July 25

Alright, let's go--

Music Pop Update:

Katy Perry:

• Have you heard Katy Perry's new song, Rise, which is also an official Olympics video

5 Seconds of Summer:

• Have you seen the new Ghostbusters yet?  Here's a song from the soundtrack, Girls Talk Boys

Videos to watch Update:

• Michelle Obama (first lady) was the latest Carpool Karaoke guest.  Say what you will about Obama as a president, but love that they are so down to Earth.

Make Ups/Break Ups/Hook Ups/Babies Update:

• Lady Gaga (singer) has split from fiance Taylor Kinney (actor)
• Pippa Middleton (Princess Kate's sister) is engaged to James Matthew (financier) apparently it was a quick engagement.  His financier-ing must be great..check out her ring

• Miranda Kerr (model) is engaged to the founder of Snapchat Evan Spiegel
• Liv Tyler (actress) had a baby girl, Lula Rose

• Selena/Justin watch...still off?  Selena turned 24 last week, but no big news to report.

Style Update 

• Apparently millennials are not into padded push up bras from Victoria's Secret, bralettes are the fashion (and sometimes ditching the bra altogether!)  Natural silhouettes are in.

Shows to Binge Watch

• The Great Food Truck Race, on The Food Network is a fun reality show following food truck across country as they compete to make the most money.

Random Updates

• .I knew it would come back into play.  The Taylor/Kimye feud.  Someone changed Taylor's wikipedia page, kinda funny

Trader Joe's Update

(Random, yes!  Needed, yes!  Since we have a new TJ that opened, I'll share my favorites)

• I love the 3 Layer Hummus, as the name states, it has three layers:  traditional, cilantro hummus, and spicy.  Be careful of putting it in a tupperware and bringing it to work, some people may think it's spoiled and throw it away. :(

         Until Next Time--help keep us hip, add more pop updates in the comments!

July 18th

Alright, let's go--

Music Pop Update:

Britney Spears:

• I know...could we be more excited that Britney may be having a new song?   Private Show is being teased!  Her outfit is a bit risque, but wow she looks good!

Ingrid Michaelson:

• I love Ingrid Michaelson, she's a bit more indy than pop, but heard her new song today:  Hell No.  The video is WEIRD..it's like every snapchat filter combined (and I don't really get snapchat, so I can't even be certain that's what it is...can someone please confirm?)  But I do love her song The Way I Am (circa 2007)

Videos to watch Update:

• Sneak Word was really fun on Jimmy Fallon (thanks Chalupa)

Make Ups/Break Ups/Hook Ups/Babies Update:

• Rumors are swirling that Natalie Morales (TV anchor) is leaving the Today show for Access Hollywood because of an affair with Matt Lauer (TV anchor) ending.  This is not the first time affair rumors have surfaced.  
• Ozzy Osborne (singer) and his wife Sharon "have fallen in love again"
• I don't quite get this story, but I imagine it will be important...Taylor Swift penned the song that Calvin Harris wrote (and Rhianna sang--last pop update), and Taylor's peeps have said Calvin should be glad that she's allowing him to still perform it.  Now there's some twitter feud.  She's also in a feud with Kimye...watch this video to get caught up.  What's the common denominator...hate to say it, but it's T-Swift!
• Joshua Jackson (actor) is splitting from long time love Diane Kreuger (actress)
• Selena/Justin watch...still off?  The Biebs has been busy playing Pokemon Go, maybe no time for Selena?

Style Update 

• If you haven't heard yet, stripes are in.  Very French, oui!  And this $12 dress from OLD NAVY (yes, Old Navy) has over 600 5 star reviews.

Shows to Binge Watch

• Netflix just released Stranger Things, only 8 episodes, so easy to binge.  It's about a boy who gets abducted by some sci-fi monster thing.  A bit hokey at times, but entertaining.

Random Updates

• Jennifer Aniston has a post going viral that starts with "I am not pregnant, what I am is fed up"  She blasts tabloids for scrutinizing women.  Read it here
• Celebrity quiz, because you want to know which celebrity couple you and your S.O. are...I came up as Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: two peas in a pod -- just like you and your SO! You may come from different backgrounds but your similar dispositions make you perfect for each other
• As mentioned, I should've posted last week when I read a post on Pokemon Go and we could've been first.  Think Geocaching for kids (and adults).  I've heard it was meant to get people out and about (and make Nintendo mass amounts of $)  Here is a 5 minute tutorial, if you're interested. Even the Biebs has been playing.

• The hubs loves salty chips and these pass his test:
