Maker's Mark AKA: A Very Manly Drink of the Week

Like most people, after a long stressful day, I enjoy putting my feet up and sipping on something a little more potent than the Sunny D in fridge. Truth be told, I’ve never been much of a whiskey drinker, but with my New Year’s resolution #5 being “trying new things” I decided to go outside my comfort zone. Perusing the aisles looking for a new brand of liquid relaxation to add to my favorites list, I asked the salesman for a good whiskey and he immediately directed me to Maker’s Mark.

Julep Nails Lashes! AKA Julep's American Beauty Volumizing Mascara

Do you like my little pun in the title? Lol. You all already know how much I love Julep and their awesome polishes and even more stellar subscription service, but who knew they could hit the ball out of the park with mascara too!

Let There Be Light-James Bond Style!

As bright as it is sleek and beautiful, there is only one word that describes the Eon Classic flashlight right out of the box…blinding (literally)!

Game Day Feasting! AKA: Cumin Spiced Steak Tacos with Chipotle CherrySalsa

Like most successful families, we try to maintain a united front at all times, but when it comes to football, all bets are off! I’m from New Jersey and she’s from Georgia, so it should go without saying that my wife and I don’t necessarily see eye to eye come game day. Take it from me, there’s nothing worse than sitting next to her (yelling "RISE UP!!" every chance she gets and goading our girls to do it as well) while watching my Giants lose to her beloved Falcons. But yesterday, she and I did manage to agree on one very important thing…GAME DAY CUISINE!!

Kerry Washington at the Golden Globes! AKA: Get the Look with Lancome and John Frieda

I'm obsessed with the TV show Scandal, and it's star, Kerry Washington, always looks so put together, on and off screen. I wasn't a fan of the Miu Miu dress she sported, but as usual, her hair and makeup were impeccable! If you're interested in recreating the look for your special night out, here are the details from her makeup artist, Carola Gonzalez:
