So, I decided to do a 3-day Cooler Cleanse and here’s why. My first day was fun! Exciting! Refreshing!… And then day 2 hit me like a campus bus. (Sidenote: In college, one of our campus buses DID hit a student. WTF, right?) It was like the worst hangover of all time…only I couldn’t eat an egg and cheese bagel to make myself feel better.
Watch my video to see how I handled hours 25-48 of not eating….or leaving the house. Or doing anything at all, really. Well, besides de-toxing.
Come back tomorrow to see how I rounded out the weekend on my cleanse!
Tomorrow night you’ll pop your popcorn and plop down on the couch to see yet another award show. The Oscars. The Academy Awards. The best of the best in award shows. (Or at least they seem to think so.) But with all the hype surrounding award shows lately I can’t help but think a regular night at the Oscars might not hold up that well against some of the drama we’ve had surrounding our award shows lately.
Embarrassed celebrities?
Outraged actors?
How can the Oscars compete with that? Well, I have a few ideas…
1. Get Ricky Gervais to host. I know James Franco and Anne Hathaway already have this gig covered but I think it would be great if Ricky Gervais at least got the chance to speak. I mean the man’s been a social pariah since the Golden Globes and I think it’s time he and Hollywood bury the hatchet. Sure, the celebs may not be ready for another round of Ricky’s hard hitting humor but I most definitely am. These celebs need to learn to take a joke and the only way they’re going to get a thicker skin is if they’re exposed to the abuse over and over again. What…too harsh?
2. Someone needs to pull a Kanye. I think it would work best if this were to take place during the winner of Best Picture’s acceptance speech. Let’s say The Social Network wins. Someone should step up just as Scott Rudin is thanking the academy and declare that they’re going to let him finish but Inception is the best film of all time, and could Christopher Nolan please tell him if the whole thing was a dream or not now? Because it’s been driving him crazy for months and he needs answers! And so do I. Read More »
But more potent (i.e. lethal) than any of those things is Jungle Juice.
The mysterious drink without any kind of recipe that can be found in frat house coolers across America. Even though we never really know what’s in it, we always know we’re going to have a good night (and a HORRIBLE hangover).
We asked our Facebook fans for their favorite recipes and these were the best answers: Read More »
Hilary Duff wrote a book. Yes, not only does she sing, act, design clothe,s and generally rule the world, she has also decided to write books. That is a business-savvy girl if I’ve ever seen one. Total marketing genius. I was a bit hesitant when I picked this one up – even if her book was garbage, it would still get published and be a hot-seller, just based on her name. Despite my skepticism, I’ve decided that this year I’m going to be more open-minded when it comes to books and read something just because I think it looks/sounds good. And I am WAY too curious to see if Hilary Duff really can do it all.
“Elixir” is a teen fiction and is the story of Clea Raymond, a successful teen photo-journalist (yes, unlikely) and daughter of a famous senator. Her surgeon father has mysteriously gone missing in Brazil on a humanitarian mission and assumed to be dead and Clea is still coping with the loss. The book begins when she is in Paris with her best friend, Rayna. At the end of their trip, there is a fire in a building where Rayna is and Clea spots a strange man lurking around the scene. Rayna is unharmed in the fire and Clea is so distracted by her that she forgets about the man. However, when they return home, Clea takes a look at her pictures and notices that in each one, the strange man from the fire appears. Clea is shocked and finally shares this secret with her friend/bodyguard, Ben. But to Clea’s surprise, Ben isn’t shocked. It turns out that this mystery man has been showing up in photos long before this most recent trip: he’s been in photos of Clea since she was born. And Clea’s father has been trying to figure this out ever since. His search led him to the mythical Elixir of Life and it may be the missing link in his disappearance. This new discovery leads Clea and Ben on a journey to Brazil, to hopefully solve the mystery of his disappearance and also figure out who this man is and how he is linked to Clea.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Sure, paranormal teen fiction is having a bit of a moment right now thanks to Twilight, but I still liked the story and found it to be fairly unique. The character of Clea reminded me a lot of Hilary Duff: driven, determined, employed from a young age, etc. But she was well-developed and didn’t do anything shocking or out of character. And I also loved the chemistry between Ben and Clea. Sure, predictable, but he was a super cute, caring boy and made me go “Aww” more than once.

So, I decided to do a 3-day Cooler Cleanse and here’s why. And in this here video, you can see how my first day of cleansing/drinking/not chewing/not visiting my local Starbucks boyfriend barista went.
Surprising fact: I didn’t miss food nearly as much as I thought I would. I really wasn’t hungry at all. I also thoroughly enjoyed not having to make anything/do any dishes. You mean all I have to do is twist off a cap? I’m sold!
Come back tomorrow and Sunday to see how I managed through the weekend. While all my friends were out partying. And eating. And I was sleeping on my couch.
