watch: Bob’s Burgers
I don’t really watch a lot of animated series. When I was younger, I loved “The Simpsons” and there are certain episodes of “Family Guy” that I will stop to watch when it’s on. I was always aware of FOX’s animated comedy series, “Bob’s Burgers”, but I never made the time to watch it. Enter … Continue reading
eat: Stroopwafels
If you have never tasted a stroopwafel, you need to drop everything you’re doing right now, and find a way to change that. This delicious Dutch cookie is basically a caramel syrup sandwiched between two thin sweet waffle cookies. Be warned: these treats are insanely addictive. I have trekked through snow and rain specifically just … Continue reading
wear: Jaime King’s Style
I remember back in the late 90s early 200os, I had a weird obsession with actress/model Jamie King. I can’t remember how it started, but my obsession with her has yet to die down. Being a model is probably where she honed her enviable street style, but something tells me that her style is innate. … Continue reading
explore: Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
It’s very rare that a museum’s architecture gets as much attention as the art it holds, but when you recruit famed architect Frank Gehry, it’s bound to happen. Located in Bilbao, Spain, this important piece of architecture is home to some of the art world’s most influential pieces such as Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, … Continue reading
live: Quote Wall
My inspiration for this suggestion came from a somewhat unlikely source: Washington Redskins’ backup quarterback Kirk Cousins (off topic, but how handsome is he?) He has a wall of handwritten quotes that he sticks to his wall and over time, it has become a collage of inspirational quotes. It can be as simple as writing … Continue reading
appreciate: Jaeyeol Han
It’s funny how we as people can look at a person, a place, a thing (a noun basically) and see completely different things. In South Korean artist Jaeyeol Han’s portrait paintings, he allows the viewer to see not only the subject’s face, but the feelings that lies beneath it. Han’s paintings blur the lines between … Continue reading
listen: Jenny Lewis “Completely Not Me”
If you caught the one hour season premiere of HBO’s “Girls” last Sunday, my song suggestion for the week will sound very familiar. During the closing credits of the episode titled “Truth or Dare”, singer Jenny Lewis’ new single, “Completely Not Me” played loudly and boisterously, the perfect way to end an episode where … Continue reading
wear: 2014 SAG Awards Red Carpet
The SAG Awards aired last night and it was the final of three awards shows of the week. It’s extremely exhausting as a viewer to watch all these ceremonies, so I can only imagine how taxing it is for the attendees to wear amazing designer gowns every other afternoon. Based on the red carpet looks, … Continue reading
wear: 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards Red Carpet
The 2nd of three award shows that air this week only, the Critics’ Choice Awards, aired last night. This award show is like the People’s Choice expect the nominees and winners are based on merit, not popularity, which is something I appreciate. Another thing I also appreciated last night was the red carpet. Lupita Nyong’o … Continue reading
drink: Moscow Mule
In an attempt to move away from my signature drink, vodka tonic, at a recent outing, I was feeling adventurous and ordered a classic Moscow Mule. I instantly fell in love with the mix of vodka, ginger beer and lime, so much so that I even drink ginger ale now with a splash of lime … Continue reading
wear: 2014 Golden Globes Red Carpet
The Golden Globes aired last night, and while I was off on most of my predictions ( as much as I love her, still in shock that Jennifer Lawrence bet Lupita Nyong’o!), I was correct that the red carpet would not disappoint. The list of nominees alone could have been a clue that we were … Continue reading
watch: 2014 Golden Globes (with Predictions)
Tonight’s the night! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are back hosting the 2014 Golden Globe Awards and if their performance last year is any indication of what to expect tonight, it’s bound to be absolutely hilarious. I’m not as caught up on as many nominated films as I would like to be, but here are … Continue reading
watch: The Wolf of Wall Street
If Leonardo diCaprio says jump, I say where, when, and how high. I have seen a majority of his films and I have rarely finished one of his movies and felt disappointed. The winning streak continues with the biopic,”The Wolf of Wall Street”. The Academy Award nominee (I think winner would sound much better … Continue reading
