Alex: Not going to lie, Dangerdust inspired me today. My favorite is “Know how to spell a word more than one way.” – Mark Twain. Which one is your favorite?
Nik: Um.
Alex: Chalkboard art doesn’t do it for ya?
Nik: Everything is just so nice now. I mean, remember the days when you’d go to school and there was a permanent marker dick on your locker?
Alex: Yeah, I was really into MASH. Did you ever play that game?
I’m obsessed with… My Song 5
Alex: You'll want to turn your speakers up for this one...
What’s Your Favorite?
Alex: Do you have a favorite movie? I feel like I should know this. And while we’re at it, what’s your favorite song? And color? And dessert?
Nik: I actually don’t have a favorite movie. I love everything Wes Anderson makes. Everything David O. Russell does. The Coen Brothers. John Hughes gave me a whole lot of happy. Christmas Vacation is a holiday tradition. I usually can’t rewatch the movies that impacted me the most because I don’t want to ruin the initial experience. So no. No favorite movie. Or at least not one. Song… hmm… it changes every day. I always feel pretty good about
All About That Bass
Nik: I can’t stop listening.
Alex: This reminds me that we need a night out dancing ASAP!
Nik: I’m too old for that.
Alex: No remember when you and your friends asked me to get you into a club?
Red, White, and the Blues
Alex: I’m sad. Actually, I’m just homesick, but being homesick makes me sad. So I guess that does make me sad. I just feel like I’ve missed out on so much back at home. My brother won State for football, broke his hand and got surgery, graduated High School, turned eighteen and is leaving for college at the end of summer. The list could go on and on. And I’ve missed it all. Even some of my friends are getting married, having kids, or getting their own places. It’s weird and
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?
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?!
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?
