I Got Lost + Everything You Need to Know about LOST

To be perfectly honest I only watched the first season of Lost and then for some reason I (no pun intended) lost interest. Yes, it's one of the most watched and talked about shows pretty much ever and I really don't have a clue why I stopped watching.

With all the hype surrounding the final season (premiering Feb. 2 on ABC) I thought maybe I should give it another shot. Then I saw the first 5 seasons were available on Hulu and I started watching. I was completely hooked and watched all 110 episodes in less than 2 weeks. Do I get an award? No, no award... just paler than normal skin and no social life.

If you haven't been watching (and don't have time to watch the first 5 seasons) or just need a refresher before the premiere, I found this video that recaps the first 5 seasons in 8 minutes and 15 seconds. So here's everything you need to know about Lost.


Now that you're caught up... here's a sneak peek of season 6. Seriously, why can't it just be February already? This is one season I won't miss.


Want more??? I also found this video of the flight 815 crash happening in real time. Enjoy! Now get lost.


Happy Friday!

Everyone loves Fridays... and puppies.


Remember the Shiba Inu puppy sensation from UStream last year? Well mommy Kika just had another litter last week.


Oh yes, the Shiba puppy cam is back! You can watch the pups live on UStream here. Have a good weekend!

In Love... With Valentine's Day

I know, I know.... Valentine's Day is still over three weeks away but it's my fav holiday (after Halloween, of course).

By no means am I a hopeless romantic or a sucker for love, but for some reason I'm borderline obsessed with Valentine's Day. Adorable cards, candy, chocolate, lots pink and red and silly stuffed animals... what's not to love?

I still haven't figured out plans just yet, but I hope it involves seeing Valentine's Day...

...and getting this little guy.


Love Valentine's Day too? Check out I Love You More Than.. Blank and tell someone what you love them more than.

Now it's time to start working on my Valentine's Day mix-tape and think of all the yummy treats I'm going to bake. Just kidding... or am I?

Je t'adore. My Favorite Beauty Products

Even if your bathroom is overflowing with beauty supplies and makeup and looks like a department store cosmetic counter, I'm sure there are a handful of products you can't live without. Over the years I feel like I've tried just about everything whether it's drugstore brand or designer, but here are the beauty products I always keep close by.

Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve

Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve - $19.50 at Nieman Marcus.

Seriously, who wants dry cracked hands? Definitely not me... that's why I love Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve. It nourishes hands without leaving them feeling greasy and the fragrance isn't overpowering like hand lotions. This is one product I always carry with me, especially during the winter months.


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - $17 at Urban Decay.

No creasing or clumping like a lot of other primers. This is the only product I've ever used that keeps my eyeshadow looking amazing all day long. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it! A lot of products say they're long lasting, but this one actually means it.

Clinique Brush-On Cream Eyeliner

Clinique Brush-On Cream Eyeliner - $12.50 at Sephora.

I've never found a pencil liner that lasted all day and I never quite figured out liquid liner. Cream eyeliner is the best of both worlds. It's easy to apply, doesn't drip and you get a long lasting, waterproof and dramatic look. If you want multiple colors, I suggest getting Stila's Smudge Pot Collection (also available at Sephora).

Rosebud Salve

Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve - $6 at drugstore.com.

If you want to cure cracked chapped lips or if you just want super soft lips Rosebud Salve is amazing and unlike Carmex, it smells great. The vintage style tin is adorable and you can even use the salve on dry skin or sunburns. This stuff never leaves my handbag!

Cetaphil

Cetaphil - $8 at Walgreen's.

Cetaphil is definitely one of the products I could never live without. It's extremely gentle and great for all skin types. My dermatologist first introduced me to Cetaphil products years ago and I haven't used another cleanser since. Another reason I love their cleanser is because you can use it as a makeup remover without water.


What are some of your beauty must haves?

TrueBlood: In Production



Season 3 of TrueBlood is back in production! Check out HBO's latest promo... I can't wait for it to air this summer because this show hurts so good.

This season we'll see some new blood. Kevin Alejandro, Linsday Pulsipher, Denis O'Hare, Marshall Allman, Theo Alexander, and Grant Bowler will all be joining the cast. However, I'm most excited for the addition of Joe Manganiello as Alcide!
