Izola Style: Snarky Flasks & More, Plus Enter to Win

By on May 1, 2014 in Goodies

After wading through tons of emails the past few weeks I came across one from a site that I absolutely love. The items that caught my attention first are the flasks (should not be surprising to any of you because I have to carry my Grey Goose in style). They are super cute, snarky and make a great addition to summer gifts or just as a gift to yourself (because you deserve it). I know I deserve one or five drinks after this nightmarish week I have had. Izola is not like any other run of the mill flask company…. Continue Reading

Surviving Beverly Hills: Rockstars & Bitches

By on April 24, 2014 in Snarky

Earlier this week, I was invited to a schmoozing event in Beverly Hills at the Four Seasons Hotel. I met some exciting people including chatting it up with Shirley Jones and Marty Ingel (just another evening hanging out with an Oscar winner and her comedian husband). They were great and he had me laughing! But, if I had a dollar for every time someone (especially older gentlemen) ask why I am still single or what I do working in social media, I would be filthy, stinking, snarking rich! So, I put Marty to the test and asked if he knows… Continue Reading

The Snark Tank: Bull’s Eye vs. Bull Sh*t

The Snark Tank

I get asked, “What does a blogger do?” several times a day. It is shocking to me but some people still have the preconceived notion that bloggers are like digital scrap-bookers, sitting in large walk-in closets with laptops and piles of crate paper creating origami birds and posting them on the Internet for their friends and family to feel obligated to look at. Sure, there are foodie bloggers who are physically unable to stick any morsel of food in their mouth without documenting every moment of the experience (just eat it – don’t share unless I can actually taste the… Continue Reading

My Chic Little Secret: Vapor Couture ECig Exclusively for Women

By on March 21, 2014 in Goodies

Thank God it is Friday and it is the start of March Madness. The University of Arizona is set to take the court in a few hours and I am ready for my weekend. Did I earn it? Too bad I have so much work to catch up on following a few very tough weeks. Needless to say, I am a stress case now (and always – honestly) and try very hard to harness my stress in productive ways. You know, having a grey goose soda and shopping! It works for me. Don’t judge. We all have our dirty little… Continue Reading

Oscar Goes To You: Win $400 Official Oscar Nominee Gifts by Jan Lewis

By on March 3, 2014 in Goodies

Happy ridicule ugly dresses and praise beautiful gowns day aka day after the Academy Awards! How many of you enjoyed the show last night? I must admit that I watched but my ADD set it and Twitter took over so I missed parts of the show. But, I am happy Jared Leto (my boyfriend) has finally received recognition because we have been dating since he was on “My So Called Life”. Not really, but I want one of him on that show-NOW. Also, I have yet to see “Wolf of Wall Street” but probably need to find a date for… Continue Reading

Cupids Bullseye: $545 Exclusive ICJUK Giveaway

By on February 3, 2014 in Goodies

Happy pre-Valentines Day (another- Don’t dress like a slut day). If you heard my interview on The Modern Dater, then you know I don’t love this holiday. It is not because I am single and bitter because when I had a hot boyfriend – I hated the holiday. You can ask him? He is probably still sitting in the same chair, with the same shocked looked on his face when I left him at a five star restaurant some years back. People – we do not need Hallmark to tell each other when we should be nice. It should happen… Continue Reading

Grammys: Sink or Swim?

By on January 26, 2014 in LALA Land, Snarky

I wake up this morning and am super pissed that I don’t have a Master Card in my wallet. Actually, I am also a little irritated with my wallet staying out all weekend at a friend’s house. I left my wallet there on Thursday and have been confined to the house and sustaining on left over Halloween candy since I have no MONEY to buy any food. It is ok but I am going to be pissed if I can’t fit into my outfit for tonight. Oh that is right? A pair of tickets to the Grammys, preshow and after… Continue Reading

SodaStream: Scarlett Johansson as Brand Amabassador

By on January 13, 2014 in Goodies, LALA Land

You know I get some very interesting press releases about new products and happenings in Hollywood but last week I got something super fun! I was given an exclusive invite to the red carpet event announcing the first Brand Ambassador for SodaStream! Of course, with a pitch like: “ SodaStream, the leading manufacturer and distributor of home carbonation beverage systems, is about to announce a new partnership with an A list celebrity that will give George Clooney (Nespresso) and Jennifer Aniston (smart water) a run for their money. The new brand ambassador will also be the star of the much anticipated SodaStream… Continue Reading

Back in LALAland: Hollyweird

By on December 11, 2013 in LALA Land, Snarky

While you are reading this, there is a good possibility that I am still waiting for YouTube to upload a 5 minute video. You would think in this day and age I would just have to clap and it would be uploaded. You know like the clapper? Clap on, clap off. WTF is going on here? So, while I wait for one of the most painful experiences in life (waiting for a telephone/internet/cable repair man to show up and fix something properly the first time) you are going to have to watch this video I snuck through the internet waves… Continue Reading
