Lauren Conrad and my (minor) obsession with Justin Bieber


OK, so where shall I begin - J'Biebs or LC? How 'bout I start with Justin Bieber since I've been obsessing over Lauren Conrad (my girl crush) on this blog for weeks now. (BTW, we finally edited the video! Scroll all the way down to watch).

Anywho, ever since I saw the Bieberlicious --(adj: having boyish good looks and charm)-- boy wonder perform on the Today Show last year, I have NOT been able to get the chorus to "One Less Lonely Girl" out of my head.

Help!

I think I have Bieberculosis --(noun: exhibiting hot flashes and shortness of breath at the site of Justin Bieber. Note: syndrome may also occur at the site of other hot Justins, like Timberlake).

Why is this happening to me? I am too darn old to have a crush on a Canadian teenage pop star...

... Somebody, anybody, send me a cure! (Just don't send me an athlete: Tiger Woods, Tiki Barber and Ben Roethlisberger messed it up for all of them).


On a lighter note (and I'm not talking about hair color)...

Here is our interview (finally) with the lovely and talented Lauren Conrad:

Tyra and Miss J would be so proud...

Lauren Conrad Book Signing



We had so much fun interviewing Lauren Conrad during a stop at the Borders in Fairfax, Va. on her nationwide book tour. She was warm, friendly, down-to-earth, funny and -- no huge surprise -- adamant about not talking about the drama from her past.

Specifically refusing to talk about Heidi Montag and The Hills (she said off camera that MTV asked her not to), the reality star turned New York Times best-selling author instead chose to dish to us about everything else, including her book being turned into a movie, what it was like being a guest judge on Top Model, her new clothing line and whether or not she'll expand her Kohl's collection and start designing for boys, too.

Speaking of boys...

One of her biggest fans at the event was actually a guy. LC's No. 1 "man fan" said he drove all the way from Clinton, Md. to get his copy of "Sweet Little Lies" signed. With sweaty palms and his camera phone set snap the money shot, he was actually trembling with excitement as he waited his turn in line.


We were a little excited to be there, too...


So you'll have to check back soon to see how our exclusive video interview turned out. For now, check out more photos from the book signing on our Facebook Fan Page.

P.S. - Special thanks to our production coordinator Arika Lawrence for helping us shoot video and snap pics behind the scenes!

Lauren Conrad, Ceviche, and I heart Apple



LA CANDY AND SWEET LITTLE LIES:

This Saturday M, and I will be interviewing hotty pototty Lauren Conrad The former star and fashion icon of The Hills. Ms. Conrad has been touring all over the country to promote her series of books LA Candy and Sweet Little Lies. (There are 3 books in her series) We have so much to ask Lauren and I can't wait to hear what she has been up to (besides being a #1 NY Times bestselling author, touring the country, and working on her clothing line) Geesh the girl works her butt off. And yes I am on TEAM LC nobody likes that Kristin girl, and nobody watches The Hills anymore now that Lauren has left the show. So what questions do you think we should ask her? I think I'll ask her to give me some tips on how she perfects those signature cat eyes with her black eyeliner . If you like her fresh beachy make-up watch this youtube video and give yourself a clean fresh look too.


Ok, so if seeing that pic of Lauren in her bikini made you feel a little less than stellar about your own body, don't fret-- I have the perfect recipe that is light, healthy and perfect for the summer to help you shed those pounds. I make this all the time (I'm still a heffer though because I wont give up on chocolate and baked goods j/k) So do as I say not as I do.

HOT BOD RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
Ceviche packs some serious flavor to those taste buds, you can always change up the recipe if you get bored, and it's healthy =)

Ceviche Recipe

Preparation time: 15 minutes to prepare, 3-4 hours to let sit. Always use the freshest fish possible. Make the same day you purchase fresh fish.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs of firm, fresh red snapper fillets (or other firm-fleshed fish), cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely deboned
  • 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup of chopped fresh seeded tomatoes
  • 1 serrano chili, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • Dash of ground oregano
  • Dash of Tabasco or a light pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Tortillas or tortilla chips

METHOD

In a non-reactive casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, place the fish, onion, tomatoes, chili, salt, Tabasco, and oregano. Cover with lime and lemon juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for an hour, then stir, making sure more of the fish gets exposed to the acidic lime and lemon juices. Let sit for several hours, giving time for the flavors to blend. Check out that recipe and millions of others from your I-phone. And if you don't have an I-phone then get one!! And if you are not a Mac user then become one. It's that simple =)

I-PICK APP OF THE WEEK:

This FREE APP offers thousands of recipes from hundreds of talented chefs. Use the spinner and select the dish, ingredients, and prep time. You can plan your dinner out ahead. It's Free and so very cconvenient. And remember "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away." You can't say that about a Window.
