When I first saw the Snuggie commercial, I died of laughter. When Jam saw it knew she couldn't resist. Every time she see's a dumb new product on TV, she wants it.
I'm not even sure if she has even cracked the box open yet to use it.
Jam's Christmas Shamwow gift
But the Snuggie is something else all together. At least the Shamwow can do something regular paper towel can't you know. I can't and will not cosign for this ish when all that's needed is a regular blanket. So no Jam, the Snuggie will not be one of your b days gifts no matter how much you hint at it. What I will will do is show you this here clip so that you can see that others agree how wutless this piece of garbage is...roll clip

Snuggie aka WTF Blanket
Fresh indeed
The trendy discount clothing Joe Fresh is adding cosmetics to the roster this spring. Prices will range from $4 and cap at $8, which is a hell of a lot cheaper then some products at drugstores . The full cosmetics line will have products for the lips, face and eyes.
Joseph Mimran, creator of Joe Fresh says we can expect eight eye products, with 61 shades in total; eight lip products, with 69 shades; seven face products, with 47 shades; 13 makeup brushes and 13 cosmetic accessories, including eyebrow grooming and pedicure kits.
If you don’t know who or what Joe Fresh is you’re seriously late. The “Joe” in question is Joseph Mimran. Mimran’s designs have been able to capture the latest runway trends and make them affordable. Insiders have labeled it as “cheap chic”. (Think a less flashy H&M.) Joe Fresh has been making waves since launching his discount trendy threads in selected Real Canadian Superstore’s and Loblaws since 2006, and is one of my personal favorites at the tents during Toronto Fashion Week. Joe Mimran has long been apart of the Canadian fashion scene with companies Alfred Sung, Club Monaco and Caban respectively.

It's A New Day
Former B.C. Lions CFL player and educator Dr. Christopher Spence has just been appointed Toronto District School Board director. Dr. Christopher Spence, a renowned educator is also a dedicated community advocate. Spence’s has been the Director of Education for Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board since September, 2004. He has over 15 years senior administration and teaching experience, much with the Toronto District School Board, and is the author several books.
His leadership role in working with the board of education and community at large to manage issues, develop policies and promote causes that benefit students and has achieved considerable results has been widely recognized. He had a significant role in the development of Boys 2 Men, Project G.O. (Girls only) and the Read to Succeed Program, which motivates and teaches boys to read. The successes of these programs were featured in a recent documentary about his life, "Person to Person" and in an article in the Reader's Digest entitled, "Man on a Mission."
Dr. Spence has lectured at my Alma Mater and unfortunately I’ve never had the opportunity to attend or meet him, but have met students under his guidance though my work at the Boys and Girls clubs of Toronto. Each explained how their involvement in one the reading programs under his direction had a significant impact on their lives. I’m eager for DR Spencer to get right to work and implement many of the same successful strategies that he has used previously in his outreach programs. Hopefully it will bring renewed interest and much needed structure to the to Toronto District School Board

Jamelia says: Ok I'm all for ethinc people running things. Big tings. BUT I HATE the fact that he supports black focused schools. He just lost major points. That's hella lame, I'm all for cheanging the school system as it stands right now, but I said it before and I'll say it again a black focused school is NOT the way to positive change. Campbell out....lol

Congrats to Sporty Spice
Who the hell knew that Sporty Spice was pregnant?! What the hell? Anyways, she's joined the Mommy Club with her fellow Spices. Melanie Chisolm gave birth to Scarlett Star on Sunday. The name's not as bad as it could have been, but I don't love it either. Whatevs, it's not my baby, so congratulations nevertheless!
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I saw the first Transformers movie and I thought it was good. I though the CGI was executed beautifully and it kept me interested when I was never a Transformers fan growing up. And not to mention Megatron's ( I think...he's the good one right...) voice is sexy as hell lmao. My boyfriend however LOVED this movie. I think he came in his pants the first time we saw the trailer. We saw it in theatres 4 times. Literally. Needless to say he, and I'm sure plenty of other men, are overjoyed that there is a sequel due to hit theatre's soon. So for him and all of the other people who care, here is the trailer:

Bolthouse Juices
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a serious love (borderline addiction) to smoothies and juices. My fav. pre packaged smoothie is hands down the line of smoothies Bolthouse has to offer. I think I've had every flavour they've produced (including the Vegetable/Fruit Smoothies...yumm). I am a very very happy customer. The drinks are 100% Natural and Organic and come in two sizes, Big and Little lol. They taste A-Mazingly delicious, although my counterpart Kizz believes they smell like ass which has deterred her from jumping onto my Bolthouse craze. I happen to think the smell is invigorating thank you very much! They hit the spot and you can buy the big ones for like $4 at your local Metro or other grocery stores. The best is when corner stores have them, I must purchase one and commend the cashier for carrying the product despite them probably having nothing to do with it being there. Love Love Love Bolthouse. I would have one every day if I could. If they want to sponser me, I mean this blog, I would not object. If you love me, buy me Bolthouse!
