Smelling fresh out of the oven!

Ok, so tonight was not a very active night for me having to babysit for almost 7 hours, two boys who had to be in bed by 8. What did that leave me to do until past midnight? Watch episodes of "Law and Order" and "Millionaire Matchmaker" for 4 consecutive hours. (I know, nice duet of shows). But, I must say I learned something new tonight, this time from my dear friend Patti. The advice? I must now smell like a delicious freshly baked pumpkin pie with a ball of lavender ice cream slapped on top. (Do they even sell this "aroma" at the Macy's counter? I bet Bath and Body Works has it!) I thought this was quite odd but I did my research and turns out that these smells are quite a turn on for men. Other WEIRD smells guys are "aroused" by are those of doughnuts, cinnamon buns and licorice. I guess those darn 500 calorie Cinnabons do have a purpose in life, eating them is not one of them!! Anyways, I think next time you should take your guy on a date to your local Krispy Kreme and test this out. Just make sure that "HOT NOW" red light doesn't turn on because of you guys. ;) Now I'm hungry!!

¿Quién dijo que se acabaron las Navidades?

Muchos pueden pensar que ya las Navidades acabaron, pero para una islita en el Caribe, aún las luces de navidad siguen prendidas y el arbolito en pie. Hoy 9 de enero comienza la tradición puertorriqueña de las Octavas y las Octavitas. Está tradición supone seguir celebrando 14 días más después del día de los Tres Reyes Magos. En los tiempos de antes cuando nuestros abuelitos eran pequeños, las octavas y octavitas llevaban un significado más religioso. Hoy en día, esta tradición se utiliza para aquellos que se les llevó una parranda durante las navidades pero no estaban en casa. Durante las Octavas y Octavitas, esas personas que no estaban en casa deben ahora llevar la parranda a casa de sus amistades. Y ¿qué es una parranda? Mira mi reportaje especial de Navidad y ahí aprenderás un poquito más acerca de nuestras tradiciones puertorriqueñas. A sacar el coquito!!! :)

T.I. and Christina Aguilera behind castle walls?

Ok, so this song has been going around since mid November last year but I just heard about it now. It's kinda weird to say that my brother was the one who actually told me about this song, but hey, you get good information from everyone these days. I actually really like this song and I'm so glad Christina is back to the recording studios because this girl just has an amazing voice. The music video has not come out yet, but I will try to put it on here when it does! Enjoy the song behind your castle walls and tell me what you think.

Now be honest, how many of you tuned in to Jersey Shore tonight?

You can say all you want, but I know that your behind was either comfortably placed in your sofa or bed and your eyes were glued to the TV at precisely 9:59pm anxiously waiting for the premiere of Jersey Shore's season 3. And let's not forget those who where already glued to the TV hours before watching the marathon because they had missed some of the episodes last season *cough*me*cough*. But you know what? I will say it loud and proud "I am a Jersey Shore fan", but I guess I don't need to announce it because anyone who knows me, would know I am, and if you didn't just look at who I dressed as this Halloween. Now, what is it that Jersey Shore has that is just impossible to not like or watch? I mean my mother today was actually excited to watch the premiere and see who this new "esnooki gemela" was. Is it the fact that the girls solve problems with repeating the fact that they are all bitches? Is it that boys secretly wish they could always have t-shirt time? Or the fact that you could describe all your feelings by just saying "waaaaah"? What ever the reason is, this show seems to be getting a lot of fans (some like my mother) and no matter how much it is being criticized, the show is fist pumping! Now I would like to know, why do YOU like Jersey Shore? Enjoy my "chonga" version of Snookie :)
