Two Things I Have An Unhealthy Obsession With

I buy it at Trader Joe's (it comes in a clear box in the frozen food section) and always have a box tucked away in my nightstand. However, this week I bought one for my office as well. My obsession with this licorice is horrible, I can never have just one (or four) pieces. It's just so soft and delicious. I once went to 3 Trader Joe's in a desperate search to restock.

My favorite flavor is Mango Tangerine, I can eat almost the entire pint by myself. I love this little taste of paradise so much, I even wrote a letter (email) to the company expressing my satisfaction with the product (hopefully, I will receive a lifetime supply). It tastes as if you are biting into a freshly picked, perfectly ripe Mango. Oooooh, it's utterly gratifying.

P.S. It's also at Trader Joe's.

For Vampire Lovers Everywhere

Two of the most popular shows right now (True Blood and Twilight Sagas in case you live under a rock) have really neat paraphernalia available!
First, True Blood's creators have made the vampire drink Tru Blood temporarily real!! No, it is not real blood, it is a carbonated blood orange soda you can buy in a 4 pack for $16 at truebeverage.com and according to the website, the soda is "All Flavor, No Bite"

I just caught up with the season last night and can't wait to see more of Godric and what will happen with MaryAnn. I've also decided the following:

1. This season is WAY better than last season, it has more of a storyline and is not just borderline porn.
2. Jason and Terry are still my favorite characters
3. Sarah Newlin looks like a cheerleader and I'm obsessed with her hair
4. Don't watch the show right before bed because you will have the most weird dreams ever

Don't miss this season's finale on September 18th!

As for Twilight (insert drum roll here), Jules Smith Jewelry designer Gina Nigrelli was inspired by New Moon and has created a new collection for the saga. The collection includes Bella's Good Luck Charm Bracelet ($20) and Jacob's Nemesis bracelet ($45)- this one is my personal favorite. Told to InStyle, Nigrelli said "Once I began reading the Twilight series, I quickly became engulfed in the love triangle and the mystical fantasy of the storyline. My obsession for vampires translated into a design inspiration. I wanted to share my devotion to these characters with my fans and there's no better way to celebrate Edward Cullen than with a New Moon collection featuring alluring fangs."

Is this really appropriate?

I love Gossip Girl and Taylor Momsen (hello, how adorable was she in the Grinch???), but this is her outfit for hte sixteenth birthday. SIXTEEN!!


On a side note, I love Kim Kardashian's makeup in this picture (but I still want her to fall off a cliff)

Have You Ever Been to the Horse Races?

It is so exciting! You can spend the whole night there without spending your whole pay check either. They even have $1 hot dogs and beers!! I placed small bets ($1 and $3) on every horse and chose my horses mostly based on whether I like their names, if their name was special to me in some way, and how fast the horse in the races are. This is a great idea for a date or group outing, everyone is yelling for the horses and seeing who is winning and betting on, plus there are people of all ages there. My grandpa used to go all the time with some of my family members and I remember him taking me once when I was little- one of my favorite memories of him.
Here is a pic of me and my winning ticket, I bet on one horse to win and it did! (It was also my 3rd winning bet of the night)

Please call me when you turn 18, I will be HAPPY to be your Mrs. Robinson

Taylor Lautner is soooo sexy, I'm counting the days until his 18th birthday.
He's also InStyle's Man of Fashion for their December issue, thank goodness I'm a subscriber!
You can check out some sexy pics and learn 5 fun facts about him at their What's Hot Right Now!

I'm Team Jacob for the following reasons:
1. He's smoooking HOT
2. I'm a sucker for younger men
3. His baby face
4. His hunky body
5. Not that I know him personally, but in every interview I've read/seen of him, he seems really down to Earth and humble....like that boy next door you oggle when he's washes his car shirtless
6. In the fictional world of vampires and werewolves, Jake will die some day, will age alongside Bella (she does have like 15 yrs to catch up to him once he's transformed), he can take her on sunny vacations, and he's super hot.
