Alex: This is one of the songs on my pilot playlist that I just can not get enough of!
Delectable Wine
Alex: Since one of our favorite things to do together is drink wine, I thought this was a must share. For me, it’s not one of those apps I would use everyday BUT it does come in handy. Woah, my mind just got real dirty when I said the word handy. Anywho, the app is called Delectable Wine. You can take a picture of the wine you’re drinking and learn about the vintage, winemaker, and ...
Shape House
Alex: Remember a while back when you went to that place and sweated for like 8 hours?
Nik: The sweat lodge. Yes.
Alex: Well, I just found an urban version of that. It’s called Shape House. Have you heard of it? When you go to their website there’s just this sexy body with sweat dripping down it. Then the words: come. sweat away your weight or your stress. improve your sleep or your skin. come cleanse your body or re-invent your life. stay. because you feel great when you do. book a sweat… I MEAN COULD THEY SPEAK TO ME ANY LOUDER? I’m booking an appointment. Want to come sweat with me?
Party? Play? Work?
Alex: I am in such a different place today than I was a year ago it is absolutely insane. I had such a fun college life, all I did was play. Now it’s hard to enjoy playing, I always feel like there’s something else I could and should be doing. It’s weird. The weirdest part is that I don’t even WANT to go out. I would rather stay in so I can be productive ...
Fugiform Papillae
Alex: I was browsing apps and this name hooked my attention, Foodspotting. You know how much I love to eat, so obviously, I had to check it out. And it’s actually pretty sweet! It’s a visual guide to food and where to find it. Instead of reviewing restaurants, you can recommend great dishes and see what others recommend wherever you go. It’s almost like Instagram for food.
Nik: Okay, I’m happy people finally have a place to showcase all of their food pictures because I’m bored with them. I mean, honestly? I don’t want to see the burrito you ate last night or the wings you ordered at Hooters or the pie you baked for your church potluck. I just don’t. Aside from that, and it could be my trust issues, but this app scares me. I’m always baffled when I overhear people at restaurants ask their server what they like. We all have different wiring when it comes to taste. We don’t taste things the same. Some people are supertasters. Some are subtasters. I’m a supertaster. I’m also a supersmeller. But my point is, I’m not sure I trust this app. I mean, sure Bob, puts a great filter on that tuna tartare, but am I really driving 30 minutes because he said it’s the best he’s ever had?
Alex: Who’s Bob?
Tongue Critic
Alex: We’ve already established he never reads our blog… But just in case he’s ever forced to… Dad, stop reading now.
Alex: Not kidding.
Alex: Stop. Reading. Now.
Alex: Last warning.
Nik: OH MY GOD! You’re killing me! He doesn’t read our blog! What?!
It’s Monday
Nik: Remember our post ‘Spread A Little, Get A Little’ when I said I’d smile at everyone?
I’m obsessed with… Confessions of a Concealaholic
Alex: The Sephora Stores out here are ginormous! Holy smokes. One of my favorite products is from Benefit. It’s called Confessions of a Concealaholic. I can’t tell you how many times it has saved me from looking like I have chicken pox on my face. Cool thing is it lasts forever and has everything you need all in one box. The kit includes: “that gal” brightening face primer, boi-ing industrial strength concealer (two different shades), erase paste (medium) brightening camouflage for eyes and face, lemon aid color correcting eyelid primer, and eye bright instant eye brightener. Do you have a favorite makeup brand?
It’s Over Now
Nik: Sometimes I just have to write a poem to unblock the block…
it’s over now
cantankerous. mortality. flesh not flesh.
osteichthyes, chondrichthyes, agnatha, stench still of dead fish,
that consternation held dear hated friend,
for effect affected, left confusion,
abrupt erupting deep,
carcass, relic, trash can trophy, residue of impassioned passion,
fruit rotten, spotted grainy juice,
I’m obsessed with… Make Up For Ever
Nik: You know the thing you do with the copper eyeliner? We did a post about it? I found the perfect pencil.
