  • What Is Clubhouse and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

    What Is Clubhouse and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

    For the last few days all I’ve seen is people talking about Clubhouse and you probably have to.

    So, I finally was like okay, what is happening here? What Is Clubhouse and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

    Apparently, Clubhouse is a new social media platform but get this – you need an invitation to join.

    It is also only available for iPhone users right now.

    Yeah, it’s like a super secret clubhouse (hence the name) that is currently by invitation only.

    I went into my app store on my iPhone and downloaded the app and was greeted with this message:

    You can reserve your username and you’ll get a text when it’s your turn to join but who knows how long that’ll be.

    If you want to be part of the cool crowd that joins first, you need to know someone that has an invite they can give you.

    “Clubhouse is a space for casual, drop-in audio conversations — with friends and other interesting people around the world,”

    “Go online anytime to chat with the people you follow, or hop in as a listener and hear what others are talking about.” 

    Once you are in, what exactly is Clubhouse?

    Once you’re inside Clubhouse, you can follow people, clubs or certain topics.

    There are rooms which you can join and chat with other likeminded people.

    The rooms have moderators and you can raise your hand to speak but it’s up the moderators if they allow you to speak.

    It sort of reminds me of Snapchat but without the visuals like the videos and filters.

    So check around and see if you have a friend that would be willing to give you an invite!

  • Move Over Cereal, ‘Breakfast Ramen’ Is The New Hot Morning Trend

    Move Over Cereal, ‘Breakfast Ramen’ Is The New Hot Morning Trend

    We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so why not also make it interesting?

    Well, move over boring bowl of cereal because Breakfast Ramen is the new hot morning trend and we are here for it!

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK94gcFzEq/

    The beauty of this is that you can make it any way you like.

    Of course, normal ramen is loaded with vegetables and meats and you can do the same here.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CIeIuQqMBUr/

    Lots of people add some sort of cooked egg like hard boiled or scrambled. Some even do fried. You pick what you like best.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1M3jflxVw/

    Then you choose a protein. I am seeing lots of bacon but you can even do sausage too. Or why not have both?

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcbNClj1fN/

    You can even add things like diced ham, sliced avocado, ya know basically anything you’d normally put on a plate for breakfast but put on top of Ramen Noodles.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKKnP4HhdR/

    Seriously, how yummy does this one look? I think those are diced peppers! YUM!

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJ4cz9MV4v/

    So, what are you waiting for? Give this breakfast ramen a try! I think I am going to go make some right now!

  • What Covid Precautions Did The Super Bowl Take?

    What Covid Precautions Did The Super Bowl Take?

    As I sit here watching The Super Bowl (ya know, for the commercials), I can’t help but wonder…

    What Covid Precautions Did The Super Bowl Take?

    I mean, as you watch, a lot of people are wearing masks like the coaches and other people near the benches.

    But then The Weeknd performed and nobody was wearing masks (except the people covered in face bandages).

    So, what exactly is happening here? Are we just goign to see a massive spike in cases after Super Bowl?

    Well, apparently there was a ton of precautions taken leading up to this big day. Here are a few of the key highlights…

    For starters, Super Bowl tickets were sold in groups of two to six people so they can sit together in “pods.”

    Jonathan Barker, the NFL’s head of live event production, said the pods weren’t placed too close to each other, and they max out at 10 people per pod.

    The stadium also went vigorous cleaning leading up to the Super Bowl.

    By kickoff, the NFL estimated, it will have gone through roughly 200,000 health screenings for individuals working at the event, including staff. 

    https://twitter.com/vbelegrinis/status/1358533984616087562

    To limit contact, the NFL partnered with Visa to offer cashless transactions with reverse ATMs and said concourses will flow in two different directions.

    Masks or other face coverings were required at the stadium. The NFL says the coverings must be worn at all times unless you’re actively eating or drinking.

    In addition, hand sanitizer stations were placed all around the stadium.

    So, honestly, it sounds like they had every precaution in place that they could.

    Let’s just hope that everyone stayed safe and went home without getting sick.

  • So, Let’s Talk About Halftime Shows That Didn’t Suck

    So, Let’s Talk About Halftime Shows That Didn’t Suck

    I think we can all agree that this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was NOT up to par with year’s past.

    With that being said, it’s made me appreciate halftime shows that didn’t suck so I totally thought I’d share them with you.

    I mean, do you remember last year’s performance with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez? Holy moly that was FIRE!

    Now, I am a huge Maroon 5 fan so I have to say, I was in LOVE with their performance back in 2019. Gimme more Adam Levine!!

    Lady Gaga’s performance was incredible back in 2017. I mean, she totally jumped off the roof and her voice is incredible.

    Prince’s performance back in 2007 has to be one of the greatest of all time. Anything he touched turned gold – or purple which is amazing!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NN3gsSf-Ys

    And if we want to go way back in time, think back to Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake – that was a crazy insane show (up until the wardrobe malfunction) but seriously, those two were amazing!

    I don’t know about you, but I totally have a new appreciation for past performances.

    What Half Time Show was your favorite?!

  • The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Performance Gave Me Total Michael Jackson Vibes

    The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Performance Gave Me Total Michael Jackson Vibes

    Did you see it? Did you watch The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Performance? I was feelin’ it for sure.

    I won’t lie, his performance, gave me total Michael Jackson vibes. Anyone else?

    First off, I like The Weeknd but I’ve never just sought out his songs, like I’ve heard them on the radio and that’s about it.

    So, to hear him sing and hold that note tonight – like DAMN. Where has he been all my life?!

    From his style, his dance moves and singing, I couldn’t help but think that it all had a total Michael Jackson vibe and I loved every minute of it.

    Apparently, others felt the same because it is all over Twitter right now…

  • T-Mobile’s Super Bowl Commercial Had Me Thinking Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Broke Up

    T-Mobile’s Super Bowl Commercial Had Me Thinking Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Broke Up

    OMG I am pretty sure I almost had a heart attack!

    If you are watching the Super Bowl right now you probably saw the T-Mobile Commercial.

    Ya know, the one with Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton?

    Well, the commercial actually made me think that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton had called it quits and I was about to riot!

    The commercial starts out with Gwen telling Adam that she is single and is looking for someone with some specific qualities but he hears something totally different because her phone keeps cutting out.

    Then it flips to Blake showing up to meet Gwen for dinner and it’s all up hill from there.

    It’s adorable and as far as I am concerned, that is how those two ended up together which is how others feel too…

    You can check out the adorable commercial below.

  • The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Trailer Was Just Released and I’m So Excited

    The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Trailer Was Just Released and I’m So Excited

    Ahhh did you see it?!

    A brand new trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, was just released during the Super Bowl and don’t worry, if you missed, I’ve got you!

    The series will be coming to Disney+ next month and we will see the team-up of Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson after the retirement of their friend Steve Rogers AKA Captain America.

    Bucky actor Sebastian Stan recent spoke with the Associated Press about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, teasing that it would be unlike anything fans have seen from these two characters before.

    “We’re getting to do things with these characters that we just never had an opportunity to [do]. I mean, we’re taking them to such different, new waters,” said Stan. “We’re having a lot of fun. We’re definitely [having fun]. There’s no way to not have fun with Anthony [Mackie].” He then teased that Bucky and Mackie’s Sam will not always get along: “Sometimes I would really love to kill him. But other than that, if one of us doesn’t manage to kill the other by the end of the show, we’re good.”

    It seriously sounds so amazing and the graphics are stunning!

    You will be able to catch this on Disney+ on March 19, 2021.

    You can watch the new trailer below.

  • Matthew McConaughey Is Flat In This Super Bowl Commercial And I Can’t Unsee It

    Matthew McConaughey Is Flat In This Super Bowl Commercial And I Can’t Unsee It

    Want to see something disturbing? Well, this is it!

    Matthew McConaughey Is Flat In This Super Commercial And I Can’t Unsee It!

    Yes, he is literally flat – people are calling him ‘Flat Matthew’ or ‘Flatthew’ ha!

    So, in this 3D Doritos commercial, Matthew Mcconaughey is talking about how lately he’s been feeling flat.

    Which is strange because he is usually so positive and uplifting in his speeches.

    He goes on about his day just being flat and having a hard time staying grounded so to speak.

    Then he comes across this vending machine filled with 3D Doritos and slips inside (since he is flat and all).

    He takes a bite of a 3D Dorito and BAM he is 3D again – or ya know, he gained 200 lbs from eating them ha!

    You have to check out the commercial because it’s strange, weird and funny!
