It was a very good week...

Most Talkative by Andy Cohen was released on Tuesday and I'm super excited to read it! I'm obsessed with all things Bravo and I loves me some Watch What Happens Live. Andy has been promoting his book which lead him to a fantastic appearance on the Howard Stern show...two of my favorites collide!!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Howard Stern and this week has been a big treat for Stern fans everywhere. His media tour to promote the new season of America's Got Talent has given us tons of great clips from talk shows like The View, Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. I cannot wait to see Howard on AGT starting Monday, May 14th.

I try to avoid political topics on NWS but I'm strongly for gay marriage. I was extremely pleased with Obama's statement on the matter this week. Well done Mr. President.

For the last year I've been enjoying a reprieve from a nine to five job and I've loved nearly every minute of it. This week I did something I had never done before: I attended a weekday TinCaps baseball game at 11:05am! It was glorious and I felt so free...I won't forget that feeling anytime soon.

Last but not least: Mother's Day is this weekend and I want to give a hearty HOLLA to all the fantastic Moms I know. I've been "Mumma" for 4 years and it is NO JOKE. The extreme love I feel for my little guy coupled with the pressure of raising a happy, healthy and respectful child is the craziest combo but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Soda Stream...

I was nicely gifted this holiday season and I'm truly thankful for all the gifts in my life, material and otherwise. But my favorite prezzie is my new Soda Stream!!! I'm a club soda with lemon ADDICT (I don't mess with any "colas") and having the ability to create sparkling water in mere seconds is absolutely THRILLING!

The device is slim, doesn't use electricity and is super easy to use. My recycling bin is also MUCH lighter...This pleasant and uplifting promo video says it all, yes?



Bonus video from the 80's!
Why did it take me so long to get busy with the fizzy? England had Soda Streams decades ago...



Ahhhh, so refreshing!

cozy yet stylish NYE...

2012 is almost here! The big question is: what are you wearing on New Years Eve? I'll be comfy and cozy yet stylish...check out my NYE segments on INsight:

Style Resolutions - I mention red lips (what's new?) as a great style resolution for the new year but what I should I have said was EMBRACE COLOR! Classic neutrals are safe and timeless but can be a tad boring...go bold and incorporate more color into your makeup bag and your wardrobe.

Stylish NYE at Home - I'm sticking with a winter white, grey and metallic gold palette for my cozy celebration at home.

2011 was filled with many exciting changes in my life and I will cherish the memories from this past year forever. I cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store!!!

Happy New Year!!!
