Playing games

Bananagrams is our new favorite game!  Like an individual version of Scrabble the word game is an addicting fun time.  Now that the temperature has plunged to winteresque lows here’s a way wait out the chilly spell indoors.

Some serious fun is about to ensue...

Watch out for that "J" there...

Bananas!

Is it time to bring sexy back?

Remember when he was hot?

Justin Timberlake looks yawn-worthy on the cover of GQ.  Jessica Biel, he’s all yours, girl!

Justin just underwhelms you, doesn't he?

Warhol weighs in

True confession

We have to give credit where credit is due.  Miley Cyrus’ newest ballad might be our favorite song of the moment.  The Climb has lovely lyrics and we can actually hear Miley’s voice on the track and the teen sensation doesn’t sound half bad to us.

We fess up, the Hannah Montana star is on our i-pod.

Beautiful revelations

There’s something out there that will tone your bum, put a healthy glow in your cheeks, a genuine smile on your face, give your hair a little wind-blown volume and finally, it just might give a brand new sunny attitude (a least for an hour or two)!

A product junkie admits: a long run around the lake can do much more than any bottle of expensive potion from Sephora can.

A cookie you can take to the bank

A few days at home means a few days of baking… And we have a feeling this delicious new treat is going to be canonized in Babybear’s baking répetoire!

Here’s the recipe.  It makes a small batch, maybe 2 dozen cookies.

Kelsey’s cookies:

1 cup flour

3/4 cup baking soda

1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup butter

1/2  cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 and 3/4 cups oats

3/4 cup raisin (but we used chocolate chips!)

bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and ta-da, it’s perfection!

Kelsey’s cookies were so, so good!  We’re loving the oatmeal!

Don't you want to taste the dough?

Yummy goodness bakes in the oven...

Too good to be true?

The case of the bad hat

We’ve got some big news, boys.  We’re not exactly sure what inspires you to don hideous head gear that is a strange combination of baseball hat,  beret, and stocking cap, but regardless of your motives the verdict is the same: stop.

Unless this is part of some type of ongoing campus wide dare, just stop.

You’re not in New York and we promise, nobody here understands the statement you’re trying to make.

When it’s -1 a warm winter hat is a much, much better choice.

Are you for real?

Our bestie is what some people might call brutally honest but what we like to call just honest enough.  Telling the truth is her specialty and being with her is like a breath of fresh air!

In a world full of so much artificiality, isn’t it nice to know that the people who are close to you are truly genuine in their actions and words?

We’re curious, how many times a day do you fake it?  Smile at your freshman year RA and make forced conversation?  Tell your lab partner you love her jacket that bears an eerie resemblance to your grandmother’s curtains?  Ask a teammate about his weekend escapades when you would rather enjoy your grape-nuts in silence?

Well, we’re telling you right now, fakery is out, out, out!  The next big thing is just  being…real.

Are you as fake as these girls?

Me-ow

We like boys but if we didn’t…

The Slumdog Millionaire actress has the elegant and effortless look down.

Frieda Pinto looks flawless at the Extreme Beauty event in Milan.  The pale pink chiffon cocktail dress paired with a black floral belt by Dolce and Gabbana is sleek, glamorous and just the right amount of playful.

Brit Brit brings it.

We aren’t ashamed to admit we love Britney.

Spears kicked off her Circus tour Tuesday in New Orleans with a show that was met with mediocre reviews.  We checked out a few of the videos and we actually thought she did pretty well, she wasn’t singing live but she was dancing her little booty off, which is what she does best!

And we have to rave about the costumes!  She looks so fierce!

Britney delivers

The princess of pop reigns...

Other than the lip-syncing which isn’t unexpected our one critique is her hair.  Why does it look like a bad wig?  And so disheveled…  Isn’t someone on the Britney team paid to take care of that?
