There’s all types of love in the world but there’s nothing better than puppy love. Especially when you’re kissed by the University of Connecticut’s mascot Jonathan the Husky. Only a little over a year old, the adorable black and white pup has captured our hearts while instilling fear in both snowmen and our enemies. As Jonathan the Husky is still fairly young, he’s slowly being acclimated to large crowds and can’t always be found at every sports event. It was almost a…
So I know shampoo doesn’t relate at all to the theme of my website, but how can I say no to trying out new hair products? I will admit that I had some trepidation about trying Pantene products after my previous experience with Pantene’s Sheer Volume conditioner. Although it was an excellent conditioner in that it didn’t weigh my hair down, it wasn’t very good at restoring moisture to my hair. Review Everybody does it. You’ll spend an hour in the shampoo…
As if we needed another reason to hate Monday’s, according to TED speaker David McCandleless they‘re the m. He also mentions that someone is more likely to break up in the winter, compared to the spring or summer months. Duh! With cold weather trapping you indoors, constant close contact can really bring out the worse in people. If the constant fraying of your nerves caused you to call it quits this winter, there’s a couple of things you’ll need to help you get…
I’m fully aware that Valentine’s is more than a month away, and most guys don’t start worrying about it till February 1st, but for anyone who wants to surprise their significant other with more than just a box of plastic-wrapped Russell Stover’s and gas-station roses, take note! Don’t get me wrong, flowers and chocolates on Valentine’s Day are a wonderful gift, but why not give your S.O. something that they’ll actually enjoy eating? I’m lucky enough to be friends with two…
My boyfriend’s mother is a huge fan of PBS, and it was while I was eating my New Year’s Day breakfast, that I watched a special on Highclere Castle with her. Highclere Castle is the backdrop for the popular British drama Downton Abbey. The PBS special, narrated by the current Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, discussed all the renovations and maintenance required to keep the castle in good shape. The Earl often stated that maintaining Highclere is a full-time job, but it helps…
Later today I’m meeting up with an old high school friend at Panera. Of course, we could always go to the bar next door instead, but as we used to race to Panera for cinnamon crunch bagels and hazelnut cream cheese before band practice, it’s without question that we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Chad, the Panera employee that regularly served and flirted us, could count on us being there by 2:15 every Tuesday and Thursday, provided we didn’t get stuck…
Come Christmas, Father’s Day, or birthdays, I find that the hardest people to shop for are the men in my life. It always seems like guys already have everything they want (with the exception of an even bigger and better TV), or are just more comfortable living without it. Honestly, unlike girls who typically want things, the best gifts for guys are burgers and beer. As a six pack of beer is somewhat difficult to wrap, and the clanking of…
With Christmas only a half a month away, if you haven’t already started, now’s the time to start shopping for any last minute gifts or stocking stuffers you might need. I myself can be caught shopping a few days before Christmas, but my brother is notorious for going shopping Christmas Eve night. As you know, my old college room mate became a Mrs. this past October. To celebrate her and her husband’s…
In the spirit of my trip to NYC tomorrow (when I’ll finally get to wear my new outfit!), I felt the need to post about some unique accessories that your favorite vino would love. I would post about Cronuts, but then the only thing I’d be writing about is how one should offer it with a glass of milk and another Cronut (and another and another and another!) I know they’re terrible for the environment, but sometimes, catalogs are the…
If you’re like me, everyone in your house is over the age of 20. It means a better stocked liquor cabinet, but a notable disappearance of PopRocks and dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets from the pantry. Most importantly, no one is there to wake you up early Christmas Day. I must confess, that being the youngest, I was the one responsible for everyone’s early morning wake-up call, but who could sleep when there was a pile of presents waiting downstairs?! This year, when I knock…
