Five Things: Grammys Edition

Okay, so it is a little late, but I just finished watching the Grammys last night.  And I don't care who won what.  I'm simply here for the performances and fashion.  Y'all, I have just FIVE things to say:

1.  Lady Gaga, my dear your body is effin' kick ass.  It makes me want to get back in shape and dance.  However, you have upped the- umm, how do I say this nicely- odd factor.  I wasn't really impressed by the whole egg/womb/incubation thing.  I've given birth to a child, I know how it works, I didn't need to see your interpretation.  Kthx.  Oh, and by the way, in regards to your black outfit, I think the Booty Pop is supposed to be worn under your clothes.  But kudos for trying on out anyway!

2.  I love you and your sparkly head and big peacock wannabe look, Cee Lo!  Oh, how I love it.  You made me laugh.  And you certainly seemed to be enjoying yourself.  Almost in a drug-induced way, but whatevs.  No judgement.

3.  Gwyneth, bless your heart girl.  You looked so uncomfortable in those heels.  Maybe you should have taken it down a notch before you considered crawling around on that piano.  I am certain you could have done better.  Afterall, you were super awesome on Glee.  Smoochies!  Mean it!

4.  Katy Perry, I really liked the wedding video.  It was sweet.  And I wanted to dance when you were singing Teenage Dream, even though I'm kind of sick of that song.  You are so stinkin' cute.  Even in your Armani "My Boobs Now Have Wings Dress."

5.  Mick Jagger, I was a little concerned that you came out right after they did the "In Memory" piece.  Did that bother you at all?  Anyway, you shake it like you are giving it away for free.  And you are pretty badass.

Honorable mention goes to Nicole Kidman.  How freakin' cute is she?  Singing along and dancing and just being so cute.  Oh, and Justin Bieber for having ninjas in his performance.  It kind of took the attention away from his "Would You Like To See A Wine List" white hotmess of an outfit.

I just don't have the time, nor the inclination to delve into the rest of the fashion.  A lot of the guys looked frumpy (bad hem lines) and a lot of the females looked like strippers (self explanatory).  One more thought on that subject- Nikki Minaj.  NO.  And that is pretty much all I have to say about that, just NO.  Follow me on Twitter (@ajakz) if you want my opinion on such happenings in the future!  

Five Things I Must Have at Work

I love these things and must have them every.single.day.  If one of these items is missing from my day, I totally can't function.

1.  Lip Gloss.  I love it.  I need it.  It gets me through the day because even though I'm at work I can feel pretty. 

Burt's Bees Lip Balm, MAC (Plus Luxe), Cover Girl Fruit Spritzers (Raspberry Splash)

2.  Hand Sanitizer.  Because, duh.



3.  Gum.  Doesn't really matter what kind, but clearly I prefer these little Ice Breakers Ice Cubes things.

Ice Breakers Ice Cubes (Wintergreen Splash and Mango Kiwi Cooler)

4.  Aveeno Hand Lotion.  Anytime I have to deal with lots of paperwork it makes my hands feel gross.  This makes them all better.

5.  I would really love to drink coffee all day, but I think our office coffee pot is gross.  So I drink green tea instead.  AND I found this awesome Candy Cane green tea.  It is pretty good and definitely festive!

Celestial Seasonings (Candy Cane Lane) and Lipton Green Tea

Are you bored to tears yet?  This is right up there with those "what's in your purse" games.  Blah.  Sorry people, but there is a lesson to be learned here.  Sometimes life, much like this post, sucks.  You have to take the good with the bad, right?

Hopefully, overall you find good.  In your life and in my blog. 

And, as if you could forget, we have a giveaway going on!  A $35 gift certificate to Shining Stones!!!  There is a gorgeous Smoky Swarovski Crystal ring that I will be purchasing as a Christmas gift to myself right after Christmas.  I can't wait! 

There are not too many entries right now, and I'm sure y'all would like to keep it that way because it increases your odds of winning, right?  Well, from now until I draw on Monday, any new follower who names you as the one who pointed them in my direction will gain YOU an extra entry. 

Happy Friday, y'all!

Five Things I Can't Live Without

*I'm referring to material things.  Obviously, this does not include my family, my dog, or my shoes.

1.  Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer:  Smells great and feels even better!

2.  Ouchless Rubberbands:  As soon as I walk in the door in the evenings, my long hair goes in a ponytail.  It stays this way much of the time, unless I'm actually getting dressed to go somewhere.

3.  Yellowtail Wine:  My "every day" wine.  Not expensive and comes in massive size bottles.  I prefer the cabernet-merlot or the pinot grigio.

4.  Rainbow Hemp flip flops:  I love my leather Rainbows, but the hemp are my new faves.  The lighter color just looks really nice and they are less expensive- score!

5.  MAC Bronzer in Golden:  I love looking like I have a little bit of sun on my face and this totally does the trick.

**I am obviously not being paid to promote these products.  I just like 'em.
