TGIF: 10 Things We Loved This Week

Friday, September 5, 2014 /

Okay, We’ll admit...we liked A LOT about this week, early morning alarms and Joan Rivers’ death (RIP WE LOVE YOU) most definitely not included. Yet, somehow, we narrowed it down to 10, just in time for the weekend...ahh, those words never sounded so good. 


1. Happy 33rd Birthday Beyonce!
 The Queen celebrated her 33rd birthday Thursday and every girl in the world said a special prayer to be that kind of *flawless* at 33. We all know it’s not likely, but a girl can dream, right?!? From the Rebel Redefined team, Happy Birthday Bey!
2. Like OMG, The truth behind the #PSL was exposed...and every white girl instantly left the Starbucks line.
This week, an article by Food Babe began circulating that exposed what is really in the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. This was shocking news for the die hard fans who swear by the seasonal drink. ICYMI, there is NO pumpkin in the pumpkin spice latte, people. Along with that horrific news, the drink also contains harmful ingredients like Monsanto Milk, Class IV Caramel Color, and more sugar than you’d ever imagine. Starbucks, shame on you. You are shady and are the Mcdonalds of coffee. Thanks to Free People, there is a easy and healthy alternative so you can still enjoy your  yummy PSL.


    3.  Emma Stone and Beyonce reveal their short new do’s, and we drool.
Lately, you can’t go anywhere without seeing a girl with a super cute bob. Of course, Emma Stone and Beyonce not only got their own version of this cut, but they’re completely rocking them out. Now, pause, and go call your hairdresser. Yep, we. just. read. your. mind.




4.WhoWhatWear opened our eyes to a special gift from the gods– raw denim.
We all know that the struggle is real when it comes to finding that perfectly fitting pair of jeans. and i mean, REAL. like “trying on 50 pairs and crying in a dressing room while convincing yourself that jeans just aren’t necessary anyway” real. Just when we were about to give up and swear by the magic of soft pants, WhoWhatWear gave us raw denim. The trick to raw denim is to soak them in warm water, hang them up to dry, put them on while they are slightly damp and BOOM, let them form to your body.

5. Three words: Ellen Degeneres, Instagram, Anaconda. Need we say more?
Our favorite funny gal, Ellen, posted a picture on her Instagram Thursday paying a LARGE tribute to Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda video. We love you, Ellen, and we kinda hope you re-create the entire video. 






6. Sam Smith Covered Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car”
BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge has been known to bring in some great artists, doing some great covers, (may we remind you of that Banks-covering-an-Aaliyah-song perfection from the spring?) and this “Fast Car” rendition is no exception. Check out the video and try to think of one song that Sam Smith wouldn’t sound good covering. Stumped? Same. ~*LoVe HiM*~



7. It’s A Girl! Scarlett Johansson Had Her First Baby!
Rose Dorothy was born in New York on Saturday and ScarJo is now a mother for the first time! Congrats to you and your dreamy french journalist fiancé.















8. In A Totally James Franco Move, He Went Bald And Documented It In Selfies.
In case you don’t follow James Franco on Instagram, we highly suggest it. The hilarious actor posted pictures of his newest ‘do, which he did for a role in his new film “Zeroville”.  Our thoughts on the new hairless Franco? We kind dig it, mostly just because we kinda dig Franco...no matter what weird/crazy thing he’s up to.
9. R-Patz Has A New Boo, And We Approve.
Robert Pattinson has been spotted with a new girl, and rumors are buzzing that the two are dating. FKA Twigs, new up-and-coming UK singer and It Girl, is the special lady who caught the gorgeous actor’s eye. All we can do is breathe a sigh of relief that the K-Stew drama is over for Rob. (Does anyone else suddenly hear Ariana Grande singing Break Free?) We hope this one’s here to stay because let’s be honest...they look really, really good together.

10.  The Little Rascals Re-Created Their Iconic Movie Poster. D’Awww....
One of the most beloved movies of our childhood celebrated their 20th anniversary in this adorable way. The entire cast showed up to re-create the original photo that we all know and love. We’ll forever love the film and we’ll forever write notes like “Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts”.






What did you love this week? Tell us in the comments below and whether you decide to go bald, make your own PSL, or star in your own version of “Anaconda”– have a fabulous weekend!

XO,
