Song of the Day: Livvi Franc - Automatik

Obsession of the Day: American Apparel Nail Lacquer


How frakin hot are these colors? I love American Apparel and I love nail polish. Win-win!
This is the first series of nail lacquers by AA and it is a tremendous collection. There are 18 colors total (that's a lot ;)) and they have some great names like Dynasty, Pinto, and Passport Blue. Just beware of old bottles, there was a recall right after these came out because the glass broke super easily. So if you are gonna buy some I suggest going into an actual store where they are selling them in the new, SAFE, bottles. Or if you click the image above it takes you to AA's site for a more in depth look at each color and you can order them there. As for wear, they have a kind of weird consistency. If you use high end brands like OPI, you'll find the formulas kinda runny and in need of 3 coats (it depends on the color since they are all a bit different). But these aren't drug store 99 cent stuff either.
The colors alone make this collection a must have for polish addicts.

Obsession of the Day: Discovery Channel's presentation of "Life"


I absolutely loved Discovery's presentation of BBC's "Planet Earth" last year, so of course I'm very pumped to see their presentation of BBC's "LIFE". Its another beautiful HD Nature docu-series focused more towards evolution and the existence of life. It was produced by Michael Gunton for BBC and premiered in the UK back in Oct 2009. Capitalizing on the success of "Planet Earth", Discovery is now bringing BBC's latest documentary series installment stateside and I couldn't be happier. Well, that's not completely true... I really am more excited for the "real" sequel to "Planet Earth" (which was produced by Alastair Fothergill) that will debut in 2011 called "The Frozen Planet" (also by Fothergill). But it is nice to see that BBC documentary series can be successful on this side of the pond, let's hope they keep 'em coming. "LIFE" premieres tonight at 8 on Discovery, Animal Planet, Planet Green, and TLC.

Song of the Day: Space Cowboy ft. Cinema Bizarre - I Came To Party

Obsession of the Day: Modern Amusement


Found this brand at some rando store today. A lot of really cool pieces, but overpriced for what they were. $200 sunglasses, $100 tops, American Apparel quality. Click the logo above for some of there most recent lookbook, I don't love the clothes shown, but what I saw shopping today (most likely an older collection) was really cute. The website is poor and there aren't a lot of online vendors. If you find some on sale or clearance check em out, and if you find some in SoCal, let me know, I'm always lookin for a bargain.

Obsession of the Day: Siggi's Yogurt





Siggi's is this seriously BOMB yogurt I found at the nearby Sprouts market. It's an Icelandic Skyr, which is similar to Greek yogurt but even thicker.
Whats great about Siggi's is it's fat free, SUPER high in Protein, sweetened with Agave instead of Sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup, and the cows are grass fed and reside in New York; so they're American and they are eating what cows were meant to eat, which means what they produce is way better for ME to eat :) and I LOVE to eat :D. Also the packaging is super nifty, it breaks down and is completely recyclable. The label is cardboard that just rips off. All in all, these are my new guilty pleasure, so yummy.
Just a heads up, if you try these and they still aren't sweet enough for ya, just add some local honey on top and enjoy your nosh.

Hello, new blog.

Hey kiddies. I've decided I wasn't really happy with the way I was running my old blog, so I've chosen to start fresh with a new one. This blog is still called See.Hear.Speak, because it will still be about the things I see and hear, and what opinions I have about them. I'll try and blog daily, kind of an obsession of the day type deal. If you are looking for oldschool See.Hear.Speak content, I've simply moved it to a new url. Click the link above to connect. I hope you enjoy the new content, and I hope you leave lots of comments if you have any opinions about my opinions. Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
