Lost And Found.

If you have ever been to Europe, you know there are certain things you have there that you will never be able to find in America. Well when I lived in Italy, I was obsessed with Labello chap stick. I had them in about 5 flavors and put them on fiendishly. When I returned back home, my stock ran out quickly and I was beyond devastated using regular ol Carmex. After some online digging, I have found a site online that sells several versions of it. My personal fav's are the strawberry and passionfruit. They hydrate and leave the most gorgeous color sheen. At $8 a pop, they are definetly more expensive than in the markets of Italia, but it is totally worth it in my opinion.

Freida Pinto. If you haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire, you must live under a rock or just be really lame. Although she says roughly seven words in the movie, I just loved Freida Pinto in the film. She is so gorgeous and I thought she killed it during awards season. She's also set to star in the new Woody Allen movie, which I'm sure will be fantastic. On another note, I sooooooooo wish she and Dev Patel (Jamal in the movie) would date in real life. They remind me of an Indian version of Barbie and Ken....perfection.

My friend Brian has introduced me to the best website EVER......fmylife.com. We all have those cringe worthy moments, and this website is a forum to rant to the world about them. The simplicity of this site is pure genius. I love how every comment ends with FML. I have spent a good hour laughing out loud at other people's lives and its extremely validating (particularly when you're hungover being a piece on the couch). No matter how bad you may feel, this website will cheer you up and give you and your shambly life validation. I can picture several of my friends reading entrys and going "Well at least Im not that guy......"

Here are 2 of my personal F My Life Favs...

Today, I tasted the rainbow. By that, I mean a homeless man hit me in the face with a bag of Skittles for not giving him money. FML

Today, I walked past a church with a bunch of people standing outside waiting for the bride and groom to walk out. When the church doors opened, I yelled congratulations as loud as I could. It was a funeral. FML

Unreal.

This rock remix of Lady Gaga's club banger Just Dance is a must have on your workout playlist. For real, download it, get your ass on a treadmill and see what happens.

A Real O.G.

I am completely and utterly obsessed with Gangland on the History Channel. If you haven't watched it, you are soooo missing out. I literally watched a marathon of it for roughly 7 hours one day. For some sick reason I am fascinated by organized crime and seeing different forms of it all over America is so over the top. One thing this show does confirm however is that all modern gangs are just a horrible knockoff of the Italian Mafia. Seriously.....Capone, Gotti, Castellano...they knew what was up. Trust me friends, spend one hung over Saturday watching this show and you will be hooked.

E is for....

Eco-Consciousness. It's just too stupid and lazy not to be green these days. Anyone who knows me is aware of my constant strive to be more eco-friendly. If I had it my way I would eat local, drive hybrid and recycle everything that ever passed through my hands...but life gets busy and those things become harder and harder to accomplish. So what's the answer? Start small. Step one is to change out your old lightbulbs to energy-efficient ones...I'm sure you've seen the ads that reveal if 100 million Americans made the switch it would equate to removing 700,000 cars worth of greenhouse gases from the air. Step 2? Stop buying bottled water and start bringing an aluminum bottle and refilling it. I just purchased this one from Target and it is fantastic. Finally, for the love of God bring a canvas bag with you when you shop. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide and they are not biodegradable. It's completely up to us to save dear ol' Mother Earth, so let's not let her down. For more eco-conscious tips, visit ecoki.com or greendaily.com.

Blushing Bride.

This weekend this altered version of SJP's gorgeous wedding dress in the Sex and the City movie went on sale at Net-a-Porter.com and sold out almost immediately. I loved the original Vivienne Westwood dress Carrie wore in the film (sans feather applique of course) and think this shorter version is a fresh take on the dress. Too bad you would have to weigh 75 pounds for that dress not to make it look like you were wearing a silk burlap sack though. Good thing Net-a-Porter has an entire Wedding Boutique, and you can peruse through it and find the designer dress of your dreams. Aaaannnd here is the link!
