2015 Oscars

Drumroll....the obligatory Oscars post.

Let me start by saying that I was reading through all of my old blog posts the other day and I realized that I was kind of mean and there was definite celeb shaming going on so I am going to try really hard not to do that anymore.

First of all, how great is Neil Patrick Harris as a host? I just love him.  He is so funny and talented and just all around awesome.  Have to say he was looking pretty good in his undies. He and his husband David Burtka are one of the cutest couples ever and they totes make my heart melt.  One time I saw them at the Four Seasons in SF and NPH held the door open for me. Sigh.

Let's talk about the dresses.  I actually wasn't that impressed with the dresses, most of them were just meh.

#1 best- Naomi Watts in Armani

I mean, wow- just wow. She looks so amazing. Dress is so cute and fun and modern.  Hair and make up totally on point.  She is one of my style icons, I think she always looks fab.  Plus her boyfriend is Ray Donovan.

#2 best- Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford

Love this classic dress by Tom Ford. It's totally her, her body looks amazing in it and I love the simple hair and make up.

#3 best- Rosamund Pike in Givenchy

I just love everything about this look.  The dress is classic with a sexy twist with the see through lace cut outs in the waist.  This is def the best she's looked all awards season.  Red shoes were kind of a surprise, but they work!  Only other choice you can really go with would be a nude or champagne color, but I can't even imagine that, I think red was the right choice.  Nice work!

#1 okay- Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab

Don't get me wrong, the dress is pretty and all, but I feel like this look has been done a million times.  Plus I think this dress is too young for her, it has a real girly quality to it which is not JLO's style.  I feel like this dress and the one she wore to the Globes were just too overdone.  It looks like she's trying too hard.  I love you JLO, but I have to put this in the fail category.

#2 okay- Scarlett Johansson in Atelier Versace

Her bod looks great and the color is really pretty, but her hair is really severe and I loathe her necklace.  If this dress was styled differently, it could've been a winner.  Maybe loose waves for the hair and diamond drop earrings with no necklace?

#3 okay- Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein

She is so beautiful, but I am not really feelin the top of this dress.  It's something about the pearls that I don't like.  It kind of reminds be on Kim Kardashian's necklace in the Break the Internet picture.  Also, this dress is reminiscent of a wedding gown.  I do have to give her props, the color looks great on her skin, and the cut of the dress is so pretty.  Wish the top was a different material.

The guys looked pretty handsome too!  Here are a few pics just for eye candy :)

Blue tuxes were a major trend for the guys this award's season and I absolutely love it!  It's a fresh twist to a classic look.  It can be tough to reinvent the tuxedo, and there's been lots of fails (think Dumb and Dumber), but the blue definitely passes the test.  I'd love to have any of these fellas on my arm!

All in all, it was a great show. A lot of the stars talked about causes they support in their speeches and also talked about their families, which was super cute.  Sad to say goodbye to awards season, but can't wait for next year's shows!

Be Glowing

By the way, I just wanted to everyone to know that while I was in retirement from blogging I had LOTS of people asking me to revive Urban Honey.  By lots I mean 5 or so.  So believe it or not, people actually find this blog entertaining.

Alright, now that that's out of the way.  Let's talk about self tanner. Very important topic.

We all know how I feel about laying out and baking in the sun.  Not good for those of us who want to stay looking young.  But the problem is- you gotta be tan.  Well, that's why God (or Neutrogena) gave us self tanner.

I was looking at my legs like a month ago and they were so white that you could like see my veins and I was like, wow I have got to do something about this.

So I marched by butt down to Walgreens and got this.

TA-DA!

No joke you guys, it seriously works.  It doesn't make you stink either.  I put it on in the morning everyday like I would my normal lotion and I am pretty tan now.  It looks super natural and it actually moisturizes too. Def recommend replacing your normal lotion with this and making it part of your daily routine.

One drawback is that it, like all self tanners, can leave weird spots around your knees/elbows/wrists so you have to make sure to rub it in really good and evenly.

Hi guys!  I am back in action! So, I had a major case of writer's block for the last 3 years or so, but I am ready to get back in the saddle.  As you can imagine, I have come up with lots of material over the last few years SO BE EXCITED.

I was thinking earlier today, hmmmmm what should my blog be about? I can't really think of one particular thing, so I am just going to wing it, as I do with most things in life.  

Anyone who knows me knows my obsession with beauty (sounds vain, I know), so the blog will probably be mostly beauty tips, product reviews and such, with some other fluff scattered here and there.
