If you're like me, you don't like having other people tell you what to do or "what's cool." However, I assure you, pickups of the week are designed to instigate pleasure for all types of people. Use at your own discretion.
Pickups of the Week, December 10th, 2008
- Men's Neutrogena "Invigorating" Face Wash. This swagger soap will surely get your day started the right way. Leaves the face smooth, clean, and scented nicely. There's some kind of agent in it that makes your face tingle/burn for 20 seconds after use. They call this invigorating... I call this, "get your ass to work!"
- Ice Skates. Last night I went skating at Rockefeller Center with a holiday party. I was a little skeptical about hitting the ice at first because of the amount of booze that was in my blood and I had my favorite work pants on, however, after a really cute girl named Nikki from Delaware called me a wussy... I decided to give it a shot. I lasted 15 minutes, no falls, and it was actually a lot of fun!
- The Phone! Pick it up! Call somebody... anybody. Researchers have concluded that social interaction between friends or family is essential for a healthy lifestyle. I always call my mom on her day off during the week and it's always music to my ears and it reminds me where I come from. Girls, you might not have a problem with this because phones are attached to your ears, but guys... I'm only asking for 5 minutes!
- Fleet Foxes. This 5 piece band from Seattle is starting to make some waves in some very calm waters. Melodic and breezy, the Fleet Foxes will give you hope and assure you that there's still talented musicians out there. They describe their songs as, ""baroque harmonic pop jams." Listen and enjoy.
- Salmon. I know, we are reminded every day how good salmon is for you. The Omega 3 fatty acids and all that jazz. However, salmon is one of the best things you can put in your body, as the fatty acids from this pink fish elevate brain function, help clear out your bloodstream of toxins, reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, assist in the formation of new DNA, and has been known to reduce depression. Try this: a little salt and pepper on both sides, lemon juice, white wine, and butter... throw her in the oven for about 10 minutes or so (depending on how you like your fish cooked and your done. Serve with some sauteed escarole and pour the sauce over everything... you'll be swimming upstream for days! If you hate fish... get the Omega 3 pills.
- Flameless Candles. Holidays are coming around and this would be a great gift for anyone (guys, it's ok to have candles in your room... the ladies will be impressed that you have a softer side). These candles have a little switch that when you turn on, mimics the flame of a real candle. They are battery-powered and reasonably priced. Some even come scented! Wooooooohoooo! Turn these on at night and never worry about burning to death!
Don't worry, the week's almost over. Be good.
