How did die become kick the bucket, underwear become unmentionables, and having an affair become hiking the Appalachian trail? Originally used to avoid blasphemy, honor taboos, and make nice, euphemisms have become embedded in the fabric of our language. Euphemania traces the origins of euphemisms from a tool of the church to a form of gentility to today's instrument of commercial, political, and postmodern doublespeak. As much social commentary as a book for word lovers, Euphemania is a lively and thought-provoking look at the power of words and our power over them.Binding Type: Hardcover

Subtle but gorgeous
Color: Golden
I’d buy it just for the perfume bottle - just adorable.
The glitter is light and gives a delightful shimmer on skin and hair. Not saying exactly how old I am but I remember the 80s…if you older and just want some sparkle THIS IS IT. It’s light cover and sheen is just enough to add some glam without looking like you’ve just come off the pole… If you are heading in that direction just use an extra couple of puffs of glitter and you go girl… Will likely buy more colors, so fun!

Love This Shimmer Spray!
Color: Silver
Absolutely love this glitter spray!
I bought this for a party and it worked even better than I expected. The glitter is super fine and gives a beautiful, high-end shimmer without looking chunky or cheap. The spray nozzle is really easy to use and distributes the shimmer evenly on both hair and skin.

Shine bright!
Color: Golden
Shimmer is brilliant. It stays on longer if you add lotion to "seal" it in place. Small enough that it am not afraid it will hurt my eye if some gets in. Bonus that it has a refill. Bottle is super cute and glass.
