Ladies are finally starting to take their drinking seriously. Gone are the cosmos and in are whiskey sours. And I am so relieved (For my personal opinions on alcohol see this post).  Though I may not be able to hold my own in a scotch discussion beer is a whole other story. I spent a lot of the summer with a friend (aka The Brewmaster) who was brewing his own and heard endless stories about beer. The thing about beer is it’s easy to choose a brand (or the cheapest available) and stick with it forever. And that’s...

Our buddies over at TV Carnage just dropped a little gem into our laps: Let's Work It Out, a raunchy "workout tape". Let's Work It Out!!! <-- watch the preview here First let's talk about the DVD case - the cover is a Ken and Barbie couple wearing enough bodysuits and spandex to put Richard Simmons to shame. Inside this case is a 10,000 dollar "Hell Bank Note", a grey plastic bag in the chance one experiences "Motion Discomfort" during the video, and a TV Carnage postcard. Let's Work it Out includes all important parts to a proper...

Every woman's magazine since the beginning of time has given list after list of the "Top 3 Boyfriends"/ "Girlfriends"/"Doctors"/everythingelseever. Maybe it's because my mom had to make a rule that I couldn't ask what was for dinner until after lunch, or maybe that's just the norm (right?) but I've always veered on obseessed with food. All my friendships are and have been  totally based on compatibility and having a fun time, supporting each other blahblahblah. BUT if girl is going to be eating nothing but frozen chicken fingerss and granola bars it ain't gonna happen. These are the indispensable few...

It would be easy to write off SALEM as creepy goth-electro, witch house or 'rapegaze' as Pitchfork deemed it (and then took back).  It seems like some people did write SALEM off last year, as they were booed off the Fader Fort stage at SXSW.  One critic saying "it was bad". But have haters of the band kept the group down? Not at all, as John Holland from the group tells me, "There's not one thing where every person is gonna like it no matter what.  All good (or bad) things have to be felt by both extremes...

I really don't understand the hatred felt towards Valentine's day. I thought we were over the whole 1973 celebrating Christmas in October because then it won't be commercialized anger towards the man schtik. To me Valentine's is a mid-winter pick me up that gives the world permission to gorge themselves on chocolate, unnecessarily rich food and champagne. Obviously, like any woman, I'd rather be surprised with a bouquet of daisies out of no where, but I try not to expect these things from a boyfriend on a student budget.  Men on the other hand, hate Valentine's day because not only...

After weeks of unlimited indulgence, my own turkey neck is wobbling a bit more than I'd like to admit. Numerous times we hear someone sharing that they can have whiskey in their morning coffee or 4 pieces of pie followed by the explanation "it's the holidays" - which really isn't much of an excuse. Whether your doing it because you actually make New Year's Resolutions or because the muffin top on your jeans belongs in Texas, lightening up your diet come January is usually a good decision. As any form of strict regimen gives me flashbacks of teen angst and...

How a cleansing enema ensures the BEST body detoxification to help you live healthier and longer …naturally!! An Enema cleans up the colon and induces bowel movements. Enemas have been in practice from ancient time and helped to cure a lot of disorders like constipation, poisoning, acute headache, flu, common cold, meningitis, measles and a lot more. In pre-revolutionary France adapted enemas were used on a daily basis after dinner and were also considered good for skin complexion. This practice was considered as a good remedy for many diseases. However nowadays things are changing and people have forgotten the importance of...

There's a lot of reasons to buy organic. First, there are the ethical reasons - going organic can mean the animals (involved in producing that succulent piece of meat you see on your plate) will be treated in the most respectable way possible and that their life will be extinguished in the most painless and humane way. Second, environmental reasons - no chemicals are used and  (if any ) substances are used they will not be harmful to the environment. And there are the social reasons - like it or not, when you're in the supermarket people look more fondly...

Wikipedia Definition: Sunglasses or sun glasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can also function as a visual aid, as many glasses or "spectacles"  exist featuring coloured, polarized or darkened lenses. In the early 20th century they were also known as sun cheaters (cheaters being an American slang term for glasses). -Ray Ban Wayfarer: can neves go wrong

The Bad

Ok the summer ‘s here and you’re ready to finally embrace the sun and start the tanning sessions as  don’t deny it, everything looks better with a tan. Ok let’s get started! So what is sun protection? It’s basically protecting the body from the adverse effects of sunlight. Aside from the hazards of heat, the sun poses the danger of sunburn, which can permanently damage the skin and cause skin cancer, precancerous changes in the skin, as well as premature wrinkling and signs of aging. Exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun is a known risk factor for the development...

I did it. I survived 8 weeks of Booty Camp Fitness. Other than being incredibly sore from doing a double-class in the last week, you must be wondering how I feel. As some of the readers know, Anna Von and I have been having a little bit of a competition over who could lose the most weight (inches) and generally be more successful in our PinkMafia Health Month Challenge. Well, I didn't exactly achieve the "results" I wanted--I remember setting my goal for my 8-week plan as wanting to lose 5-8 pounds, an amount that I thought was pretty reasonable. I didn't lose...
