Ingenious tip for your weekend organizing

by Amanda Paigeingenious1

Every once in a while something pops into your inbox that is actually useful, that you want to share for the greater good.  This photo is one of those things.  This would help me so much with clutter and cords falling everywhere and I am such an organizer.  

Now where did I put those binder clips??

Vegan BOGO in the house!

Ho, ho, ho to all my eco/animal friendly peeps! Susan Nichole is having a BOGO right now and, combined with their Thursday Facebook giveaway parties, it’s like Chanukah, Christmas, your birthday, 4th of July, Boxing day, unicorns and purple glitter all mixed into one moment. I’m so addicted to these bags and wallets right now that I’m in danger (or delight) of owning one of each.

I’m gifting them, I’m switching them up, I’m creating outfits around them—seriously, I feel like I did the first time I played with that big Barbie makeup head doll thingy and smeared Tinkerbell cosmetics all over my face.

How could my ecstacy possibly go any higher? There are several internal pockets in these bags and my box of assorted Sweetspot Labs assortedset-1on-the-go-wipettes fits nicely inside one of them!

O.K., now I’m getting giddy. Not only do I, as a vegan, have the option of really stylish and well-designed handbags, but they honor my intimate grooming ritual too! In the bag pictured here, the Sierra, I was able to slip my bidet-in-a-bottle into it for an unexpected overnight and, though the accommodations were “rustic”, I felt refreshed and renewed. The “outdoorsy” types were p*ssed.

Seriously, I’m making myself sick at this point, so I’m going to sign off before I drown you all in more syrup. Check out the bags of vegan goddesses, stock up on your wipettes, and twirl through the holidays with the joy of a child. I know I will, with a stunning purse filled with sweet everythings.

Dressed as Dinner?

Lady Gaga

by Amanda Paige

Ok, somehow some of you have not seen this Lady Gaga dress that donned the Video Music Awards, so I had to share.  When I saw this all I could think of was how that must have started to smell and how hard we here at SweetSpot Labs try to stay clean and pH balanced and here she goes not worrying about hygiene at all!  I can’t tell you how many times I wash my hands when dealing with meat, so this was just beyond my cleanly comprehension.  She must have been trying to top Justin Bieber’s YouTube numbers is all I can think!  But with 379,529,631 views for “Baby” and only 303,562,765 for “Bad Romance” she has got a long ways to catch up.   However, picking up 8 awards at the VMA’s including Best Female Video of the year should have made her happy, but Eva Longoria rained on her parade dressing as a Spanish Ham at the MTV EMA’s.  The singer failed to see the funny side and moaned to The Daily Mirror “Why can’t she stop stealing my ideas?”

My question is I wonder if Lady Gaga’s meat purse had any hand sanitzer in it?

The E Stands for Emergency, in eBra

by Sophia Marcelemergency20bra_604x341

The E in eBra does not stand for size cup, but rather it stands for emergency. My initial reaction was, this is too funny! Who comes up with this stuff?

According to FOXNews.com, the Emergency Bra can be the difference between life and death in a disaster.  All you do is simply unsnap the bright red bra, separate the cups, and slip it over face.  That’s it. And since there are 2 cups –  one for a lucky friend.

Dr. Elena Bodner is a genius wouldn’t you agree?  Her goal was to create an emergency respiratory device that filters the air in the event of a catastrophe. “You have to be prepared all the times, at any place, at any moment, and practically every woman wears a bra,” she said.

The patented devices not only look pretty, and no different from a conventional bra. Did I mention she won an Ignoble Award for the invention last year.  This award is intended to celebrate the unsual, and honor the imaginative –and spur people’s interest in science, medicine, and technology.

The eBra is now available to the public online for just $29.95.  According to a report on tech news site CNET, there are plans for a “counterpart device for men” in the works. Imagine that.

Taylor Swift Replaces Lindsay Lohan in Romantic Comedy”One Night With You”

by Sophia Marcel        thumbnailcarjc3g511

 

It appears Lindsay Lohan’s ongoing drug problems have given country sweetheart Taylor Swift her big movie break. Lohan had been projected to star in “One Night with You” but filmmakers have now considered go give the role to Swift. It’s the second major role Lohan has lost this year in April she was dropped from new movie “The Other Side”.

 

Writer/Producer Richard O’Sullivan had actually talked to Swift’s agent a few months back about replacing Lohan, but Taylor was in the middle of her tour.  Now with Lohan’s ongoing legal battles, they have taken the offer back to Taylor.

 

O’Sullivan initially offered Lohan the lead role after he wrote it with her in mind. It’s been reported O’Sullivan has said, ‘It is ready-made for Lindsay… but we’re proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time.’

 

The romantic comedy is about a young actress who joins a reality dating show in an attempt to salvage her career. But, as in most romantic comedies, things go awry when she becomes involved in a love/hate relationship with a handsome young bartender who hates the celebrity lifestyle.

 

It won’t be Swift’s first acting gig – the Love Story singer has appeared on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and in the film Valentine’s Day.

 

Lohan, meanwhile, is still onboard to star in the Linda Lovelace biopic “Inferno”, despite repeated delays in filming caused by the actress’ ongoing issues.

 

It truly is a shame that Lohan is not able to get her act together. She has served two jail stints, the latest a 10 hour stint last Friday. I suppose the first step to recovery is that she admits she has a problem, which has done recently. Let’s hope she acts on it and finally get the help that she desperately needs.

Always a Bridesmaid Never a Bride?

Her day is bliss, and now theirs will be too!
