I’m obsessed with… Hypercolor Nail Polish

Nik:  My latest manicure has provided me with hours of entertainment. And no it’s not because I’m bored.  Well, I am, now that my pilot is finished.  But really it’s because it’s hypercolor. When I’m cold, my nails are a deep red, almost black, and when I’m warm, they turn cherry red. It’s weirdly fun to watch when my fingers are changing temperature…my middle fingers are always cold. Who knew?

Fun is Tempting

Alex:  I was waiting for my roomie Janae, she's a Minoqua Bat, to come home from work so we could go out and play. Our friend just flew in from New York and we all couldn't be more excited for the reunion. As I killed time until she got home, I started reading the book Chemistry of Calm. I was 17 pages in when it happened. Creativity struck and an idea for my pilot surfaced. ...

Holiday Blues

Tuesday, December 10, 2013 , , , , 0

Alex:  This Thanksgiving was my first holiday away from home. There are some things I knew I wouldn’t miss like the clean up and cold weather. But there are a lot of things that I knew I would miss; my grandma’s perfectly mashed potatoes with a touch of garlic, the sound of papa’s electric knife cutting the turkey, football on the big screen, the array of desserts we could choose from after dinner, the festive ...

Alex:  Nik, I’m so lucky and thankful that our worlds have crossed paths. You inspire me in more ways than one. You make me laugh and you’re there for me when I cry. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met and the rock for so many people. I don’t know how you do it. Happy Birthday! I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays together! :)

Nik:  You know what’s fun about saying yes to random party invites in LA? You sometimes meet nice people who just launched a hair care line and they want to give you full size samples for your feedback. Here’s my feedback Mitch Stone: Love. I smell like Hawaii and I’m super happy about it because I’m freezing my tatas off in Wisconsin right now.

Nik:  Everyone should stop planning their Black Friday shopping strategy and DONATE to something! It’s Thanksgiving. Be thankful for everything you have because so many people have so much less or nothing at all. I got a letter from Meals On Wheels asking for a donation. I read the letter and burst into tears. I’ve been so caught up in my own “stuff” that I’ve

A Lesson I Want To Share

Wednesday, November 27, 2013 , , , , 0

Alex:  My mother called me today. It caught me off guard, I wasn’t ready. As my phone was ringing I had an instant flashback to the last time we spoke: “I don’t want to see you, Alex.” It has been months since I’ve talked to her. The feeling of hope that she was her old self again took over. I was walking into my friends house when I decided to pick up the phone and ...
