Wearable Wang.
















We all know Vera Wang is THE wedding guru of choice, but she has expanded her resume to include ready to wear clothes and jewelry. Her uber affordable line for Kohls has some truly badass pieces that can be worn everywhere from a wedding to happy hour. I particularly love this necklace (which I would wear with a long white tank and Boyfriend Blazer), these earrings, bracelet and cocktail ring.

Med e Tate.


We've already discussed the amazing powers of meditation, but what about Med e tation? With summer heat reaching its max...you will definitely need these towelettes. Just swipe them under your arms, or wherever you tend to sweat....and tada....complete dryness. Most people get botox shots to eliminate excessive sweating, and of course, leave it to the genius line DermDoctor to formulate a less expensive and painful alternative. Become a dry diva and get yourself some Med E tate here.

Fro-Sho.


This is may-jah trouble for me. A Fro-Yo has just opened up mere steps from my apartment. This paradisio is the home to the frozen yogurt du jour...... aka the non-fat 100 cal per serving masterpiece that I cannot stop eating. I load my fat free vanilla with fresh strawberries, blueberries, bananas, kiwis and pecans to get my daily fruits in. They weigh it, so your price varies but it is usually around the 4 or 5 dolla mark. Its fresh, fun and healthy.....my friend Lauren and I go there at least twice a week after a faux game of tennis. So in conclusion, this place is a god-send.....and I am chillin in heaven.

Show Me The Money.


Theres only a few things that I really, truly excel at. The first, as I recently discovered at a family BBQ is Hula Hooping. The second is winning at Cash Cab. I watch as Ben Bailey ever so eloquently asks question after question and nine times out of ten, I know the answer. Maybe its my journalism background that allows my head to contain such a vast quantity of useless knowledge, but moral of the story? I need to get on that show. I find myself screaming "Franklin Roosevelt!" or something to that extent at the gym when I tune in. And trust me, I do not need any reason to draw attention to myself mid-treadmill run so this has to stop. Some of the people on that show are soo incredibly lame and dumb. Ok how do you not know who JK Rowling is? Have you been living under a rock since 1999?? And the eps where there is only one person in the car? So not appealing Discovery Channel. Go with the groups....always.

So how do I make some side cash and dazzle America with my trivia skills? After some research, here is what I discovered. Apparently its all staged, and I just have to hang out at particular NYC bars.....check out this first hand account. So until then I will have to just have to spend my nights playing this Cash Cab drinking game. Not a bad alternative if you ask me.

HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Really?


I heard Kings of Leon's 'Use Somebody' on the radio today. My only question? What took so damn long for the mainstream media to pick up on these guys?!?!

This is one of those rare albums that you listen to in its entirety...every song really is that good. I am shocked that they are just NOW getting some of the recognition they deserve.

Green Party Machine.


There are very few things in life that give me more excitement than getting an invitation to a party. I love stationary and I think invitations give parties such a formal feel, even if it's just a casual BBQ. Plus, your bulletin board looks so much more inviting when filled with cheery and creative nods to your social life. As much as I love official party invites, as usual, I am always looking for ways to be more eco-friendly and reduce my carbon footprint. Well lets be honest, E-vites are less than desirable....they can be kind of generic and frankly...ugly. I have the solution to all your invitational problems! It's called Paperless Post, and it is the cutest website. You sign up to be a member, design your own online invitations and announcements and create personalized envelopes. Choose different fonts, colors and graphics to create a customized look. You can monitor the RSVPs online to track who will becoming to your rockin shin-dig. The best part? The email comes in a fantastic envelope that your guest has to open. Quick, easy and green....my type of website. Check it.
