The Real Housewives of New York City- I’ve probably turned off several readers just by mentioning trashy reality TV, but, to quote BRAVO’s Andy Cohen, “here’s what…” This season was awesome. I consider myself a bit of a Housewives connoisseur, and there was a bit of everything that makes a stellar season. There needs to be drama to keep the show from getting dull, but there wasn’t anything super heavy, which I loved. The return of Bethenny had me super pumped because I love her smart, sassy commentary that is usually right on the money. The cast members who have been around for years were each experiencing a new beginning, which felt more honest to me and also provided tons of entertainment. I mean, LuAnn’s “Be cool…” line, was epic as far as I’m concerned. The mix of the veterans with some of the newer cast members was fun to watch. And, to be honest, they seemed to have a blast together, despite the intermittent fighting.
Lasting Line Eyeliner- I like cosmetics, but with young children and a love of sleeping until the last minute, my makeup routine is pretty simple. I like to spice it up a little bit for a night out on the town, but my typical go-tos are bronzer, eyeliner, and a little mascara. Because most of my products are hand me downs from my mom, I’ve tried many different brands of eyeliners. There are none I would say I dislike, and there are several that I thought worked really well, but there is one in particular lately that I’m loving. Lasting Line long-wearing eyeliner by bareMinerals. I never take my makeup off at night, and I wear so little that mine has usually worn off my morning, but this stuff is no joke. I’ll shower when I wake up and go to put my makeup on and will still have miraculously smudge free, lined eyes. It goes on easily and consistently, and I just love it.
Hot Fries- I cannot believe that I have written a few posts about my obsessions without mentioning my ultimate guilty pleasure-- hot fries! These things are the balls. They are nice and hot so I can’t eat them as fast as regular chips, which is great because chips are a big weakness for me. The crunchiness is perfect for the munchies; and, at 99 cents a bag, you can’t beat the price. What I especially love is that even if I binge and eat the whole bag, it’s a bit over 400 calories. That’s a lot, but eating a bag of Doritos or other chips will set you back a lot more than that. The best part is that I’m the only one in my house who eats them, so it’s a snack I never have to share (or hide).
Whine About It Wednesdays- Don’t tell Dave, but I have found my soulmate, and his name is Matt Bellassai. Matt is a BuzzFeed employee, who has become well known for weekly videos where he gets drunk and his desk and complains about stuff. I actually enjoy his videos so much that I only allow myself to watch a couple of new ones at a time because I don’t want to run out and get depressed. Somehow I feel like oh-so-quirky Matt would totally get that. Some of my favorite episodes feature rantings and ramblings about co-workers, roommates, and the worst people to text with. Check him out; you’ll thank me later.
