Smexy’s Top Ten – January 2nd

January 2, 2015 by Mandi 6 Comments

NYE10. New year, same ol’ Top Ten – hot guys with beards, hot guys in sweatpants, play doh peens. Some things will never change.

 

burned9. This is a recent picture Karen Marie Moning posted on her Facebook Page. What does it mean? 10 books? Another added to Barrons’ 9 guys (it’s 9 right? or 8?) 18 days until Burned. I want. (even though I’m worried about Mac now being the narrator again) (but who am I kidding? It’s KMM.)

 

 

jar8. I’m not one for making New Year Resolutions because I never stick with them. How many times can I vow to live by a budget?? HOW MANY? *weeps* But I saw this on Buzzfeed and it made me smile. Instead of Resolutions, we can do Rememberlutions. They decorated a jar and once you accomplish something, no matter how big or how little, you write it on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of 2015, you can pull out all of your accomplishements and feel good about yourself!  As I sit here, I’m more concerned about epically decorating my jar than what I’ll put in it.

 

lumbersexual7. Do you want to date a lumberjack? Or just a man with a beard and/or tattoo? I have your answer – Lumber Match. Someone single sign up and let us know the riches you find. (thank you Dani)

play doh6. Looks innocent, yes? All the little girls and boys so excited to get the Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Play Doh set.

But then….they see this…

penisplaydoh11

RUN! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN! It’s a Penis play-doh mold! A penis dildo! Your babies innocence will be gone forever.

I’m slightly devastated my kids have outgrown play-doh. Oh the fun I would have!! Link.

 

5. Forget best of book lists. Here is Out Magazine’s 54 hottest beards of all time. We have 2014 beards, 1970 beards – it’s all good because BEARDS.

 

4. So Jamie Fraser is challenging us all do reach our peak. He wants to help us all reach our peak everyone. Does anyone object to this?

In reality he wants us all to climb a mountain or something. Search for the hashtag #MyPeakChallenge or go through his timeline.

Either way – I think watching him do this about 5,000 times a day will help me reach my peak. (see more here)

3. I don’t really post anything on Instagram but I’m becoming addicted to stalking people on Instagram. Stalking in the non-creepy way *innocent face* Glamour Magazine has the 12 male model Instagrams you should follow this year to keep you warm. Because we are all cold and chilly. I think by following these Instagrams and watching Jamie lift weights – we should be able to get through the winter. Keep squatting Jamie. Keeeeeep squatting.

2. I’ve decided in 2015 I’m going to challenge myself each month with something new. For example, January I’m not drinking. February I’m cutting out chips and pickles (I eat an obscene amount of baked ruffle lays and famous dave pickles every day for lunch.) March I think I’ll a sit-up/push-up routine every day. But that’s all I can think of. What else can I do? I think I’m going to try to volunteer consistently one month but I need to research that.

What else??

My fuzzy butt could not be any happier to see you

1. Your daily cute. Link.

Happy 2015! I hope everyone had a fun NYE and is ready to get this year started!

    I enjoy your weekly lists, and this one is especially great. (Beard!)

    Gotta love the Rememberlutions concept. My selective memory tends to fasten on to the very worst, which is bad for a lot of reasons.

    Time Magazine also had several tips for change that I thought were pretty good:

    “5. Resolutions often fall into the all-or-nothing category. Therefore, rates of failure increase if you attempt an outright ban on gravy.

    “13. Pick a skill rather than a size. One of my favorite yearly goals came when I vowed to stand up on a surfboard (on a wave). Picking something you physically can’t do right now (run a certain distance, climb a small mountain) requires you to break down the steps that will help you get there—physically, nutritionally, mentally. The declaration of a goal isn’t what gets you to the goal; process is what gets you to the goal.

    “17. Set a date on the calendar, not a number on the scale. Find something—an event, a vacation—that means something to you. That’s where you’re headed. That’s why you’re running or swimming or getting your butt whooped by a boot-camp instructor. That’s why you reach for radishes when you need something to crunch.”

    And “The best resolutions are also ones that you can share with other people. Recruit a couple of friends to join you (live or digitally). Report your progress, kick each other’s butts, high-five successes, hold regular meetings to discuss ups and downs. Do not bring cupcakes to those meetings.”

    Regarding the Play-Doh penis device, honestly, there are only so many non pointy syringe shapes possible. Have you seen the replacement item? It looks like a butt plug.

    A month where your readers pick the books you read, no matter how crazy the book sounds.
