In Our Makeup Bag: SUPER by Perricone Hyper Hydrator with Coconut Water
SUPER by Perricone is a brand of skincare that incorporates different “super foods” into their products. The Hyper Hydrator “leaves skin soft to the touch and smelling sweet.

8 Things I Want for Chanukah: The SNL Edition
For Chanukah there are many things I want from stores around town or off my favorite sites online, but this year I’d prefer some things I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live. Who said TV isn’t educational? It’s taught me about my true wants and desires. (Besides number 4, but I’m trying to help you girls out there any way I can.)
Cosmo Says the Darndest Things: January Edition
I flew across some interesting factoids about how to boost his ego after sex. How does Cosmo want you to do it? Say, “That thing you do with your tongue is unbelievable!” Whew, I’m getting exhausted just thinking about this. But maybe it’s just been too long since I’ve had a popsicle.

Vodka Flavors that Will Make You Puke
When I go to a bar, my go-to cocktail is a vodka cranberry. PLAIN vodka with cranberry juice. Well lately there has been an “odd” vodka trend. I was fine when I saw Mango vodka, Raspberry vodka, and Grape vodka on shelves. Those could make some tasty mixed drinks. However, these vodkas are gross. I don’t know how anyone could drink bacon vodka or root beer vodka.

Literally the Most Annoying Words of 2011. For Real.
In a recent survey done by The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, “whatever” was voted as the most annoying word of 2011, followed by “like” and “y’know.” I understand why these words irritate many adults, but I was surprised that there weren’t more words and phrases chosen that surpassed the irritation levels of “whatever.” Where is “OH EM GEE” or “LOL”?
