Crowdtap:Sweat It Out in Old Navy Activewear!

First off, Happy New Year! At the beginning of every year, we all vow to make New Year's resolutions and set goals for ourselves throughout the year. I am running a little low on the motivation so far this year so this was a great way to help get me motivated to going to the gym. 

BzzAgent: Covergirl Blast Flipsticks Review

I am nowhere near as beautiful as Sofia Vergara, that's a fact.  But what's true is that I really love getting FREE stuff!  I am so happy to have the opportunity to review the newest line of Covergirl lipsticks called "Blast Flipsticks".  Each Flipstick comes with two different colors.  One is a lighter, more shimmery color that can be used during the day and the other is a dark, bold color that you can wear at night.  The texture of the lipstick itself is really creamy and the color actually stays on for quite a good amount of time.  What makes this lipstick somewhat unique is that you can mix both colors to produce a new color effect, which I appreciate.  It's like getting two lipsticks for the price of one!  For those who know me, I'm all about a bargain.  :)

But you know what?  I wasn't a huge fan of the two colors BzzAgent sent as samples.  The colors minx and vixen were definitely not made for my skin color.  I personally would never choose these colors for myself but appreciate the free products very much. I liked the texture though and the fact that the color didn't stain my teeth and that the color remained on my lips for hours even between meals.  So I will use my coupons to try some different colors and hopefully I will find one I will like!  

THANKS BZZAGENT!

One2OneNetwork: Kylie Minogue's THE ABBEY ROAD SESSIONS Album Review

"Global icon and popstar sensation Kylie Minogue, is celebrating 25 years in music with the release of The Abbey Road Sessions.  The album, recorded in London at the legendary Abbey Road Studios with a full orchestra, features 16 classic Kylie songs, all radically reimagined and rearranged.

The album features many of Kylie's best-known hits including "I Should Be So Lucky", "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and "The Locomotion".  Other highlights include fan favorite but previously unreleased "Flower", a song she wrote years ago following her battle with breast cancer, an ode to the child she hopes to have one day. 

Across all 16 tracks, one thing becomes very clear - stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of her songs has never been clearer, nor has her voice ever sounded better.  For a preview of the album click here." -One2OneNetwork

My thoughts on the album is that it's not as bad as I expected it to be, nor is it as good as I wanted it to be.  I am not that huge of a fan of her voice.  I really thought Kylie Minogue was a one-hit wonder back in the day (1987) with "The Locomotion".  Then she came out with the song "I Should Be So Lucky" in 1988 and I thought that OK, maybe she does have potential.  She topped the charts for a long time with that one, I think.  I didn't hear much about her again until 2001 with her son "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".  Quite honestly, as much of a hit as that song was, I thought it was just plain annoying.  But then again, any song can get annoying after being played for the hundredth time in a given day.  So in all fairness, when I signed up to do a review of this album, I am coming from an already pretty biased background of not being a huge fan of Kylie Minogue.  I realize that there's something about her voice that I just don't like.  I think she's a talented woman and is considerably beautiful, I am just drawn by certain voices and styles of music. 

However, if I am to focus on the songs, I do like "I Believe In You", "Confide In Me", "Where The Wild Roses Grow, "Slow", and "Never Too Late".  "Flower" is probably the best song out of the whole album.  I have never heard these songs before so I am trying to give my honest review based on listening to them just twice.  I must confess this album didn't turn me into a new Kylie Minogue fan.  It's definitely meant for a certain audience and unfortunately I'm not one of them.  I am sure there is a huge fan base out there that will appreciate this album a lot more than I did.  :)
