Kim Kardashian Hair

Kim Kardashian Hair

Recently on her website, Kim Karshian hair tips were shared by the reality star herself. This article will share some of the tips she shared with her fans.

The first tip given out by Kim Karshian was that she doesn't wash and style her hair everyday because she thinks that is too much stress for anyone's hair to handle. Another Kim Karshian hair tip was that she thinks curls usually look better on the day after. Kim Karshian pointed to her Playboy photo shoot as the evidence to back up her claims. One last tip shared by the Kardashian sister was to recommend the purchase of an ionic straightener. Not everyone has the right hair for the voluminous curls Kim Karshian often has in her hair, so don't be surprised if her tips and hairstyles don't work for you. For more Kim Karshian hair tips, check out her website.

Wedding Wednesday - V. VIIII

heeeeere we are - another edition of Wedding Wednesdays! I was really close to forgetting about posting today. wooops! if you're new around here, I'll let you in on the fun - every Wednesday, I take the opportunity to be completely vain and shamelessly post fab pictures from my August wedding. every week has a theme, and I plan on keeping it going until I run out of pictures. if you'd like to see past installments of WW, click here! if not, then just go fuck yourself. (thank you Chelsea Handler, for allowing that phrase to make it into my daily phrase rotation).

we're going to have a short and sweet post today because, well, it's 4:30 here and I get off work at 5, and tonight, MandeeFoFandee has a hot sushi date with her best friend, who will probably bitch me out/make fun of me for referring to myself in the third person, because she's brutally honest like that. :)

sooooo this week, I'm going to make it simple. I'm going to post a couple of my favorite pictures from our ceremony. in case you didn't know (and why would you, unless you were actually a guest at our wedding... duh), we wrote our entire ceremony. well, that's a lie - we didn't come up with every single passage or saying or what have you. basically, our officiant (remember folks, we're atheist, so we had a non-denominational minister marry us) gave us a big ass PDF file of all the selections we could choose from (75 pages worth), and I picked out all the ones that I felt reflected our relationship the best, made some tweaks, added a hearfelt reading, and that was our ceremony. I read through every single selection to make sure I had the best fitting ones for us. it was written to represent our relationship to the fullest and I couldn't tell you how many people approached us afterward to tell us that our ceremony was so "us." it was beautiful, and it was perfect. ANYWAY, let me stop rambling and post some pretty pictures for you guys.

As always, all photos are credited to the lovely and talented Jen, from JLowe Photos. If you'd like to see more of her work, feel free to visit her blog here.

FACT: we played The Chicken Dance during our recessional. Mr. FoFandee wanted to play The Chicken Dance SO badly during the reception, and I politely voted "no way in hell" to that idea. I decided to surprise him and have our violinist play it after our first kiss as husband and wife. it was a huge hit, and he was definitely shocked! haha!

Happy Wednesday!

ricky martin boyfriend


Ricky Martin boyfriend photos: "I'm doing great! Stronger than ever" singer reveals on Twitter

Ricky Martin has been in the top of the celeb news this week with his announcement that he is indeed gay. The singer, famous for songs “La Vida Loca” and "She Bangs" is now a hot topic on the Internet as people search for Ricky Martin boyfriend photos.

Martin used his Twitter account on Tuesday night to express his appreciation for the love and support he has received in light of his not surprising announcement.

Whats going on gang?I'm doing great!Stronger than ever!I'm here relaxing @ home enjoying ur messages!I feel the love!Thanx for all!peace

The Latin singing sensation admitted to being a “fortunate” gay man. He is the father of twin boys that were born to a surrogate mother in 2008.

As far as the search for boyfriend photos or information on Ricky Martin's boyfriend, enough already. Although he's a celebrity, he's still a human being who should be afforded some privacy. Good for you, Ricky, for being proud of who you are.

April Fools Pranks

Google Pranks: A History Of The Companies April Fool’s Day Jokes

Google has a history of pulling off various April Fools day pranks. We have a list dating back to 2000 which features various Google pranks pulled on unsuspecting site visitors. From toilet internet services to jobs on the moon, here are some of our favorite classic Google pranks.

MentalPlex (2000): Just sit in front of your computer and Google will scan your brainwave activity, your past browser history and your mouse movements to figure out where you want to go.

Pigeon Based Ranking System (2002): Google announces that they use pigeons to peck away randomly on their computers to find websites. They claim the pigeons are able to grab information at random, allowing for a more meshed web. The idea behind the algorithm was well thought out for the prank.



Google “Moon” Jobs (2004): This April Fool’s Day joke was part of the companies “Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (G.C.H.E.E.S.E.)” Here’s what the job posting said:

Brain Drink That Makes You Think Faster (2005): If Coca-Cola announced this product the speculation would fly, but leave it to Google to reel in a bunch of onlookers. Our favorite part? Google claims the human DNA code is read with a special sensor on the lip of the bottle. According to Google our DNA is just 3 Gigabytes in size.

Google Contextual Dating (2006): Here’s a new way to date, Contextually! If you prefer speed dating contextually Google was also offering the ability to send a mass upload file to their servers. Sure the idea was a bit silly but since 2006 online dating has exploded, albeit not contextually.

Google Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) (2007): Flush your toilet to send your next Gmail message to your friends, family and co-workers, It was the dumbest of the April Fool’s pranks, but I had at least two or three friends email me and ask how I thought it worked.

Google Worldwide Rickrolling + Other Pranks (2008): This is another odd option from Google, they rickrolled the world, including all videos on YouTube. Google also announced gDay, a product that could add Adsense to conversations. They also rolled out a service that could “search pages a day before they’re created.” Basically in 2008 Google went a little prank crazy.

Google Chrome 3D Browser (2009): Google pulled 17 pranks in 2009, but the best by far was their Google Chrome 3D Browser. Basically it blurred everything as if you were watching 3D movies without the glasses.

Now remember, tomorrow is April Fool’s day and given Google’s history of pranking the public, you’ll probably want to be on the lookout.

Is there another Google Prank you prefer over those we’ve listed? Feel free to share your favorites.

riddle me this

I have an irrational fear of being hit by flying objects... more specifically, baseballs and hockey pucks at sporting events. I'm also one of those idiots who, when seeing a flying object coming towards my windshield, I duck. inside my car. where the flying item cannot touch me.


I'm pretty sure that I'm -----><----- this close to having a heart attack every time the Caps play. including right now.


I have a pimple popping addiction. it's gross, I know, but I can't help it. sometimes I rub Mr. MandeeFoFandee's back just to feel for bigguns that I can squeeze. it also helps that he squirms like a little girl every time I get a good one.


when people talk to me about their kids, I automatically think of a similar story I could tell involving my cats. I always compare their kids' actions to something my cat(s) did at one point in time. I'm always telling people about stupid shit my cats do, and how hilarious it was. I don't think anyone really gets it but me, haha.


I am completely and utterly freakedthefuckout by fruit flies.




alright, that's all I got right now. the Caps game is gettin' serious and I need to pay attention. night, bitches!

kitchen inspiration

well, we've decided to take the plunge and begin our kitchen transformation. I've talked about it here and here before. you can see the list of things we're going to attempt to accomplish in my spring cleaning post.

we're making a trip out to our semi-local (meaning it's still 1+ hour away) Ikea this weekend to scope out some kitchen needs - counter tops, knobs and handles, and lighting. we're going to paint the cabinets white, so I decided to look for some inspiration for our freaking huge little renovation/revamp project. I want our kitchen to be crisp, bright, and modern. I want clean lines and funky green accents. I want it all, and I want it now! (Veruca Salt anyone?)

oh, and let me also let you in on a little secret - my kitchen is probably 1/3 of the size of these kitchens pictured below. the entire space itself is pretty sizable, but the kitchen is small and the room is oblong. FML, right? not so much. I'm gunna make this shit work. here's my sad attempt very professional drawing of our kitchen. pretty!



I tried to find all the sources for these pictures, but we all know that doesn't always work out. If you know where any of these unclaimed pictures belong, please share... so I don't feel like an asshole!

GAH, I love looking at kitchens, don't you? I'm really excited to start this process, but also terrified that we'll slip out of our budget. I'm going to be contacting a few contractors this week to give us a price on removing the current floors, leveling the subfloor, and installing the same hardwood we have throughout the house. once the floor is done, it's all FoFandee action from there!

READER question: if you could change one thing about your kitchen, what would it be?


Happy Tuesday, fuckheads!

well that is just ridiculous.

it's official. I have a new favorite comedian. If Chelsea Handler ever comes to do stand-up comedy near your town and you don't take the opportunity to see her (and consequently laugh your fucking ass off), you're a fucking idiot.

seriously. I've seen a handful of comedians perform live (including Louis CK, Bob Saget, and Todd Barry), and I've honestly never had such horrible slash amazing stomach pains from laughing so hard. I love Chelsea for many reasons. she's not afraid to make sexual jokes, especially those that make her seem a little slutty, which I think is WONDERFUL. she also cusses... a LOT... I'm pretty sure she said "hey, why don't you go fuck yourself" at least 7 times during her show on Saturday night. she's not afraid to joke about controversial issues, such as race and abortion.

I wish I could have taped her show, if only to be able to repeat some of her stand-up to prove to everyone that she really IS hilarious. I didn't even take any pictures - they said no cameras allowed (even though I had mine), and people still took tons of pictures. I was too busy wiping laugh tears from my eyes to even worry about a camera. I've got her most recent book on my Amazon wish list as we speak - they were selling copies at the show, but I didn't realize it until AFTER the show, when we were being shoved through the halls and doors like cattle.


the rest of the night panned out excellent as well - after the show, Renee & I met back up with the men folk at Buffalo Billiards in Dupont Circle to watch the UFC fight. what a CROCK that fight was. it didn't matter though - I was still in my Chelsea high and happy to be spending time with good friends, while enjoying some cold beer. the only thing that could have made the night better would be if the guys had stolen us some chairs to place our asses in. our poor feet were on FIRE!

_______________________________________________

I made a trip to Target on Saturday afternoon to pick up a last minute gift for a birthday party, and I happened to stumble into the home section. "whoaaaa, how did I get HERE? this isn't the baby toy section! oh well... might as well browse..."

I've been telling Mr. MandeeFoFandee that I wanted to add a little more color to our living room. right now, we've got green walls, a light tan couch (ah, the joys of being childless), and throw pillows in brown, green, tan... all with hints of red and gold. it's just very "fall-ish" to me, and I wanted to brighten it up for spring and summer. I wanted some pops of yellow, some glassy textures (all our furniture is dark wood, which is really heavy in this room), and a fake flower or two so the cats wouldn't be poisoned. oh yeah, they eat plants. they're fucking assholes.

for reference, here's a picture of our living room a few months ago... we had just hung our curtains and had yet to unpack all our pillows we'd purchased from Pier One (we have two of these, which are not shown on the couch). please note that this was taken with my cell phone, and it was night time. but I still need fuckin' lamps in here anyway.

that centerpiece is what I consider to be a "fall" centerpiece - smells of amber and contains either red or green candles...

and so that was my goal while perusing through Target's home section. I didn't want to spend much money, and wanted to make sure to pick up items that would be versatile through different rooms in our home. so. I thought I'd share my findings here with you, since I know so many of you are home decor bloggers!

disclaimer: I haven't taken a picture of everything in the space yet, but I promise, it's looking much brighter in here already!

I picked up the following little beauties:

this sweet little faux hydrangea to be placed atop our entertainment center - $5.99



it's a good thing I took a picture of this lovely, cause I can't find it on Target's site...
two of these gorgeous yellow & white damask pillars - one for each end table - $6.99 each
they sit on two candle plates, which were $2.50 each


this gorgeous little burst of sunshine was only about $15.00!



and now... my new coffee table centerpiece!
fruit fillers ($6.99)



small-ish glass vase





pretty summer centerpiece!



I got a gift card to Pier 1 from my best friend for my birthday, so we'll be making a little trip there this weekend to see if I can find anything to add to the living room or bedroom. we're also venturing out to Ikea to look for desks and bookshelves for our soon-to-be office! can't wait!

I hope everyone else had a great weekend! My legs are still recovering from what seemed like a 5 mile walk around chilly/breezy DC on Saturday... and my Mister refuses to give foot rubs. BAH HUMBUG to him, I say.

passover 2010


Passover 2010 Story: The four themes & Seder meal

Its Passover time for 2010, or Pesach, as it’s known in Hebrew, and it’s the Jewish practice that’s most widespread across the world. A lot of people are not sure what Passover is really all about so we’ll try to give you some idea. It really all revolves around the concept of liberation and how we all need to free ourselves from our personal Egypt, or “tight spot”.

Passover is a celebration of making that move for freedom or ridding ourselves from oppression and is marked in many ways. Brad Hirschfield, via the Huffington Post, feels that there are 4 main themes to Passover. Principle One involves expanding our scope of empathy, listening to people in need and helping out where we can.

Principle Two involves questioning everything, and as much as possible, as questioning signifies freedom, even if we don’t always like the answers. Principle Three is all about liberation and remembering that while this means being free, it cannot be gained by not having obligations to others, or not being accountable for our actions.

Finally Principle Four is a reminder of the importance of people in our lives, from inviting people to sit for dinner together, and recognizing the significance of kinship and friendship. One of the special Passover traditions is the ritual Seder dinner, which represents togetherness of people. So here in a nutshell is what Passover is all about, and we hope you can celebrate your own personal path to liberation, whatever that may be.

palm sunday


Christian pilgrims mark Palm Sunday in Jerusalem

Christians from around the world are commemorating Palm Sunday in the Jerusalem, singing hymns and bearing palm fronds as they celebrate Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into the holy city 2,000 years ago.

Pilgrims and local Christians came to Jerusalem's Old City to attend mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, traditionally held to be the site of Jesus' crucifixion.

Others celebrated at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem — the town of Jesus' birth — and in the Gaza Strip, home to a small Christian population.

According to the New Testament, Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, greeted by cheering crowds bearing palm fronds. For most Christians, it marks the start of Holy Week, which concludes with Easter the following Sunday.

random thoughts Friday? okay!

you know what I really hate? when you feel the rumblings of a good BM, and it turns out just to be a fart. biggest disappointment EVER. I feel like this situation definitely makes my top 10 list of things that piss me off.

________________________________________________

I ordered my previously mentioned Bentley last night. it retails on Amazon for $51.55, but since I had a $25 gift card, it only cost me $26.55 (I qualified for free shipping). I cannot wait to get it. I will be stalking the mailbox religiously and awaiting it's arrival. my first project will be adding some length to our curtains - we originally bought them at a shorter length, due to our baseboard heating... we didn't want it covering the baseboards. but now that spring time is here and I'm really starting to HATE how short they are, it's time to spruce them up a little bit. thanks to some helpful tips from my girl, Melodie (inspired by her curatin revamp post here), I should be able to pull it off without any problems (fingers crossed). for a little reminder, here's the beaut that will be ALL MINE in a few short days:

_________________________________________________

tomorrow night, I will be graced in the company of my friend Renee and we will be enjoying the comedic stylings of a Ms. Chelsea Handler in DC. I'm super excited - 1, because I get to spend some one on one girl time with Renee, which doesn't happen very often, and 2, it's Chelsea fucking Handler, and that bitch is hilarious.



_________________________________________________

Remember that Spring Cleaning list I made a couple weeks ago? I haven't even started one thing on that list. it's so hard for me to get motivated, and it sucks. there are so many on-going projects I have in my head regarding our house, and I can't seem to find the time to organize them (in my head) and get started. it's completely overwhelming and it leads to me just shutting down and leaving the house as-is. SO frustrating. I've been doing really well at keeping the house decent looking and continuing to do little things every night to keep up with daily mess, but the actual hardcore cleaning just keeps getting pushed back farther on the calendar.

__________________________________________________

We should be getting our federal tax refund aaaaany day now, and I'm itching to go shopping. I have a few things on my Amazon wish list, including this L shaped workstation. it got a couple good reviews, and I love the way it looks - it would fit perfectly in our "office" and I love the modern look of it - the sleek lines and metal mesh panels are so attractive! I know I could probably find something cheaper at Ikea, but this one really just calls to me, and for only $200, I don't think it would be a bad investment.


______________________________________________

I recently switched to Nuva Ring. I'd been on the Depo Provera birth control shot for almost 6 years, and since we plan on having kids in the next couple years, I decided it was time to switch to something a little less... harsh, I guess. I love the Ring so far, except for one tiny side effect. my fucking boobs hurt ALL THE TIME. doesn't matter if I am or am not wearing a bra, doesn't matter if I slept on my stomach, doesn't matter if it's close to the time to change the Ring... doesn't matter. they are constantly sore. a friend of mine told me she had this problem as well, and it never went away. I'm a little discouraged knowing that I could possibly have sore tits until I decide to get off birth control... but I really don't want to switch to something else. boo.

_____________________________________________

I play Scramble on Facebook. am I a nerd? yes. Mr. MandeeFoFandee is extemely competitive - he saw that I was playing this game a while back and decided he wanted to give a try as well... if only to beat the shit out of my high score. since then, we've gone back and forth beating each others' scores and having bragging rights in the FoFandee household. his last high score was 220 (which only beat my previous score by 6 points, I might add). well the other day, I wiped the floor with his ass, scoring 252. two hundred fifty-two points... beating his top score by... oh... let's say 32 points!

I promise, I'm not as competitive as it seems. ;)

_______________________________________________


I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, and I hope the weather is nice wherever you are! it's only supposed to be in the 50s this week here in DC, so I gotta make sure to bundle up! if you're in the DC area and happen to see our gorgeous cherry blossoms, be sure to take some pictures and share them!

youtube down


No YouTube Is Not Down (And You Can Still Watch Brigitte Daguerre or any other Videos)

There's a swirling message going around today saying that youtube was down but in fact www.youtube.com is working just fine and you can still search for hot topics like Brigitte Daguerre. There are alot of videos you can watch at youtube, if I had to make a suggestion check out a guy called Redneckrickem on there. He's good for a few laughs.

Apparantly, some users weren't able to log onto the YouTube website earlier today around 7 o'clock in the morning. They saw a message telling them that the service was unavailable.

Anyone who is looking for anything, can literally find some sort of a video of it on youtube whether you're looking for sports, news, politics, cartoons, movie clips, and all around comedy - it's all there.

Wedding Wednesday - V. III

Lookie here, I'm actually posting WW on time this week! Score! Since my birthday was this week, I'm going to celebrate by posting pictures of our cake!

If you'd like to see past installments of WW, click here.

We had a family friend make our cake for us, and not only was it beautiful to look at, it was delicious! She really made my vision for the cake come alive, and I was SO happy with how it looked - it was exactly as I pictured it would be! We alternated flavors within the layers - the bottom layer was lemon cake with vanilla butter cream, the second layer was "orange dreamsicle" (orange cake with vanilla butter cream), the third layer was another layer of the lemon and the top was red velvet. I wanted to keep the flavors light and airy due to the heat of our August wedding, and I was so pleased with how it worked out. We saved the top tier (the red velvet) for our first anniversary, and it is currently taking up space in the husband's parent's freezer.

We had decided long before the wedding that we would ABSOLUTELY be smashing cake into each others' faces. There's just no way we could be nice when there's an anticipiated food fight involved. Mission accomplished. :)

As always, all photos are credited to the lovely and talented Jen, from JLowe Photos. If you'd like to see more of her work, feel free to visit her blog here.











speaking of cake... I have some leftover Banana Creme Cheesecake leftover sitting in my work fridge right now. I might have to dig into that later.

Happy Wednesday, folks!
