While I happily admit to being obsessed with much of what people would call trivial (makeup, teenage television, hockey scores), one of my true passions in life is reading. I grew up in a family of avid readers but still was able to try the patience of my Mom by sneaking flashlights into bed and [...]
If there’s one thing that Tyna and I are, it is beauty product obsessed. And obsessed is really putting it mildly. There’s very few people who can put up with a day of shopping beauty with the two of us. Most lightweights get that blurry look in their eyes about an hour in. T and [...]
Technically, maybe I should have titled this “I love romantic comedies” since they are not Stef’s cup of tea. But I know I’m not alone in admitting to the guilty pleasures of a good romantic comedy. I used to turn my nose up at the genre (and still hate the term “chick flick,” ironic, no?) [...]
I’ve always been thrifty. Always loved a good sale and have always been a thrift store shopper. I’m never impressed when someone tells me how expensive something was (yawn). But tell me how cheap something was, tell me how it was marked down 50% and you had a coupon for an additional 10% and you’ve [...]
Well, The holidays are pretty much over. As usual, they were a blur. So we’re going to take this time to remember our favorite holiday moments from 2008.
Stef’s picks: I loved the 30 Rock Christmas special. There’s always at least one repartee that I can’t stop thinking about. The gem from this episode…Liz: Jack, [...]
Yes, it’s true, we heart Duran Duran and we’re not afraid to admit it! We hope you all had a fabulous holiday and found something special under your Christmas tree. While the big day is behind us, we know that the days between now and the New Year are a bit of an internet dead [...]
We’re squeezing in one last post before taking a few days off to enjoy the season with our family and friends. If any of our readers are still in scrooge mode, we have a video or two to hopefully really get you into the Christmas spirit. (If the John Waters video doesn’t put a smile [...]
You’ve got 3 more days for Christmas music. If it’s played on Dec 26th, you’ll be arrested. Sorry, it’s a new law. So get listening while you can, and choose wisely. Here’s our picks of some worthy holiday tunes…
Stef’s picks:
Eartha Kitt Santa Baby
I love me some Madonna, but she butchered this song. Stick with [...]
Hopefully by now you’ve already tried our last cocktail of the month, the Honey Apple Martini. But ’tis the season for bubbly so we’ve got a new reigning champ. I found this recipe a few years ago at Epicurous, which they got from Bon Appetit (my new favorite magazine), and now it’s at [...]
Stef loves: dogs! The Daily Puppy site, especially this lil’ munchkin-French Bulldog Douglas, All Mighty’s adorable collection of everything Boston Terrier, like their Vampire Bat puff sleeve t-shirt and last, but certainly not least talking dogs.
Tyna loves: cats! At the risk of being branded a crazy cat lady, may I suggest [...]
