Superbowl Commercials

Have you heard that over half of the companies that purchase air time for their super bowl commercials have already released their commercials online, or have at least shared a clip of what's to come? It makes me think of Black Friday in the sense that every year, stores have opened earlier and earlier. It's gotten to the point where it might as well just be called Black Thursday. Eventually I see most companies doing this "early realease" to maximize commercial viewings. At least I get to
be at home for this particular early release. If I was paying 4 million dollars for every 30-seconds of commercial time, I too would probably be trying to get the most out of my money. Look below for a sneak peak at some of the 2015 Super Bowl commercials we'll be seeing this year.

Carrie Underwood Bump-update


Carries belly is now big enough to use as a table, how adorable! She's just the cutest. Soon to be mom to her first child is expected to give birth in about a month in a half. 

Here's some other looks Carrie has rocked since being pregnant...






I love Carrie's looks most of the time but while she's been pregnant, I feel like her stylist is always drowning her in material and empire waist dresses, minus the exception of a few looks. But no matter what she's always gorgeous!

Tim McGraws Paleo Diet & Crossfit Routine

Tim McGraws workout routine looks like:
Morning: Cardio
Afternoon: Crossfit or more cardio
Evening: Weight or plyometric training 

He follows special designed routines including: 
Hindu Pushups: 3 Sets, 25 Reps, Do a set of each
Hindu Squats: 3 Sets, 25 Reps
Bicycle Crunches: 3 Sets, 25 Reps
Sprinter Splint Squats: 3 Sets, 10-15 leg


The "McGraw" Diet from 

The Tim McGraw diet is mostly about a Paleo approach to food. This means you focus on what a “Cave Man” would eat. The most important thing is that 10,000 years ago, there was no access to grain. So, you can’t eat bread, flour, or just about any other grain.
Still, the Tim McGraw diet is not strictly Paleo. Instead, he incorporates some grains into his diet. It’s important to make sure these grains are gluten-free if you do so. Tim McGraw eats spelt four pancakes and often starts the morning with organic oats (groats) with a sliced banana, raisins and maple syrup.
The Tim McGraw diet includes a low-carb approach where one focuses on fruits and vegetables, for carbs. You can eat meat, but it should come from animals that were grass fed (very hard to find unless you’re at a specialty store). More importantly, Tim McGraw had to give up drinking to get the six pack he wanted, and deserved.
During the entire Men’s Health interview, Tim McGraw way “eyeing” the Kale salad they had prepared for him. Although he had to sit down and talk with a reporter, he was focused on lunch time. As he was doing hammers and kettlebell swings for the photo shoot, he kept asking ‘how much longer until I get my Kale salad?’



Bradley Cooper Prepares for "American Sniper" Role


"Bradley Cooper gained 40 pounds of muscle to play a Navy SEAL in "American Sniper" by following an 8,000-calorie-a-day Paleo-style diet. The naturally lanky Cooper had to eat every 55 minutes to maintain his high-calorie diet. Other celebrity Paleo fans include Tim McGraw, who lost 40 pounds with the low carb paleo diet and CrossFit workouts. A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates the Paleo diet is twice as effective as other diets for promoting weight loss and reducing belly fat.
“Clinical trials have shown the Paleo diet is the optimum diet that can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, markers of inflammation, help with weight loss, reduce acne, promote optimum health and athletic performance,” said professor Loren Cordain." (examiner.com). 


Take Relationship Advice From Your Elders


"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, what is it that makes a marriage last (and last)? To answer this age-old question, family sociologist Karl Pillemer, PhD, launched the largest in-depth survey of long-married couples ever conducted, interviewing 700 people who had been hitched an average of 43 years. Their sage advice is collected in his new book, 30 Lessons for Loving ($26, amazon.com)."-ABC News

Awe great advice from couples who have been through it all! 

Navy Seal Chris Kyle: Most American's Don't Understand War



Here's a video I found online of Chris Kyle talking about his book and the reasons behind why he published the book "American Sniper". Kyle comes off as a humble down to earth man. He loved God, he loved his country, and he loved his family. Most importantly, he loved to protect his brothers on the battlefront. The one thing Kyle missed most about being active duty was the brotherhood. That close bond of knowing that the man next to you is not only family, but he has your back and you have his. Kyle wanted to raise awareness to combat and the truth behind what soldiers really go through. 
 "I don't care if you've served one year or thirty-five years, you've served your country and you did an honorable job whether you were at piece or at war, you put it out there and you were willing to sign that blank check up to and including your life"-Kyle. Show them thank you in more ways that are helpful than saying "thank you". Show them you're thankful by going out of your way to do something in return for them. Offer to babysit, mow their lawn, etc. Acts of kindness are how we need to start thanking those who serve and protect our country. 

Everyday our soilders are overseas fighting for our freedom. Lets ensure they have the best gear, the best equipment, biggest support, care packages and whatever else they need to see another day, and to return home from another deployment. And lets not forget about our veterans and soldiers who are state side and recovering from past deployments.

American Hero, American Sniper



American Sniper, 5 stars!!!

Grossing over 90 million in its opening weekend, American Sniper was inspired by Chris Kyle's bestselling autobiography. Featuring actors Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, the film is directed by Clint Eastwood. 

Follow the link below to read Kyle's wife, Taya Kyle, talk about her emotional journey that led up to her taking over and ensuring "American Sniper" would portray the most accurate husband, father, and American hero. 


Cop Caught Singing "Shake It Off"


In light of all the horrible news being shed on cops and cop brutality, lets remember that cops are people too. This guy is hilarious! 

We Loved The Fake Act


Wanted to believe Maroon 5's new hit "Sugar" was real wedding crashing at its finest? We wish! But the staged weddings were enough to make us believe Maroon 5 may be crashing your wedding next. America's Next Top Model, Raina Hein, was recognized by fans immediately. The asian parents in one seen even released a FB statement admitting to the staged weddings for the filming of "Sugar". Who cares though. Maroon 5 can show up at my party any day!


Monogrammed Is Still In

Although we don't see monogrammed items walking down the NYC runway, monogrammed items are still very in. Here's some monogrammed essentials I don't want to live without. I love the fleece monogrammed vest that is great to layer over long sleeve shirts. Top of your look with a monogrammed necklace and a Pashmina Monogrammed Scarf . Don't care for monograms? Take away the monograms and this is still a great winter look!



Can We Talk About This Couple...

So Robert Pattinson's new love FKA Twig is seen here. What's the scoop on her? Who's this chick?
The meaning behind her name Twig was given to her because of the way her joints pop and crack (how odd) and FKA stands for "formerly known as" because when she was going by Twig, she was forced to change her stage name, which led to the creation of FKA Twig...original lol.


FKA Twig is sparking the fashion world as her 6 page spread will appear in January issues of Vogue this month. She's known for her unique style and eccentric music videos. Watch below to hear FKA Twig's break out song.

The Wedding Ringer 5/5


The hubby and I went to see this movie this weekend. It ended up being even funnier than I thought it would. We love Kevin Hart so we were hoping it would live up to our expectations and it sure did! Definitely be cautious if bringing children though, lots of adult content and humor.

Wow...why spend you're new year in the gym when you can work your magic in Photoshop? Lol

8 weird food cures that will have you saying, "what the heck"?


-Prevent PMS with bork and beans. Eating a 3-ounce serving will keep the cramps away.

-Eat asparagus, prevent a hangover. The veggies contain enzymes that will help break down alcohol.

-Drink lemonade to cure kidney stones. Lemon juice has the highest citrus levels of any juice and   citrate helps dissolve any calcium deposits that will eventually turn into kidney stones.

-Drink coffee, prevent depression. Caffeine may protect the brain against neurotoxins that can cause depression.

-Eat yogurt and ward off colds. Studies show 43% of people who ate a cup of yogurt a day were less likely to develop colds. did you know excessive amounts of sugar, antibiotics, and stress can kill of the good bacteria in your stomach and make your more susceptible to colds? Me neither. Bye doughnuts :(

-Red grapes, red blueberries, and red wine are said to prevent weight gain. The compound "piceatannol" prevents and delays fat cells from maturing.

-Eat pomegranates to prevent sunburns. Rich in ellagic acid, they can help protect your skin from UVA and UVB induced cell damage.

-Got migraines? Eat more beef liver. Migraines are a sign of liver deficency, and beef liver is full of sources of B vitamin riboflavin.

Cameron Diaz Married???

Okay c'mon. Out of all the guys Cameron's dated, I never saw Benji Madden being her type, let alone the guy she'd end up getting married too. Cameron, 42, wed Good Charlotte's Benji Madden, 35, at Diaz's Beverly Hills home this past weekend. We all know Diaz's past history of ex-boyfriends is about as long as her professional resume. Never saw this one coming, but we wish her the best of luck and hope she's found real love after all. She deserves it! Congrats Cameron and Benji.

Lynne's Resolution


And so it is, another year has begun.  Hello 2015 and another 365 days to journey around the sun.  I made no resolutions of being skinny by May or to drink less coffee and more water, instead I'm going to live in the moment and try to enjoy everything I do.  All I have is this moment, so resolutions about my future is just a big waster of time.  I'd actually rather do or start something, instead of talking about doing it in the future.  With a compass in one hand and a clock in the other hand, I have both direction and motivation - I'll see where it leads.  Wishing you a year ahead that is filled with health, wealth and happiness, many surprises, and many lasting memories that you will cherish in all the days ahead.
