">these are "nail plates" (minus the blue protective film). They are metal plates with etchings on them in various designs that you put a swipe of nail polish on and scrape the extra off...pushing paint into the image in the process...then pick up the image with a soft rubber stamp. You then quickly line up the stamp with your fingernail and stamp.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">isn't that fun?!! it takes some getting use to and practice but its worth it. </span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">its a super easy way to turning a regular manicure into awesome manicure....and you can tell people "ya i did it myself...how awesome am i?"</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">if you want to see this done in real time i highly recommend you check out "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PlasmaSpeedo?feature=CA4QwRs%3D">Plasmaspeedo</a>" on YouTube. She has many videos that explain how to do stamping and shows differences between the different brands and images they have to offer.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">you can also just search "nail plates" in amazon and look at everything...so much fun.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have made all of these recipes except for the Nutella/Cool Whip pops, but lets be real....how can Nutella and Cool Whip go wrong? I made that cookie last night to share with the hubs....and let me tell ya...it was good (tip: get creative! add peanut butter chips, nutella, or just nuts). That rice was awesome and if you make a lot at once you can eat off of it for a week. Lets have a chat about those fake Cheedar Bay Biscuits for a min.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">These biscuits....man...these biscuits are AMAZING! I may have eatten a couple straight out of the oven...molten hot and everything. I have made this recipe a couple of times and would not change a thing. They even warm up great (wrap in paper towel and nuke for 15-30sec). Tip: if you dont keep Biscuick in the house your store may sell the small pouches of Biscuick, which you need exactly 2.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">today i bring you a fun and easy Anthro knock-off DIY. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">i originally saw this DIY <a href="http://www.themorningletters.com/2012/03/diy-anthropologie-look-alike.html">here</a> and wanted to try myself and pass it on to y'all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="298" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy1-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Supplies: paint (spray/acrylic), jump rings, ribbon, scissors, beads(large and small) and plastic teardrop shape crystals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy2-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="320" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy2-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. spray the crystals well. i recommend doing this in several light coats. use a clear protective top coat if you wish</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/antro_diy1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="320" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/antro_diy1-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. open and add the jump rings to your crystals. i used a heavier gauge ring since the crystals are large and heavy.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">3. thread 3 small beads before and after each crystal. both strands of the necklace will have 10 crystals (more or less if you like). i added additional small beads on the bottom strand to make up the length gap (pic for step 4) tip: i would cut you ribbon extra long to allow for length adjustment</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy3-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="320" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/littlegreenboxshoppe/anthro_diy3-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. thread a big bead on both ends to combine your strands (see the bottom strand-it has 7 little beads on right/left of the crystal to made up the gap in length between strands).</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">5. adjust the two strands - the top strand should hang about 1" above the bottom to create the staggered look</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial;">tie a knot above the big bead to keep everything in place.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">hold it up and tie a knot in the back (i may go back and make this a clasp closure later) when you are happy with the total length.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Wear with pride!! i wore mine to work and have gotten tons of complements!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">let me know if you have questions or need more explaination.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Coeur de Pirate</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Real name, Beatrice </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Martin, is the heart and soul of Coeur de Pirate ("Heart Pirate"). She is a French singer/songwriter from Quebec, Canada. If you read up on her you will find that she has an interesting life story (*coughs-alt porn model at age 16-*coughs), however, she has a great voice and beautiful music. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">y'all might be thinking..."wow, you speak french!?" ...no. i do not speak french other than a few words here and there that i picked up the two times that i visited France. i do, however, have a love for music no matter what language it's in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Coeur de Pirate's almost child like voice mixed with the rhythm of her lyrics and piano is just soothing. kinda hard to describe. it makes me feel carefree and light? does this make sense to anyone? just like watching Amélie...it makes you feel playful and free...atleast i do.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">She released her self titled debut album in 2008- most known for the song </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Comme des enfants" and "Ensemble" which was featured in a YouTube video about a baby. In November 2011 she release her follow-up album "Blonde"...which i just found out about (I was too busy getting married to notice-I played one of her songs during my cake cutting!).</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Anywho, I encourage you to check out both her ablums on iTunes. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's great feel good music that you can put on when you want something playing that wont destract you with lyrics you understand and want to sing along with...unless you are like me and still learn lyrics in foreign languages.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">i love her music!</span></div>

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's now playing feature is the debut album, A Minor Bird, from</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><a href="http://sucreofficial.com/">Sucré</a></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This band is made up of Stacy King (from Eisley), Darren King (Mute Math), and Jeremy Larson (Husband to Else from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1762268564">A Beautiful Mess</a></span><a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/"></a>)...<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">talk about an a crazy talented group. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The album just dropped today and I will admit i pushed the 'buy' button at 12:05a this morning so that it would be ready for me to listen to when i woke up this morning. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The name of the band describes itself....sweet. Stacy has a such a pure and angelic voice you cant help wanting to listen to. The songs are well written, melodic but still catchy. You can tell that it's Darren on the drums, although he has a certain technique for drums almost like a unique signiture, he keeps it soft and very fitting to the music. Jeremy, the multi instrument wonder, is amazing as always.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The best way for me to describe this album....had this been out when the movie Garden State was made it would have most certainly been on the soundtrack. If you are a fan of Eisley, Imogen Heap, Frou Frou, Lia Ices, or perhaps Feist you will love this album.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You can purchase the full album now on the iTunes for only $7.99. For 11 amazing songs thats a pretty good deal.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Perhaps the things that excites me most about this band is that they are coming to Houston on April 22nd and playing with some of my good friends - Finnegan (also available on iTunes). To add to the excitement Elsie (from <a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/">A Beautiful Mess Blog</a>) will be traveling with her husband (Jeremy) for this short tour, and unless she is completely bombarded, I might be able to stop by and say hello. Elsie has a special place in my heart because she was the very first blog i ever read before i realized just how big the blog world was. She is a great source of inspiration for anyone looking to follow their creative dreams. Enough gushing....go check out the album and let me know what you think.</span></div><div align="center"><br />

<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"gin-gins" or ginger chews</b> - my mom introduced me to these. they are exactly what they sound like, chewy nuggets of ginger candy. ginger is known for its stomach soothing abilities. its a very strong flavor...it took me a while to get use to it, but its my go-to when my stomach is upset because of my allergies</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>peppermint oil</b> - this is my go-to for just about anytime im not feeling great. peppermint oil is inexpensive and can be found in your local health foods store (whole foods) in a tiny bottle. dont be fooled by the size....a little goes along way (ive been using the same bottle for over a year and its not even halfway gone). it releases this wonderful and powerful tingling sensation. i usually rub it behind my ears and along the back of my neck. STAY AWAY FROM YOUR EYES!! if you even get the fumes near your eyes they will burn and turn you into a crying baby.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>the good 'ole ice/heat pack</b> - i have quite a few homemade rice packs that i keep in the freezer (they can also be thrown in the microwave if you want heat). see <a href="http://ezzi-ink.blogspot.com/2010/10/friday-diy-homemade-hotcold-pack.html">this post</a> on how to make one. i usually put one on the back of my neck and on my face. i know i look crazy and im sure my husband rolls his eyes at me, but hey whatever works</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>otc pain killers</b> - i wont share the brands or dosage but im sure you know your body and what your body can handle. again it goes without saying consult your doctor before taking anything new.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>sleep</b> - sounds like a no brainer, but when all else fails i go to bed. whether your body is being assaulted by pollen or germs a little extra sleep never goes awry. it gives your body a chance to rest and restore.</span></li>
</ul><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">enough of my allergy talk. sorry for the long silence. the next few weeks are shaping up to be busy as usual. hope your weekend went well!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyTxhn2eR-Qeghs8R9bDV7SDjFScAwSWvoRc-LXZrDwSkfvtVrIFoKS1zWu8fMuso0v_JPkcvTMyzqxOMPJw21HPHrN7svYPgZBC4ggknP_JhOcRymXdl21CE0QDkOY86xndWAYE1usca/s1600/signiture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyTxhn2eR-Qeghs8R9bDV7SDjFScAwSWvoRc-LXZrDwSkfvtVrIFoKS1zWu8fMuso0v_JPkcvTMyzqxOMPJw21HPHrN7svYPgZBC4ggknP_JhOcRymXdl21CE0QDkOY86xndWAYE1usca/s1600/signiture.jpg" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">this band will always bring back memories of middle school, watching clueless, and blaring my Cranberries tapes on my walkman while sitting by the pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">i definately recommend you go have a listen on the iTunes and buy this album. if for no other reason than to show your Cranberries fan pride...."hey thanks for making an album 10 years later and not giving up on rockin out."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">any suggestions for now playing:tuesday? leave me a comment if there is somthing you think i should listen to!</span><br />

If you are a fan of string and instrumental music you will really like this album. You're probably thinking..."well does it sound like classical versions of these artists?" and the answer is no. They do a really good job of getting the rock sound and intense beats in there....just with their cellos. If you watched the video i posted a while ago you know they dont play gently....they break bows.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8aj7kdgBt4m0c2NKBMLB46mhJWFg0TnGWc4LwtxK_xKXRHpZjiz5HapLor6x6nFxz_oSP-cEl7S_UggSWgsjqr8cx4y-TXku9wWzGua8lTu4xMcYjjnyTBJ0PbkTmgEItlSjRYwAMZxI/s1600/Welcome-To-The-Jungle-by-2Cellos-on-Cellos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8aj7kdgBt4m0c2NKBMLB46mhJWFg0TnGWc4LwtxK_xKXRHpZjiz5HapLor6x6nFxz_oSP-cEl7S_UggSWgsjqr8cx4y-TXku9wWzGua8lTu4xMcYjjnyTBJ0PbkTmgEItlSjRYwAMZxI/s400/Welcome-To-The-Jungle-by-2Cellos-on-Cellos.jpg" t$="true" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This cd has been in heavy rotation over the past week....i love it!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I like to play string instrument music while at work....which is why i have several Pandora stations dedicated to just that.
