Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why (Sonnet XLIII)” explores the tragedy of inevitable loneliness. Much of poetry is considered self expression, and with that notion in mind, and for the sake of this analysis, I will assume that Millay is documenting her own feeling or experience even though it is definitely in the realm of possibility that Millay is speaking from the point of view of an third-party character or separate persona. “Sonnet XLIII” divulges a…

there is a buzz coming out of the lip balm industry, you know it has to be really big news. Although EOS, Evolution of Smooth, has been making a name for themselves over the last few years, the introduction of the new vegan flavored lip balm has everyone going crazy. This new lip balm product appeals to those who are already loyal EOS customers and those who have been unable to enjoy the lip balm in the past due to certain ingredients. The clear vegan crystal flavored lip balm appeals to a wider…

Find needle, no needle, thumb tack will do. Mirror for placement. Adrenaline rush followed by pain. No turning back now. Struggle to get through cartilage, frustration arises. “Pop!” followed by pinching. IT IS THROUGH! Now pull thumb tack out and stick earring through. This was the steps from the first time I unprofessionally, with little sanitation added a new hole to my nose. I have never been grounded, but this was the first time my parents have ever grounded anyone. This reaction that…

If someone told me four years ago what I am doing now, I would not have believed them. As a child, I always was somewhat involved whether it being track, taking dance classes, teaching some dance classes to the little girls, girl scouts, and good old art club. However, now I realized how balancing that was nothing compared to now. The ability to balance activities, events, academics/work, and more without spreading yourself too thin is a strong characteristic necessary for any leader. A leader…

concrete amphitheater that is the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) of Mexico City, I felt like I was going to see the likes of a Soviet orchestra perform instead of the Flaming Lips—until I was greeted by booming electronic music and cigarette smoke at its outdoor entrance. It turns out that The Flaming Lips were concluding the first day of TAG CDMX, a three day interdisciplinary festival that invites innovators from the realms of music, movies, design, culinary arts, and technology to…

What is the main concern with products that go upon the lips? Is ingesting them one time dangerous? Or is it because we reapply so often/wear daily and it accumulates? The main concern is that most lip products are not made with edible ingredients yet we ingest the ingredients unknowingly. Ingesting the ingredients one time is not harmful, but toxins accumulate in our tissues overtime with daily applications. I think it’s best to purchase lip products that contain only edible, non-toxic…

back a few feet from the couch, turning to lean against the armrest of the seat, looking down at Yoongi. Releasing a stifled yawn, Yoongi was met with a stinging pain in his lip and cheek as he moved his facial muscles. Wincing, he raised a hand to the center of the pain, remembering that a cut in his cheek and lip were still present. "I tried to bandage them, but you were thrashing around half of the time." Yoongi looked up to Jimin, who was moving around the side of the couch to grab…

The notion that someone’s personal attire can disrupt someone else’s concentration in a learning environment is foolish to even consider. One dresses to fit ones personality, to boost ones confidence, and to make oneself feel original, not to be the top of their class. Material things such as clothes, piercing, and unnatural hair will only continue to cause a distraction when a teacher calls someone out for it being out of dress code. The distraction is not the dress code policy, it is the…

“Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?” The Flaming Lips has left this lyric embedded in the hearts of many people, but not everyone realizes this basic knowledge of human existence. There is a vast number of fundamental themes of our human existence that are not acknowledged, but is present in literature throughout history in every culture. Myths are fictional stories use metaphors to present and explain a mystery in the world—the source of study for human nature. They convey…
