Totally blown away by Feist - Juno Awards

Posted on April 6th, 2008 in Avril Lavigne, Awards, Entertainment, Feist, Finger Eleven, Music, Musicians, Television, The scoop, music awards

I’m watching the Juno Awards - that’s Canada’s music awards which are our equivalent to the Grammy’s and Feist is taking a lot of awards.

The Juno’s are held over two days. There was a private dinner ceremony on Saturday night where the bulk of the awards were handed out. Feist pretty much took the big awards - Artist of the year and Song writer of the year.

Other than seeing her perform her song 1234 for the itunes/ ipod commercial on TV I’ve never really seen Feist perform.

I can’t say that anymore! She performed at the Juno’s and totally blew me away. In some ways she reminded me a little bit of Bjork but with a much more mainstream sound. I’d love to go to one of her concerts. I’m sure she’d be a performer worth seeing.

Avril Lavigne also performed at the Junos. She sang Girlfriend. Her backup dancers where sturdy looking girls. It a way it was nice to see more “every woman” type dancers highlighted in an area where usually only the thin and skeletal get to play.

Other big winners at the Juno’s were Finger Eleven for Rock Album of the Year - Them Vs. You Vs. Me.

Get Sexy Full Seductive Lips with Celebrity Sexy Lips Plumper

Posted on February 13th, 2008 in Beauty, Fashion Trends, Gift Ideas, Health and Fitness, Home and Lifestyle, Items to Try, Plastic Surgery, Shopping

In the last decade or so the popularity of Cosmetic and Plastic surgery has increased. It’s not just celebrities or the rich who are getting work done anymore either! Everyday people - men, women, and even teens are having procedures done to fix problem areas or in some cases to boost their self esteem.

I’m a nurse and I used to work for a plastic surgeon. After seeing so many people come in to everything from signs of aging to lopsided breasts treated I even began to consider the possibility of having some work done. I never did have any treatments, but I did consider trying Botox to get rid of a few lines and some of the other products that fill in lines or that are used to plump lips.

One of the reasons that I never tried any of the popular treatments while I worked with the plastic surgeon was that I really didn’t need it at the time nor could I justify the cost. Sure I probably would have had a great discount since I worked at the clinic, but it still would have been expensive!

I wasn’t that big on the idea of having injections in my lips either. Ow! I can only imagine how painful that would be! Plus, what if the treatment went wrong? We’ve all heard stories of people with lumpy lips or frozen expressions after some of these treatments. I’ve even seen the results of treatments gone bad! Oh not by the doctor I worked with … no, it was clients coming in to see if a treatment that they’d had done elsewhere could be fixed.

Luckily for those of us who want to have fuller sexier lips there’s a topical product that we can try. Think about it … you can have fuller lips without the pain of having injections! Oh and the price is more than reasonable too.

So what product am I talking about? Well, it’s called celebrity sexy lip plumper. It will give you a sexy pout just like many of your favorite celebrities. Think perhaps Angelina Jolie’s lips … full, beautiful and very sexy.

I’ve never tried any of the lip plumping products that are on the market, but I’ve heard that some can cause a stinging or cause dry chapped lips. Luckily this lip plumper doesn’t cause any drying or chapping nor does it cause burning or irritation. Just apply it as you would lip gloss and the active ingredients will draw moisture in to plump your lips while also protecting and nourishing your lips at the same time.

Sounds like it’s worth trying, doesn’t it? The website states that Celebrity Sexy Lips is the only plumper with both immediate and long term results. They also have a fantastic guarantee. If for any reason you aren’t completely satisfied with their lip plumper you can return it for a full refund. No questions asked.

Celebrity Sexy Lip plumper has also been discussed over at Something Stylish, OH! Oxygen, E Entertainment Television, Extra, Ok! Weekly, Style and VHR. This lip plumper must be gaining in popularity if all of these celebrity and entertainment related companies are buzzing about it.

Wordless Wednesday

Remind you of anyone?

I think this wigged dog looks a bit like Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island. Or maybe not. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw this photo though.
