Remembering Britney, as Baby Tries Rehab, One More Time...

I am not now nor have I ever been much of a fan or the former Mousketeer. While you will find some of her songs on my iTunes, that's only because I happened to have a lot of the Now CD compilations. No matter what your like or dislike for Britney, however, it is terribly sad to have to witness the unraveling of a fellow human being in front of everyone's eyes. In tribute, this Friday's VicPick video is of Britney circa 1999, on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, when Brit was about 17. Its hard to believe she was ever that young and innocent--but not that much. Rosie even remarks at one point, "You're a levelheaded young girl and I hope you stay that way and I think you will." At this point, it seems that the most anyone can hope for is for her to get the help she needs and clean herself up so that she can take care of her babies.

The Friday VicPick video: oooooo, iPhone...

As I mentioned here a few weeks ago, Apple has debuted a new iPod, that boasts of all the features you can find in a cellular phone and mp3 player, in one fancy-ass phone. In honor of that, SNL had the following skit in the same week. Enjoy!

VicPick: Vo5 Silky Experiences Shampoo

I have always really liked Vo5 Shampoos and Conditioners as they are easy to find (they're sold just about everywhere), they come in a variety of different formulas and scents, and they are CHEAP! Now, once again, don't let the misnomer of thinking that because something is cheap, it must not be a good product, cloud your thinking. I have always taken very good care of my hair and have often received compliments on it. I have tried most of the Vo5 formulas-- from the 5 Vitamin Formulas, to the Moisture Milks (I am a big fan of the "Creamy Fresh Peaches" scent), to the very soothing scentedTea Therapy line. While I discovered my latest find this summer, it is not on their website for some reason, but I HIGHLY recommend their new Silky Experiences line, particularly in the scent "Champagne Kiss." This intoxicating scent has a subtle strawberry tone to it, and makes your hair touchably soft afterwards, with just the right amount of the scent lingering for most of the day. This line boasts of its added silk proteins, and is well worth the 78 cents you can purchase it for!

VicPick: Reese's Peanut Butter Trees

We haven't had a VicPick in quite awhile, so I thought I would point out in similar fashion to one of the first I selected back in October, Reese's has their holiday Peanut Butter Trees out! While I usually enjoy these in the convenient 6-pack tray, I found a bargain at my local Rite-Aid, where if you bought the individually packaged ones, you could get 3 for 99¢! So rather than get the 6 in the tray for $2.50, I was able to get 6 for only two bucks! A great stocking stuffer, refer to my previous post on the pumpkins as to why I believe the holiday inspired treats to be more tasty, and satisfying, than the traditional cups.
