What happened? Where has our favorite sex-kitten, gum-snappin, butt-shakin, tune-beltin’, blonde hottie pop princess gone? We’re tired of the vajayjay flashing, grungy extensions, creepy British accent, your even creepier paparrazo “lover,” and the all around craziness that seems to prevail wherever you go.
Girlfriend, snap out of it! You were the world’s most influential pop star and one of the most popular female international superstars - get your act together and take back that throne! Fix that poo-nasty hair, perhaps start taking zantrex (like way back when), and dress appropriately. And it wouldn’t hurt to start preppin’ for a majah comeback performance, to erase the horrible memory of this disaster.

Aww…remember those days?
We miss you…Team Brit!

I’ve done it; I’ve found the secret to wanting to keep working out! Buy a new swimsuit! Even though there is still snow on the ground, I bought one. What can I say, it was on sale. I was a little more adventurous this year. I usually will wear shorts over the swimsuit, or like last year, get a bottom that comes with a cute little skirt. But this year I got just regular bottoms. AHHH! Now that is scary. But I find that I definitely don’t want to miss a day of working out! I have a limited amount of time before summer hits, and I want to be ready and confident! So there you go; the amazing secret is revealed. Try it out. I bet it will work for you too!

Like every girl out there, I have certain “luxuries” that I simply cannot (or perhaps will not) go without. These include my addiction to Saks Fifth Avenue, True Religion Jeans, and Bumble and Bumble hair products. However, my bank account is growing slim and it would be nice to have some supplemental income to help pay for my needs - one that would not interfere with my current full-time job. So after doing a little research and asking some friends, I have come up with a list of possibilities…who knows, perhaps one would work well for you!
- Become a mystery shopper. Getting paid to shop? I know, it sounds too good to be true but believe it! Retail and restaurant corporations use mystery shopping companies (who in turn employ mystery shoppers) as a way to improve customer service. There are tons of companies out there to work for but unfortunately, a number of scams as well. Legitimate companies will never make you pay to be employed or “become a member.” Look for companies that offer an online application.
- eBay! I have a closet full of stuff that I am going to list on ebay…one man’s trash is another’s treasure!
- I have toyed with the idea of opening an online retail store using a dropship company. Imagine an online store that sold nothing but designer purses…just my kind of store!
- Since I love to write (and I was an English Language major in college), why not put my talent to good use? There are literally thousands of freelance writing and editing jobs available online…you just have to look.
- I have a friend who is an amazing amateur photographer. He loves taking photos and he sells them all online and makes pretty good money on the side. Do something where you can utilize a passion of yours.
Anyone have any cool ideas?

Every year I make new years resolutions in the hopes that I can actually continue them past the third week of January. This year is no different, however, I am determined (and I mean flat-out hell-bent) on keeping them. I have a lot of room for improvement (don’t we all?), so I figured I would begin with small and simple goals that I could easily conquer, beginning with an improved, healthy lifestyle. Now, lest you think this is not a “small” goal (which it isn’t), I have come up with a myriad of tiny steps which will hopefully result in my new objective. Perhaps you could do some of the following:
- I will give up diet coke! I cringe as I type those words and my little caffeine addicted brain cells are threatening to unleash a whollop of a withdrawal if I actually try to go through with this. But not even that cannot deter me; I drink diet coke like it’s going out of style and I have decided to finally Just Say No! to that sugar-saturated brown and bubbly liquid goodness that delivers nothing but a temporary caffeine jolt and a whole lotta empty calories. It’s just not good for you. I will be (hopefully) replacing my addiction with one that is quite a bit more healthy…such as water.
- I want to start taking a weight loss supplement, such as Akavar 20/50, to help kick-start my new and improved lifestyle. The supplement will help curb hunger so I can withstand the munchies that seem to strike everday at exactly 2:37 p.m. (anyone else seem to have that problem?).
- As of now, I only make it to the gym about twice a week (and that’s if I am feeling really motivated). Making the resolution to go to the gym five times a week would just be setting myself up for failure (realistic, right?), so instead I think I will start slow. Instead of two days a week, I will now go three. Baby steps…
- Flossing every night! I know it sounds silly but I am what you would call a “selective flosser;” it is something that is certainly not done on a regular basis and only gets accomplished when I am really feeling gung-ho about my dental hygiene. So I am going to floss every single night and swish with Listerine (I know, I must be nuts).
Well, that’s it for now. Like I said…baby steps! Now that I have shared a few of mine, what are a few of yours?

This season it’s all about the legs. Reminiscent of the 80s, tight leggings with tunic shirts or sweaters are very popular. Leggings, knee highs, and high socks in bright colors and traditional black are very stylish, and keep you warm as well.
Long-legged boots of all colors and shapes are also all the rage, and can easily be paired with skinny jeans or a skirt. If you want a dressier shoe than boots, go with some black Mary Janes with a pencil skirt.
As for color, purple, black, gray, and cobalt blue are the hottest colors of the season. Green and burnt orange paired with gray or black are also great fall colors. Animal prints are also coming back, so don’t forget to buy purses, shoes, and accessories in this fabric.
Don’t forget to add a little holiday glam by choosing a sequined shirt or bracelets for your next holiday party.
Anything relating to the 1920s is also in style, so don’t be afraid of hats and rounded silhouettes.
With these tips, you’re sure to look your best at every holiday event! And for a traditional look, you can’t go wrong with the little black dress.

As if I’m not stressed enough during the year, the holidays come around and amp up the pressure. Although the holidays should be a jolly time, I dread the annual Christmas shopping. I hate fighting the crowds, even if there are amazing deals the day after Thanksgiving on Black Friday.
I always worry if my hubby will like his gifts and draw complete blanks as to what presents the rest of my family will like. For instance, what am I supposed to ?@# get my new in-laws?
I’ve decided this year that I will cut back the stress. I’m doing most of my shopping online. I bought the rest of my presents on Black Friday in just a few short hours (in and out is my motto).
Although I love cooking, my annual Christmas party is going to be done by a superb Salt Lake City caterer that I used for my wedding.
And last by not least, I am sending out all my Christmas cards soon in one day, and making my husband help me do them. Luckily, we have pictures and cards already picked out and ready to go.
Anybody else have suggestions for making this year a stress-free holiday season? I’d love to hear your ideas!

Christmas is coming a little early this year! My husband and I absolutely adore little dogs (except oversized rats chihuahuas – not a big fans). So for Christmas this year, we purchased a brand new darling puppy! He is a shorkie…a shih tzu/yorkie mix. He is only about six weeks right now, so it will be a few more weeks until we pick him up.
My poor husband, he didn’t really know what he was in for when we decided to get a dog. Well…after seeing the credit card bill, he does now! I’ve already picked up tons of adorable yorkie dog clothes, a plush puppy bed, and a gorgeous leather dog carrier purse. I just tell him not to worry…we’ll have the best dressed pup on the block!
Here are a few pictures of our little guy…we have yet to pick out a name…any suggestions??

…to make it in the world of Hollywood. Find out how you can…
When most Hollywood hopefuls move out to California with big dreams and ample ambition, they do not realize just how difficult it can be to break into the business. Many have little to no professional contacts involved in the industry so they have to begin at square one: endless auditions, competing with thousands of other individuals with the same goals and dreams.
What many of these young people do not know is that are there are a number of organizations that provide A-list acting internships which provides a much better chance of succeeding in such a difficult and fickle industry. Students are paired with a professional in the business, whether it be a director, producer, or casting director. Such internships (sometimes referred to as mentorships) can provide valuable work experience on an actual set and help the student to start making contacts within the business.
In show biz, it is all about contacts; who you know, rather than what you know. An internship gives you crucial exposure to Hollywood.
Disclaimer: While I personally have not completed an acting internship, I have done extensive research online and found numerous positive reviews and information about acting internships and similar programs…including this guy, who seems to be just as impressed as I am!

Glamorous and high-priced certainly do not have to go hand-in-hand. You can keep up with all the latest styles and fashion trends without breaking the bank. Here are my favorite (inexpensive) items for the upcoming holiday season!
Sparkling Jewelry – Banana Republic is one of my favorite places to pick up chic yet modern jewelry that is perfect for the office and a night on the town. They have absolutely gorgeous pieces, most for under 50 bucks!
Dog Carrier Purse - Channel your inner celebrity and pick up one of fall’s hottest accessories…the dog purse. Perfect for your little furry friend, the purses are replete with shiny buckles, patent leather, and silver chains without the designer price tag!
Riding Boots - The fall fave is back and as hot as ever, especially paired with leggings or skinny jeans. My pick? Steve Madden’s Brown Riding boots…an inexpensive option at only $140.
Polished Nails - Nothing is more refined, sophisticated, or sexy than well-kept nails. Try a DIY manicure…it will not only save you time, but money. Keep nails trimmed, filed, and short especially if you wear dark polish. Colors to try: O.P.I.’s Midnight in Moscow and Vodka & Caviar.
Pea Coat - The pea coat is a wardrobe staple. They look great at any length and with anything…wear with a flattering pencil skirt or dark jeans. Victoria’s Secret has some of the cutest (and inexpensive) pea coats I have ever seen!
