New Smoking Alternative Worth Trying

I'm proud to admit that I was never one of those people who thought smoking was cool growing up, therefore I never smoked, but enough of my friends have and still do. Cigarettes cause more than one in five deaths and over 50,000 people die from second hand smoke in the U.S. alone. Let that marinate a minute. To this day, it still shocks me that people are still smoking.  I know quitting is much harder to do than it sounds, but I had to introduce you to a new smoking alternative, the SmokeStik, an electronic cigarette.  After Michael Douglas' battle with throat cancer, his wife, Catherine Zeta Jones, began quitting smoking with the SmokeStik as her alternative.  It's shocking to me that it takes a scare to get people to want to quit.

The SmokeStik acts like a cigarette, but instead of smoking tobacco and tar, you're smoking a mist of liquid glycerine, proplyene glycol and food grade flavorings that are vaporized and FDA approved.

Golden Globes 2011 Hits and Misses

So immediately after the Jets beat the Patriots I tuned into the Golden Globes red carpet to check out who got it right and who was about to be humiliated by the press until they had a chance to redeem themselves at the Oscars. Here's my list of hits and misses from the 2011 Golden Globes: Anne Hathaway's body blew me away.  It wasn't just that I thought she was one of the best dressed on the carpet in her beaded blush colored Armani Prive gown, but the fact that she absolutely couldn't have pulled it off if she wasn't in tip top shape.  Not many people can, not even in Hollywood.

Starlettes such as Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Moss and Catherine Zeta Jones all donned green gowns.  I'm assuming it's because they're all NY Jet's fans and absolutely hate the New England Patriots as much as I do so despite the fact that they couldn't watch the game due to prior commitments, they wanted to show their support.  Whether it was that or just a huge trend, it's a big hit on my list.

Two horrific misses?  One, January Jones looked hot yes, but completely inappropriate for the Globes.  Yes, she may have a very toned, shapely body to show off, but cut outs around her breasts at the Globes?  Not OK in my book.  And I can't even begin to rant about Jennifer Love Hewitt.  The poor girl was lost again.  Does she even have a stylist?  If not, she should get one... quick.  And if she does, it's time to cut ties. She looked like a lost bride.
