"Drop The World"- Live At Grammy's



Bleep bleep ba bleep bleep bleep...other than half their verses that they bleeped, sick performance.

Daily Dip: Amber Heard

Alright, WTF "DaBigDirty", I honestly just checked you're blog and you have the same fuckin chick! I already wrote this entry and had it scheduled for tomorrow, so f it i'm leaving it cause mine's better anyways- huff a fatty)




Introducing Amber Heard, a 23 year old actress from the Lone Star State.  Amber is no longer a-lone-star, as she's been stealing the show in recent flicks(Zombieland, Never Back Down, Pineapple Express, Alpha Dog).  Chick's only 23 and she's already getting topless in movies!  I dig the style Amber and i'll pre-order my subscription for Playboy cause we damn well know you're intentions of moving up the red light ladder...

Use Caution in the Cubicle(UCIC): Amber Heard gets nakey in 2008 movie "Informers".  

P.S.  Brunette or Blonde?

Drizzy, Weezy, and Shady Perform "Forever" at 2010 Grammy's

Is This Dude Serious?

Is this dude serious?  Yes, I said DUDE, as in a MAN was driving! I can't say I understand this bro's style on this one.  Last time I checked, dudes in NH don't drive around in pink caddy's on route 101.  The only plausible explanation for this would be if he was gambling in Vegas and pulled a "Rusty",
"Rusty: Well, four slot machines and I won four cars. You know, I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car."
Even giving this douche the benefit of the doubt, I still wonder if this homosexual act pulls in the pink?  And if I ever won a pink car in Vegas I'd probably pawn it off to a fine ass call girl in exchange for lifetime ZJ's in a penthouse suite at the Wynn.

What's the verdict freshies? On a scale of 1 to this dude should be castrated, should this dude be castrated?

Someone get me a damn JACK CHOP!!!!

Here's a spoof made to the hit infomercial "Slap Chop" by some local Masshole. A targeted pitch to anyone with pumpkin carving problems. Not sure how people outside of Boston take this, but for every Bostonian, this is a must watch... especially for those who want to be "the baddest dude in REVERE".

A Little More Shopping- Rosettes, Stila and American Eagle Denim

Well, I pretty much think the picture above says it all. Baby pink. Rosettes galore. I told my husband the sweater was the epitome of who I am as a person. LOL. I got it today at The Limited for (gasp!) regular price. I just loved it too much. The rosettes are large, so a simple camisole is all you need under this pretty sweater. It is crop length. Love it. I can also see it being adorable with pearls.
Baby and nude pinks are supposed to be big for spring, so I'm glad to have gotten a great pink piece to start the season off right! My second purchase was this pretty blouse from Macy's. I believe it was $25.00. It is sheer, so I'll have to wear a camisole under it. I really like the geometric style pattern. It was in the juniors section, which surprised me. Chloe from The Chloe Conspiracy always wears the "Artist" jeans from American Eagle, which look really cute on her, so I popped into AE today to try them on. I know I've been whining about how much I ate on vacation, but I guess I am OK because I was able to get a size 4 (long) jean, which I've never gotten from there before. Here they are: I don't have a pic of me wearing them yet but they fit great. AE jeans tend to stretch like crazy, so the snug fit of them now is perfect. They cost $39.50 which is great for denim. I also stopped by at Sephora to make an exchange, and picked up this cream lip/cheek color by Stila called "petunia." It's a pretty bright pink/peachy color. I've never used cream blush, but I've tried it on my lips already and love it.

The swatch above shoes the pretty warm pinky color. It was kind of a random buy, but I love it. I will try it on my cheeks this week, and report back!

Other than our little shopping trip (my DH got a few things too), today has been a pretty high-energy day.

I once again purged my closet of older clothes I never wear to donate to charity. Then I cleaned and organized to my heart's content.
This is my workout clothes drawer!

I want to actually make a Flip video of how I organize my closet, but it needs a little more work before I do that. I need more drawer dividers too.

I also want to thank each and every one of my readers in this entry for being a follower. Today I reached more than 300 followers, so I'm going to celebrate with a contest. I'm actually not certain what the prizes will be yet...I'll have to take a trip to Ulta and see what goodies I find!


Tonight, I will use my Calrisonic for the first time...very excited!

I also have an awesome Motivation Mondays post for tomorrow.


What did YOU buy this weekend? anything exciting? Thanks for sharing your comments with me!


xoxo,

Veronika.

I Got It (Clarisonic) & Other Weekend Buys (Oh, and My Hair Cut)

Well ladies, I finally got it! I went and bought the Clarisonic Mia at Sephora with my 10% VIB discount. I got the pink one. I got the Mia because I like the size of the Clarisonic itself, and the charger takes up less space. Since it is the same brush head, I hope to get awesome results.

I have a strategy for my Clarisonic use. I pray I won't go through a purge period, so to avoid it, I am starting off slow. I am not going to use it twice a day (or even once a day) and I am going to use it only on my non breakout areas (so I'll use it on my forehead, nose and cheeks, and avoid my chin and jaw.)

I will give updates as I use it. I can't use it tonight because it has to charge for 24 hours first. So Sunday will be my first Clarisonic cleaning day.

Here is a pic of my Mia, right next to my Sonicare toothbrush:

Before I get to the rest of my purchases, I'll show you lovely ladies my new haircut. Today was hard because I actually had more cut off than I had planned to. I love it though. I needed it. Basically, my hair was so damaged and snapping off, that my "length" at the back of my hair was actually just the longest part of my hair that hadn't broken off yet, so it kind of formed a "V" at the back. When my hairdresser showed me in the mirror, I was like, just cut it off. David talked me through what he would do, I took at deep breath, and off we went to the washing sink.

I really love how much lighter it feels, and how he took the front layers up shorter. Now keep in mind, this is hair I've been running errands with all day, and laid on the couch with for hours before I took these pics (watching the last episodes of Season 2 of True Blood: love love love):

Here is a shot of the length so you can see how far it goes down my back now:

Here are some more shots of the layers:

Anyways. I really like it. It's a bit shorter, but it's healthier and softer.

I've made a new commitment to myself this year. I want to focus on making everything the best it can be. Taking better care of my hair, skin and body. I want to take my vitamins regularly and just focus on keeping my skin in great condition. Next on my list is a Vitamin C serum for my skin.


Now onto my purchases. My friend Heather (who got married on the beach) wore these gorgeous earrings on her wedding day from Swarovski. I had to have them. Not only are they oh-so-pretty, but they are exactly like my engagement ring! It is the same look of a round center stone with pave around it. Love them. They are the style called "Angelic." They retail for $75.00. I told my husband they were his Valentines day gift to me, and he said I ruin surprises. I think he meant to say "thanks for making gift-giving so easy."


Love them.

I also got this great final sale skirt from Ann Taylor today. It has an awesome animal-print-like texture (and we all know how much I love animal prints). It was $39.98...originally $120, which obviously I wouldn't have paid for it.


I was once again disappointed with my trip to Forever 21. The stock just wasn't great today. I tried about 7-8 things on, and bought one top. It's just a simple pink and black striped top, for $10.80.
It looks kind of shapeless, but it is really nice on. It's actually one of those tops I picked up thinking "this could be very good, or very bad." For $10.80, there wasn't much to lose.

You know I can't resist a Victoria's Secret coupon, so when I got one in the mail for a FREE lacie panty (they are my fave!) and $10 off of any bra, I was sold.

I got this cute animal-print bra for $24.50.

Here it is on VS model Miranda Kerr:

I love her. So pretty. Speaking of Miranda Kerr, how awesome is this recent pic of her ( I believe it's from GQ):

I love her hair...kind of actually reminds me of how mine is now (the length and layers.)

Back to shopping... I got this cute workout headband for $1.50 at Forever 21:

Yes, I wear headbands with bows on them to work out. I still like to have cute accessories. Plus, this one has little teeth in it to really hold hair back.

My final purchase was this awesome bracelet from Forever 21 for $7.50. It looks a lot like some of the ones I've seen at J. Crew and Ann Taylor for $80-$100.

It is much more sparkly and awesome in real life. Very happy to have gotten such a great deal on an accessory I've had my eye on for awhile.

That's all for today ladies. As always, thank you for reading and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below!

'Up Out My Face' Music Video- Mariah Carey ft. Nicki Minaj

This video is absolutely ridiculous. For a second I thought it was going to climax with them dry humping the shit out of each other, but instead they just cheers a glass of bubbly wearing one of their many skanky mcskank halloween costumes.

Hardcore Parkour

Shouts to baby bro on this one, kid knows how to keep it fresh parkour style!

*New* Sam Adams(Wiz)- "You Girl"

Here's a fairly new joint by Sam Adams(Wiz)...don't believe it's one of the new one's we've been hearing about, but new to my ears so i'll share it with ya'll.

Brian Scalaguido Agrees to Spray Tan

"NBA All-Star Weekend is two weeks away but the hearts and minds of Boston Celtics fans will not be in Dallas but rather on a major event happen the week after.

Afte All-Star weekend Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine will be making good on a bet by getting a spray tan.

The tan came about as part of Scalabrine’s weekly Wednesday appearance on the 
“Toucher and Rich” morning show on 98.5 The Sports Hub.  They wagered that if they could get Scalabrine 250,000 votes then he would agree to get a spray-on tan.

With the bet agreed upon, Toucher and Rich launched the “get that man a tan” campaign.  There were issues in the voting process as it was discovered that the write in votes may not be getting counted.  The show investigated but was never pleased with the outcome.

Last Thursday, January 21 when the All-Star votes were announced, The “King of Sports” personally wrote a letter to the “Toucher and Rich Show” apologizing for the issues with voting and announced that the grand total was 250,008 votes.

Upon hearing the results, Scalabrine agreed to officially get his tan.  After looking at the upcoming schedule, they agreed that he would be getting procedure on February 24, the day before a nationally televised Celtics/Cavilers game on TNT.

When he asked how dark the tan had to be third chair Crash Clark joked, “we’re talking Robert Downey in ‘Tropic Thunder.”
“Yea.  I guess if I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it once, do it right, do it big.” 
So here we have it guid's and guidettes, Boston's own Brian Scalabrine will be intimidating the shit out of the Cavaliers players and fans with a custom spray tan on February 24th. Scal is already ranked among the NBA's elite of ghostly intimidating figures, and with this slight pigment alteration, he clearly steals the #1 spot of most intimidatingly un-intimidating whiteys.  If you think about it, the NBA is lacking italian americans or "Guidos" per say, so this could result in an addition of an entirely new target audience, including the whole cast of the Jersey Shore.  Like always, Scal doing the "intangibles" to keep the fans happy. Exactly why he get's paid the big bucks ($3.5 milli).

Daily Dip: Leighton Meester



Introducing Leighton Meester, our 23 year old Actress, Singer/Songwriter, & Fashion Model who, apparently if you're a chick, is best known for her role in Gossip Girl.  Meester played 'Justine Chapin' in several episodes of Entourage, one of Vince's many dick ticklers, even while she was traveling the country on her "Virgin Tour".  Let me tell you first hand this chick is hard to find dirt on.  Her title of 'Fashion Model' puts a clear emphasis on the Fashion part, cause she apparently resists the temptation of dumping them out upon request.  Dig through the google vault if you so please, if not enjoy the "work healthy" pics above.

Back to the Swing of Things

I wish the title of my post was true! I expected to come back from vacation and get "right back into the swing of things" and that's just not happening.

Our Christmas tree is still up. Our house needs a deep cleaning. I actually DID do laundry, but there's more. Oh and my closet is also a mess again. Massive massive mess and disorder.

We have no groceries, we haven't cooked (I'm eating cheerios and wheat thins with peanut butter for dinner and gross lean cuisines for lunch.)


It's been nearly a week since we got back and I just haven't gotten it together yet.
I'm getting my hair done and shopping Saturday (because Lord knows I can't go a week without doing SOME kind of shopping- but at this point, it really should be groceries.)

My one accomplishment this week was actually going to pilates class tonight, where I felt so out of shape it was borderline embarrassing. At one point, the instructor said change levels if you're tired...I'm pretty sure he was referring to me.


So, what's the plan to get things back to normal? I'm going to knock it all out this weekend. If I don't, my entire next week will lag on like this one has, and another seven days will go by with everything out of whack, and I can't let that happen, because I will go nuts.


As many of you know, my husband lost his job last April, and this past Monday he started a new job. I am so happy for him and proud of him, but I will definitely admit it has been a massive adjustment for me, for us both. In addition to being away for a week on vacation, we came back to a situation that was a complete 180 from the last 9 months. I definitely have to learn to divide everything up again now that we are both working.

For example, I haven't done groceries since May. I might have to take on that duty again since I actually enjoy picking out what kind of food we buy. It was nice not to have that on my list though.


Sorry for the boring entry, they will be back to normal next week, when I feel some relief from the sudden changes and lack of consistency going on in my life right now.

I think I'm just one of those "needs to have a schedule" people.


Thanks for listening. Do you still have your tree up? I hope at least one person says yes.


xoxo,

Veronika.
PS- isn't her hair gorgeous? I love the way it's layered! Hair-trim inspiration!

Kid Nails 1/2 Court Shot Blindfolded


After watching this video a few times I debated whether or not this was staged and this chump could see through the blindfold yada yada yada. The real concern here is the size of this apparent high schooler. He resembles something similar to a Na'vi tribe member. Hey Joel, I'm calling you're bluff so sack up you're green card you white Danny Almonte!

"14-30 n' Gettin Worse...Arenas & Crittenton Suspended for Season"



As if the Wiz weren't already lubed and tubed enough for the season, Arenas & Crittenton suspended by David Stern for remainder of season.
"The Washington Post first reported the length of the Arenas suspension, and a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com that Arenas told Stern that he expected and deserved to be suspended for the rest of the season. It was unclear whether Crittenton also would decline to file an appeal.


"The NBA has conducted a thorough investigation of events relating to this matter," Stern said. "It is not disputed that, following an argument on the team's flight home from a game in Phoenix, both Mr. Arenas and Mr. Crittenton brought guns to the Verizon Center locker room and -- with other players and team personnel present or nearby -- displayed them to one another in a continuation of their dispute. The players engaged in this conduct despite a specific rule set forth in the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the Players Association prohibiting players from possessing a weapon at an NBA facility, and reminders of this prohibition given annually by the NBA to players both in writing and in person."

Lesson kids...don't bring gats to BBALL practice

I didn't think Soulja Boy could get worse...until now

This has to be the worst rap song in the history of worst rap songs right?  The worst part about this worst song is, I can almost guarantee the radio will be playing it within the next month. 3 year old's will be sitting at the high chair burping up Cheerios and screaming "Pretty boy swaggg, pretty boy swaggg." How is this dude not flipping burgers at BurgerWow.  Jesus, I wish I superman'd a hoe and got offered a deal.

"40/40"- Joe Budden ft. Royce Da 5'9"


Gladly I didn't breeze past this Slaughterhouse joint, because much respect is due to Royce Da and Budden here. Royce Da has a line about Boston, Rajon Rondo, & the Jersey Shore while Budden keeps it fresh with one-liners directed to Haiti, Book of Eli, Hells Kitchen, Darrelle Revis. Good to see they haven't lost it since their early days with Eminem.

Taking the Calrisonic Plunge & Other Updates

I think I'm finally going to do it (purchase a Clarisonic skincare brush.) I seriously cannot deal with my skin anymore. Today, after a LONG day of work that started with a 5 a.m. wake-up call, I glanced into my rear-view mirror as I was driving home and was horrified to see that my makeup somehow just looked awful, uneven, poorly blended, etc. I don't remember it looking so gnarly this morning, so I thought it must be because my skin is uneven and I haven't exfoliated in weeks, and over time the oils and other grossness just made it seep into my pores and smudge all over the place.

I've heard great things about the Clarisonic including its ability to even out skin, make products work better and reduce pore size.
It's a pricey investment, but after pondering the importance of healthy skin for awhile (prompted, no doubt, by my SPF-70 obsession while sunning myself) I think the investment is worth it to have great skin, since glowing, healthy skin is among one of the most desired beauty traits for most women.

My skin has just been feeling rough, uneven, red and blotchy etc. Of course, I can cover all of this up and make it look nearly flawless...but I don't want to have to do that, I'd rather just have skin that is as awesome as possible on its own. This isn't to say I don't want to wear makeup/a base, but I'd like to be able to not always wear a base and feel good about how my skin looks sans coverage.

Some girls have mentioned there are websites that sell the Clarisonic at a discount price...if you know what these are, please let me know. I might purchase from Sephora anyways, for the return policy and the points, but I'd love to know how they are priced elsewhere online or if you got a great deal somewhere. Feel free to let me know how you liked it in the comments as well!

In other news, I am seeing my lovely David on Saturday morning for a trim. Yep. I have re-evaluated the situation and I don't think it's that bad. I think I was just being a bit dramatic. I do want to have the layers reshaped and the ends trimmed up and possibly bring some of the layers up a bit, but I'd still like to keep the length, because I just love having long hair.

Please share your awesome-skin secrets, products and advice in the comments below!

xoxo,

Veronika.

Daily Dip: Gia Allemand



Introducing Gia from the Bachelor.  Gia, a model, is one of the remaining 8 or so broads fighting for Jake's cack n bolles.  I probably could have picked 90% of the chicks on this show, but for some reason Gia stuck out to me.  Yes she may be from the evil empire, but baby's got back.
