This weekend is going to be “Legen…wait for it…DARY”

I’ve been in desperate need of a Ke$ha like night out and convinced my friends, (who both recently moved to DC from Charleston) Allison and Brian, to jump on board! As you can tell by the emails back and forth over the past few days, I’m either too excited for this weekend OR I should [...]

Don’t Call Me Bob Vila Just Yet

I purchased some new items at Ikea (LOVE THAT PLACE) yesterday to spruce up my 450 square feet. I have been eating off TV trays, in my bed (which ended up making me purchase more sheets this year because I spilled ketchup on them), and on my floor…I decided it was time to be a [...]

The Lucky One

The NEW Nicholas Sparks Movie is coming to a theater near you soon….AND (BONUS) it stars Zac Efron. Few Thoughts On This Trailer: 1. ZAC EFRON IS SO GROWN. He sounds like a man, looks like a man, no more High School Musical for him! 2. Why don’t my make-out sessions happen like that? Thrown [...]

 Is it just me or is our very sweet Kelly Pickler turning into the next Courtney Stodden? When I saw this pic of the former American Idol Contestant on the red carpet at the CMA’s I instantly thought of the 17 year old that I just can’t seem to get enough of.  I’m intrigued by [...]
