Friday Favorites ... And New Year's

We all know how well I do with planning to blog and then, well, not ... So we'll skip past the promises.

But it is New Year's Day. And a Friday. So I'm giving Friday Favorites a go again.

Without further adieu... 

New Year's Resolutions
Do you make them? Are they work the effort? Some years I've made one. Others I've had a list of 20. One year I decided to do one a month. I think I lasted through February. 

And yet every year I'm kind of obsessed with wanting a new start and 365 days of brilliance. 

Or 366.

Maybe I need easier resolutions. Maybe I need tougher resolutions and more commitment. Maybe I need more ambition. 

Regardless ... I won't be resolving to give up procrastination so I'm giving myself until Monday 'cause, well holiday weekend. 

Suggestions are welcome. 

Electric Toothbrushes
I know. Amazon has a world full of fun toys and I'm ❤️ing a toothbrush? 

Lame, right? 

But my dentist keeps nagging me about replacing my $2 manual toothbrush with an electric one. 

So I Googled. And read reviews. 

I just figured I'd pick a toothbrush, hit the button and move on.

Except the best reviewed most popular one on the market is this bad boy ...



The Sonicare Diamondclean Professional Rechargable Toothbrush.

The damn thing has five different settings to make your teeth dance, timers for each quadrant of your mouth and is supposed to make you feel like you hair visited your dentist every morning. 

You can charge it on your laptop when you travel or in its own charging glass (yes you read that level of crazy right) when you're home. 

It's supposed to be magic. In a pretty purple package. 

And for the $189 price tag I feel like it should also brush my teeth for me and I should look like a damn Colgate model after a week. 

Anyone use this thing? Is it worth it? 

Vegas ... For a Day
It's been over a year since my last trip to Sin City and I'm going through withdrawal. 

Here's the problem ... My favorite pet of Vegas is always the pools. Which are closed in January. Bah. 

So I shall have to wait for a bit. 

But while I've been to Vegas maybe 10 times ... This time I have a plot twist. 

A friend of a friend recently did Vegas as a day trip on like a Wednesday. Which might be the most brilliant thing ever. Cause what says "screw you winter" like taking a personal day (cause calling in sick is bad), catching a 90-minute flight for $40 and spending a random Wednesday with vodka and cranberry in a Britney Bitch Cup at Mandalay Bay? 

Brilliant. You know it.
