Oh Dexter!

Two years ago I randomly threw Dexter: The First Season into my Netflix queue.  Little did I know how absolutely addicted I would become to this series. 

Season One had me shocked to be rooting for a serial killer.  But Michael C. Hall plays the character so well that you can't help but love him.

Dexter: The Second Season was my favorite (until season 4) as all hell brakes loose and each episode left me rushing to the next one.  This season is also where I developed a creepy crush on "Dexter" (not Michael C. Hall the actor).  I couldn't help it!

Dexter: The Third Season had some dark moments that definitely factored into Dexter's twisted psyche, but was my lease favorite of all the seasons. 

Dexter: The Fourth Season was hands down the most incredible season of television I have ever watched.  I laughed, I cried, I gasped and was left needing more immediately.  John Lithgow won an Emmy for Best Guest Actor on a Drama and trust me when I say you will never look at John Lithgow the same again. 

Which left me dying for the Season Five premiere last night...

And sadly, I was left feeling ehhh after last nights episode.  I am not sure I like where they are headed...I feel like the last season was so good and so intense that this season just seems doomed a little?  I don't know, I am going to try and stay positive but I just wanted more last night, you know? 

Which has me wondering a few things....do any of you watch Dexter?  Do you have a crush on Dexter?  What is your favorite season of Dexter so far? And without spoiling anything, what did you think about last nights premiere? 

Song Of The Week: Like A G6

This past Labor Day Weekend, Mrs. R asked me if I was familiar with the song "Like A G6".  Much to her shock, I was not familiar and she immediately downloaded it and introduced me to what is fast becoming one of my new faves. 

In fact I need to apologize to my coworkers, softball players, and friends as all I have been singing for the last few days is the lyrics, "Like A G6, Like A G6" which I am sure is highly annoying.  This song gets me pumped up for whatever I need to do for the day.  Heading to the gym "Like A G6", walking to my softball game "Like A G6", getting ready to celebrate Septemberfrest 2010 and Mr. R's birthday, you guessed it...."Like A G6". 

In fact, I think I will start off my Monday right now, "Like A G6".

"Magic" Makeup

Those who know me, know my immense hate dislike for anything involving magic.  The word alone makes me scrunch my nose in disgust.  Which is going to make getting through this post a little more difficult, but I think the products are worth it, even if they both contain the word magic.  Here goes....

Having a Sephora across the street from work is both good and bad.  Good because I get to see and test all the new products, bad because I then want to spend all of my paycheck buying these new products.  My self control has been pretty good as of late, but I fear it will be crumbling soon after trying Givenchy's Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip & Cheek Balm .  This stuff gives you the prettiest dewy glow that is specific to your skin tone.  I tried it out and got a nice shade of pink, while my co-worker ended up with a little more a rosy color.  In any case, it gave us both a very pretty cheeky look and has me wanted to buy, buy, buy now.

I then proceeded to try out Tarina Tarantino's Odyssey Magic Hour Cream Shadow in Nebula (a shimmery white) just under my eyebrows as a highlighter and to lighten up my eyeshadow a bit and this stuff glides on so easy and really just made my eyes pop a little bit and look less tired (bonus).  It is the perfect shadow to layer over a smokey eye so you don't end up looking like Taylor Momsen (yikes). 

I suppose somehow, someway, I can get over my extreme hatred dislike of magic, just for these two products....

Song Of The Week: Dog Days Are Over

I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but I had no idea who Florence + the Machine was until I watched the VMA's on September 12th.  I had seen the Lungs album at Starbucks and on Itunes but never really investigated further than that. 

Then I watched this, and realized I had heard this song before in the "Eat, Pray, Love" trailer.  Well my friends, I am absolutely 100% addicted to this song.  "Dog Days Are Over" has become my "happy song".  I listen to it every morning when I wake up and walk Waldo, and then I listen to it in my car on the way into work (stuck in traffic) and then I listen again on my way home and slap my hands to the beat on the steering wheel.  It is so hard to not sing along with or dance to this song when it is on. 

Needless to say, I purchased the entire album and it does not disappoint.  Florence Welch has quite an incredible voice and she sounds equally as amazing performing live.  In fact, I just read that she was discovered at nightclub in London by a music agent, singing in the bathroom drunk.  Quite a claim to fame story if you ask me. 

What's your "happy song"?

Forever Frugal Friday

I have been eyeing this skirt at Forever for about two months now.  Contemplating whether I really need it or really like it that much.  Well, at the engagement party I attended on Sunday, a guest was wearing this skirt and I realized that I do REALLY want it and need it.  I am thinking it would be cute with a button down and blazer at work and then a tank, cardi and boots for dinner with the girls.  In any case, this Striped Skirt w/ Belt is ridiculously cute and looks like you got it from Anthropologie not Forever 21.  Done and done.
