It's Friday I'm In Love!

 It's FRIDAY!!! Cheers to everyone!! And what does that mean? Linking up with the lovely Amanda with my top favs of this week. Let's do this.


::1:: The Chelsea Handler Talk Show. I was crying myself to sleep every night when the news broke that Chelsea Handler didn't renew her contract with E! for her show Chelsea Lately....BUT I just found out that she's going to have her own talk show on Netflix as of 2016!!! Way to go Netflix...you'll keep me as a customer even when OITNB is over. Smart move. I seriously can't get enough of how much of an asshole she is and just gives zero effs. I can't wait for her snarky, sarcastic ass to get on Netflix where she won't be censored at all. Omg I can't wait.


::2:: Shutterfly. After the wedding, Shutterfly mailed a great offer for a FREE 8x11 hardcover photo book! Score!! I spent countless hours creating it, but it was worth it! The photo quality is amazing and it turned out perfectly. They're quite pricey if a sale isn't going on, but they usually have great deals you can snag for 40% off!






::3:: Groupon Goods. You've hit it spot on once again Groupon! Foam rollers are ridiculously expensive, so I've refused to get one. They can range from $70-$100 even. Stupid. So I've sucked it up without one UNTIL Groupon Goods had a deal on them for $24 originally $75!!! SCORE. My IT band will be so happy. I can't wait to use it!


::4:: Hayward, WI. It's that time of the year again! Josh's whole Dad's side of the family gathers everything up and rents out multiple cabins on the lake for a week. This is a tradition that EVERYONE looks forward to each year and this year, we're going on our first Hayward vacation as husband and wife! WOOT. Milestones. I can't wait to be doing this all day long.



::5:: New Music. The new Lana Del Rey and Sam Smith albums came out this week and I've been obsessing over them and the new Coldplay album as well. Like obsessing as in listening to each album repeatedly for hours. Totally healthy right? I'm never satisfied either until I've played each album to death. Although that never happens with Lana's albums. The one thing that isn't so cool is that Coldplay's album isn't available on Spotify....thanks a lot iTunes you music hoarder. All of these albums are pretty mellow to listen to which is perfect for me right now since it forces my mind to slow the eff down. I'd have to say "Brooklyn Baby," "Black Beauty" and "Pretty When You Cry" are definitely some favorites off of Lana's album. Go listen NOW.


What is everyone else obsessively listening to these days?!

Grammy Nods & Snubs

So it's Monday and I'm suffering from a severe Grammy hangover. However, I'm sure my head doesn't hurt as much as Taylor Swift's considering all that headbanging she did during her performance and her premature excited face thinking she won Album of the Year. No Taylor, it's time for you to write a breakup song about the Grammy Awards. Oh wait, you can't break up with something you never had. Awkward.



So many good and bad things came out of yesterday night. One amazing thing: Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr shared the stage once again. Excuse me while I freak out a bit. It was awesome. I love my Beatles. I also enjoyed Metallica's performance (wow I didn't realize how old they are now) and NIN's performance although their performance was cut short (eff you CBS, see if I ever give your network ratings ever again). Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' performance was also awesome as about 30 couples got married AT the Grammys. I'm upset that I didn't get an invite. I want Sir Paul McCartney and Katy Perry to be witnesses at my wedding! I'm also glad that Madonna finally decided to accept her age and go with something that covers everything up...could have gone without the cowboy hat though....the fashion overall was atrocious. Sorry Katy Perry...that music note dress fell flat (pun intended) however Taylor Swift's Gucci gown was gorgeous...I hate admitting that. And of course only Sir Paul can get away with wearing denim to the Grammys. 

Apollo was live tweeting the whole event...you can tell how pissed he was when he found out that Daft Punk won Album of the Year. He was happy with Lorde winning Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Although what was with the black fingertips?


To sum it up, these are my Top 10 Grammy comments:

1.) Beyonce, this was not an audition for a Flashdance remake, you were at the Grammys.
2.) Taylor Swift, sit down...you look like an awkward groupie dancing to every performance.
3.) Yoko Ono, everyone still hates you
4.) Metallica got really old, but they can still dominate the stage (who knew after the garbage they've been  releasing?)
5.) Robots can win Grammys
6.) Miley Cyrus must have been partying it up with her twinsy, Justin Bieber since she was MIA at the Grammys.
7. Katy Perry's performance dancing on a broomstick as if it were a stripper pole was kind of awkward.
8. I'm still bitter about not being one of those 30 couples exchanging vows. (I could have said "I do" next to JT's seat).
9.) Justin Timberlake was snubbed on so many levels. Not happy.
10.) I forgot this was an awards show to begin with considering the handful of awards they actually aired in comparison to the amount of performances.

While we're on the topic of celebrities, has anyone ever been told that they look exactly like a particular famous person? I was approached by a couple of trainers at my gym who said that I look exactly like Lily Rabe from American Horror Story. Not too sure if that's a good thing..but either way, I think they're ridiculous. Aside from the hair, I see zero resemblance.


In other entertainment news, Lana Del Rey just released her single for "Once Upon A Dream" for Maleficent and I just about died. It premiered during the Grammys and my inner 8-year-old, Disney-crazed self screamed and rejoiced. It's also free on Google Play so GET IT NOW! It's amazing and awesome.
