Good Girls Go Bad- Cobra Starship OFFICIAL VIDEO *HQ*

My new favorite song (and ringtone). Gave it a chance for Leighton Meester, loved it for Cobra Starship.

*just found out it was written by Kara Dioguardi and Kevin Rudolph. Now why didn't Kara use THIS song for the Idol WInner's first single?!

Ooooh, We're HalfWay Theeere...

Say hello to our li'l blueri, Baby BrownieSugar @ 20 weeks. :) Hubby & I have decided NOT to find out the sex of the baby (much to the chagrin of MY mommy), and letting ourselves be surprised on the day we actually meet Baby face to face.
So far, Baby likes to take naps and is a tad stubborn (like it's Daddy) ;)
I think we bothered Baby enough by the end of the appointment as it put both hands up in prayer to let him/her be. Hahaha.
I love you, Baby. <3

I Wish I Craved Broccoli

Apparently, preggers Victoria Secret model, Adriana Lima, a former chocoholic, has found chocolate to be repulsive during her pregnancy.

Lucky. All I crave is pizza, cupcakes, cheetos, bacon and syrup waffles, and suddenly, beignets.
Why can't I just crave fruits and veggies??

Check out the article on Adriana's pregnancy -

Adriana Lima: Chocoholic to Chocophobe

Mmmm....sounds good....

I don't really know any other way to save and add someone's twitter post to my blog (besides screen capture)...so that's what I did.

Bacon & Syrup waffle sounds divine. Wish I had a waffle maker at home to try the bacon-filled waffle on my Sweet, Delicious Cravings post.

How Dangerous Would This Be For Me & My Wallet?

The SmartSwipe...

This goes for Pre-, Current, & Post-Pregnancy...

I am CONSTANTLY searching for a pair of jeans that fit just right, and I'm not just talking about right now when my body is growing in all sorts of ways. I'm talking about pre-pregnancy. My hips (aka BOOTAY) and thighs have always been on a slightly larger proportional scale in reference to my waist (hard to believe considering my waist isn't exactly tiny). However, this made/makes shopping for jeans incredibly difficult (still having the SAME problem during pregnancy, even tho my belly seems to be growing at an alarmingly fast rate). Jeans that fit me perfectly in the thighs/hips are just way to big in the waist. Jeans that fit me in the waist, barely go up my thighs/hips, creating a bit of a gap in the "crotch" area. Thus you will find me wiggling and squirming around trying to lift my jeans up all the time, so as not to expose my "plumber's butt". I have found a few pairs in the past that have fit me to a T, however I have OVERworn them so much that i have created gaping holes and tears that have been patched up now one too many times, and had to, FINALLY, be laid down to rest. And for some reason, those specific jeans can never be found again in the stores. R.I.P. Citizen of Humanity Skinnies, 7 of All Mankind flares and bootcuts.

But, today, I received an email from a website I read on occasion, containing a list of Do's on finding the perfect pair of jeans. I realized, I cannot be alone in my search for a perfectly good fitting pair of jeans, and decided it would be nice to share this with all of you lady readers (unless some of you guys are out there looking for a pair of jeans that make you butt look good). So please read Michelle Obi's 5 Tips to Finding the Perfect Pair of Jeans.

I wonder if this might help...

In the weekday mornings as I'm getting ready for work, I like to catch up a little bit on the lives of Regis Philbin & Kelly Ripa on Live with Regis & Kelly. Over the last few weeks (months?), Regis has been complaining about sleep issues (something I can absolutely relate to being a lifelong insomniac myself. Ask my Mom. She'll vouch for it.) Anyhoo, a couple weeks ago, Michael Gellman (their producer) bought Regis some sort of sleep headband contraption that would monitor his sleep and let him (and us) know what was going with Regis on in the wee hours of the night. This contraption can also be hooked up to the internet, thus calculating all the data online, and putting it together in a way that (hopefully) makes sense. I was dying to know where I could get such a contraption (and hopefully put an end to my sleepless nights...at least for the next 5 months before the only reason I'm awake at nights is a screaming newborn).
I finally found the gadget (known as the Zeo: Personal Sleep Coach), but why the hell is it $400? I wonder if this is truly the sound investment I am trying to convince Hubby it is :)

1 Down...

So I finally baked something off my Sweet, Delicious Cravings list! Although I was supremely exhausted from the lack of sleep from the night before. I was determined to get these baked.

What did I end up making, you ask? I started my baking endeavor with Martha Stewart's Strawberry Shortcake Cookies. (see my picture above, taken after the cookies had cooled, and placed in tupperware to send off to little sister) :)

Unfortunately, the cookies came out a little soggier than I imagined (i didn't envision any sogginess at all, actually). I figured the strawberry mixture had too much water/liquid that had accumulated while mixing the cookie dough, and I probably should have strained the mixture before adding to the dough. Oh well, you live and you learn. Next time I'll know better :)
(They still TASTE pretty damn good if you ask me.)

Where Is It From?

Does anybody know where I can find similar dresses to the one Olivia Palermo (right) and Emma Watson (bottom left) are wearing? They'd make great (currently) maternity dresses (in larger sizes, of course), and great post-maternity dresses (in my usual sizing) :D
