Awesomesauce | Guilty Pleasures (Music Edition)

I was recently caught in a very embarrassing position; I was that girl in the next car over belting out a song that no one admits listening to (much less shouting at the top of one’s lungs on the freeway). To be fair, I’ve been that girl for a while now, but it’s only just recently occurred to me that I really shouldn’t care whether or not I get caught.  Everyone has that playlist that they hope no one ever finds.  Here’s mine: Read More

Awesomesauce | Subscription Boxes

We all have those moments when we realize that we’ve turned into a full-fledged adult.  For most of us, it’s the first time we decide that we’d rather not drink Natty Light, or the time when we say “it was a really long week, can we just stay in tonight?” on a Friday at 6pm.  Read More

Awesomesauce | Magic for Grownups

Last week, I took a train ride that I’ve wanted to take for over 16 years… I rode the Hogwarts Express!  On a family vacation to West Palm Beach, I … Read More

Awesomesauce | Relay App

By now, our mass hysteria regarding Apple’s worst kept secret (an iWatch…duh!) is over, and we can focus on more important things; like your new favorite app!

Of course, everybody loves a good GIF (what’s funnier than watching a 10 second loop of a dog licking a glass door, or some lady falling flat on her face over and over? Answer: nothing), so I knew right after downloading it that Relay was going to be a lot of fun.  At its most basic, Relay is a GIF messenger, but the real delight of the app is in the details.

Awesomesauce- John Mayer

I’ve always been a lover of pop music, but for the longest time I was ashamed to admit it. I’ll be honest- I was afraid of judgment in the “oh, … Read More

Awesomesauce | British Food

As evidenced by my love of Doctor Who, William Shakespeare, and the entire range of BBC America programming, I’m a bit of an Anglophile (ok, beyond that…as previously mentioned, I own a Queen Elizabeth diamond jubilee mug, and I most definitely woke up early to watch the Royal Wedding a few years back.)  As just such an Anglophile, one of my least favorite things to hear is “all British food is disgusting.”  Most people think of British food as black pudding (don’t ask) or spotted dick (actually, quite delicious- it’s  basically cake, people!) and of course there are some real losers out there in the spectrum of British gastronomy. (I’m looking at you Haggis.)  However, there are also some real gems that you should seek out if you’re ever given the opportunity: these dishes may just change your mind. Read More

Awesomesauce | Reddit

Until recently, Reddit was, to me, a lot like professional soccer in the United States;  people around me didn’t seem very interested most of the time, but those that were fans, were FANS.  About 6 months ago, I decided to jump down the rabbit hole myself and see what all the Reddit fuss was about.   Read More

Awesomesauce- Mashup Tumblrs

We all know Arrested Development was:

a) ahead of its time,

b) cancelled too soon, and

c) one of the funniest shows on television.

Awesomsauce | Baby Goats

I have a confession: when I’m having a bad day, I turn turn to the internet to make me feel better.  I have several go-to strategies, depending on what’s ailing me: WhiteWhine.com is for those days when the little things in life are going wrong; hangnail, bad day at work, no Chai Lattes at Starbucks…basically any day when my complaints could show up on the website to be (righfully) mocked for the first world problems that they are.  If I need a little extra cheering up, I turn to PeopleofWalmart.com or AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, so I can feel better about the fact that my mom gave me crimped hair for my 4th grade class photo, and then moved past it (read: didn’t continue to subject me to the same choices to this very day.)  But when I’m having one of those days when even those two won’t make me smile, and when puppy videos just won’t cut it, I resort to YouTube…to baby goat videos. They can bring a smile to your face when almost nothing else can.   Read More

Awesomesauce | Avocado

As anyone who is in a long-term relationship knows, it’s not the big things that start the big fights, it’s the mundane; “Did you stop at the post office on the way home?”, “We’re out of paper towels”, “Grandma’s birthday party is on Sunday, why did you make plans with your friends?!”

Enter Avocado. Read More

Awesomesauce | Underrated TV Shows

We all have those TV shows that we know in our heart of hearts were brilliant: The Wonder Years, Freaks and Geeks, Firefly, The Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa (you know the standard list that everyone agrees on.) For the most part, we collectively determine after they’re cancelled that these shows were the greatest thing since The Wire—the TV show equivalent of the no-one-says-anything-bad-about-you-at-your-funeral effect. Why, then, didn’t we actually WATCH them while they were on the air? Here are a few of my favorite underrated TV shows on the air right now that more attention- tune in before its too late!

Awesomesauce | Blog Lovin’

When I’m not paying homage to the Bard’s 450^th birthday by reading my copy of “William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope” (yes, I’m a nerd, I believe we’ve established this in-depth), I try and catch up with some of my favorite blogs on Feedly (RIP, Google Reader – you shall be missed terribly.)

Here are some of the blogs that have been making me giggle over the last few months:

Awesomesauce- I Made A Funny!

Does anyone else love this movie besides me?  (Sidenote: apparently Michael Bay does, enough to ruin it with a reboot involving Megan Fox as April….ugh.)

Awesomesauce – Star Wars

A long time ago, in a decade far, far away …

I have a confession: our recent discussion regarding some of the coolest things about the 1980s* is incomplete. Sure, we were mostly talking about apparel, but I would be remiss if any discussion of the best stuff from the decade of Madonna and blue eye shadow didn’t include talk of the best movie trilogy of all time: the original Star Wars trilogy. (I see you, Nolan Batman Saga advocates … you are wrong.)

I may be a bit biased with this one, because I’m OBSESSED with the Olympics.  I mean, hum along to the Olympic Fanfare every time they play it on the … Read More

Awesomesauce- Early 2014 Movie Picks

Ok, so this is more of a future-Awesomesauce (is that a thing?)  I’m a huge movie fan, but they can be somewhat (ok, totally) expensive; have you SEEN the cost of movie popcorn these days?!  I have a mortgage to pay!
