Whether you like to procrastinate (like my husband) or you genuinely lost track of time, no judgments here. I have some fantastic last minute gift ideas for my fellow locals in love.

SAME DAY ROSES OR LINGERIE DELIVERED

Amazon stopped overnight delivery days ago...So now what? Meet your new BFF, SHIPT! Shipt is a local delivery service that is also a personal assistant all in one app. You can use Shipt for one delivery at a time or purchase an annual membership. The service is genius. Log onto Shipt.com or download the Shipt app. Create an account. Next, choose the location you want to shop online. If you are looking for same day delivery of flowers on a budget, I suggest clicking on TARGET. Yes, I said Target. No joke. Just go with it. Target recently started carrying fresh flowers. The roses are good quality red and lush bouquets by the dozen for $19.99 and wrapped up pretty with a bow. You can add a vase, Godiva truffles and a scented candle. Don't forget to text your Shipt shopper "this is a gift" and remind them that they need to remove all the labels and add on a heart themed shopping bag for delivery. Target has numerous options for same day delivery so the whole store is your oyster. You can even deliver same day lingerie. Yes, Target has some upscale lace options depending on your style or needs. Just search the same day delivery options. Anyone would be thrilled to receive a personalized delivery and no one needs to know it's from Target. I won't tell, if you don't.

**TARGET.COM DELIVERED SAME DAY WITH SHIPT.COM**

SAME DAY CHOCOLATES DELIVERED

Just like Santa goes with Christmas, Easter has the bunny, Valentine's Day is synonymous with chocolate. No need to fight tradition. My favorite overnight or same day delivery of quality chocolate is from EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS. Yes, they can be delivered the same day or you can schedule a pick up at the closest location. Just log onto www.ediblearrangements.com. Plug in your zip code so you can order from the location closest to you. I personally love their dark chocolate covered strawberries by the dozen but they have all kinds of chocolate / fruit variations and other desserts to choose from too. The Mt. Kisco location has never let me down. Always fresh, sophisticated presentations and delivered on time. A dozen chocolate covered berries starts at around $45.00 dollars and that includes delivery. Win, win.

SAME DAY SPA PACKAGE

ZEEL.COM FOR SAME DAY MASSAGE GIFT CARDS

We all have a loved one that deserves to be pampered. Luckily, you have a few options in the Yorktown, Cortland, Croton, Somers, Katonah, Chappaqua areas. ZEEL.com is an amazing app that offers on demand, in-home massages. Zeel's therapists are local professionals who are trained to bring the spa experience to your front door.

If you would prefer to gift a spa package in an actual brick and mortar spa, I suggest the ANGELFACE day spa in Yorktown Heights. Angelface is a full service day spa that hits all the marks. Calm, warm, cozy, inviting atmosphere with professional therapists that offer everything for the perfect spa day experience from massages, facials to manicure and pedicures.

For the Tech Savvy Mom

APPLE GIFT CARD

A recent survey says, 9 out of 10 Mom's are super tech savvy or have the aptitude for learning how to use the latest devices.

Ok, I just made up that statistic but it sounds good for those of you who need the stats to be convinced that upgraded tech gear for Mom is a brilliant gift idea.

Apple gift cards can be instant and broken down into any denomination. The thought here is very REAL. I'm sure your Mom could use an upgrade from Zooming off of her iPhone 5. How about replacing the 2012 laptop with Apple's latest iPAD or smart watch? Update her old headset for wireless AirPods? Apple gift cards can be used for anything and everything under the brand umbrella including Apps, Arcade and Music. Mom has no excuses. Apple recently reinstated their "in person" tutorials so she can spend hours learning how to navigate on any of Apple's latest gear. No time like the present!

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT BODY PART BEYONCE, KIM AND OTHER CELEBS ARE OBSESSED WITH THIS SEASON ON THE RED CARPET?

August 09, 2016

WHO HAS THE HOTTEST WENIS IN HOLLYWOOD?

About half the population in the world, has a penis...

But, did you know, everyone has a wenis? Two, in fact!

This season on the red carpet, celebrities have become obsessed with their wenis'! Just ask any red carpet starlet, since they all seem to showcase their wenis any chance they get!

If you are wondering, "What the heck is a wenis?" You're not alone. One out of two folks are clueless...

A wenis is similar to a penis, in that people can compare the different sizes and shapes of their wenis'.

A wenis is a real part of the body, we all have it! It's that sometimes unsightly rough, droopy, chappy, discolored layers of loose skin that encases your elbows.

It should be noted that wenis has no official definition or spelling, but there has been a petition to make "wenis" an official word in the Dictionary.

Ever since Beyonce, K-Dash and T-Swift have been flaunting their buffed, bleached and polished wenis' in Hollywood, the latest global trend on the red carpet is the perfect wenis!

This season, even more than hair or makeup, the wenis is the most fashionable body part celebs are showcasing on the carpet!

While most of us non-celebs may not even think about caring for our wenis', those famous starlets are doing whatever it takes to whip their wenis' into shape!

If you wanna A-list wenis, it will cost ya...

From a personal trainer, bleaching, exfoliation, paraffin treatments to those more serious cases of wenis reduction, it takes a village to keep your wenis looking tight, vibrant and healthy!

That's why THE WANNA has curated a list of celebs with some of the best wenis' in the biz!

Beyonce has one fresh looking wenis!

Which Kardashian do you think has the sexiest wenis?

Kim?

Kourtney?

Kendall?

Kylie?

Taylor Swift knows how to show off her pretty wenis!

Even famous men like to rock their wenis, including Zac Efron!

Of course you know Reality TV stylist to the stars, Mr. Brad Goreski!

BOWIE'S BLOOD AND DIEHARD FANS DISAPPOINTED BY GAGA'S FAILED GRAMMY TRIBUTE...

February 16, 2016Gina Giordan

BOWIE'S BLOOD AND DIEHARD FANS DISAPPOINTED BY GAGA'S FAILED GRAMMY TRIBUTE...

By @Lancesirlot

See the innovative collaboration from music's biggest night. Subscribe NOW to GRAMMYs on YouTube: http://grm.my/1dTBF8H About GRAMMYs: The recording industry's most prestigious award, the GRAMMY, is presented annually by The Recording Academy. A GRAMMY is awarded by The Recording Academy's voting membership to honor excellence in the recording arts and sciences.

Let's get this straight, we are fans of Lady Gaga.

There is no debating that she is an incredibly talented musician and actress.

In fact, Ms. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta's recent "Best Actress" Golden Globe for her performance in "American Horror Story," was well deserved.

But, Gaga's tribute performance at the 73rd Grammy Awards show, in honor of the legendary David Bowie, is getting some serious criticism by Bowie fans and even Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, who tweeted his disdain after the tribute, "overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?

Gaga's tribute kicked off with an extreme close up on her face, with an image of Ziggy Stardust's famous make-up, superimposed over her. When Gaga started singing that's when the performance took a turn for the worse. Dressed in a high waisted jump suit that looked more Elvis (circa late 70's) then Ziggy, she rushed through a disjointed medley of Bowie's legendary hits, including Space Oddity, Changes, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City, Rebel Rebel, Fashion, Fame, Under Pressure, Let's Dance and Heroes.

Unfortunately, Gaga's tribute seriously missed the mark.

Gaga's performance left fans wondering, was this a showcase for Gaga or a Bowie centric tribute?

Gaga's performance was more about a Gaga resurrection or comeback into the current music scene, then about honoring Bowies contributions and legacy to Rock music.

The tribute was chaotic and more about Gaga transforming into Bowie (at one point she even distorted her voice to emulate his signature sound) versus Gaga just simply being Gaga and singing (in her signature voice) a tribute to Bowie. We would have preferred Gaga chose one song and put her unique spin on it.

We must admit, the entire production of the awards ceremony also displayed an unformatted, chaotic, disjointed collection of visuals. The Director was off in the pacing and the sound quality confused viewers.

Now, lets not shoot the messenger. Clearly, Gaga stepped up to the massive challenge. She is an obvious fan and where were the other artists to pay tribute to Bowie this year? Not one other well known musician felt compelled to honor Bowie?

There is no question Gaga is a super fan of Bowie and in the end she did ultimately honor his legacy just by taking a risk. Sometimes the risk reward doesn't payoff but, taking a risk is essentially honoring the essence of what Bowie was all about.

Speaking of the music scene or shall we say, lack of music and more about an abundance of narcissistic self aggrandizement, the current music scene is entrenched in a formulaic machine that generates at best, mediocre music. Overall, the music generated today seriously lacks elements of what Bowie's music symbolized: real substance, originality, authenticity and a sense of sacrifice and struggle.

Bottom line, if Bowie represents the passing of a musical era and Gaga is the Millennial representative expected to carry on the spirit of Ziggy Stardust, then what will be the future of Rock and Roll?

Will any new artist truly carry on the substantial cultural impact that Bowie and several artists of that era contributed to society?

Only time will tell...

Ya know you wanna!

Supple Curls

Who wouldn’t want bouncy and shiny curls for the holidays. These last longer when adding Essence Absolute Oil by Shu Uemura into your volumizing gel or moose. Curating the perfect hair cocktail to keep the ends hydrated and shiny while keeping volume at the roots. Camelia oil known for its fastest absorbency will keep those ends split free and will keep your color looking vibrant just like Emily Ratajkowsk hair. Always use product to shield the shaft of hair prior to using a 1 inch iron to wind casual sections of hair around the barrel away from the face.

Smooth and Sleek

Straight, easy and disciplined is sometimes the best way to manage a super lengthy mane. To attain Selena’s sensual style one must contain the hair with a little love from Kerastase’s must have product called Crème de la Crème - lotion like crème with some heat protection, will keep those ends silky smooth and humidity controlled. Opt to using a little flat iron for that ultimate shine post blow-drying the entire head.

Easy Texture

Effortless and painless is the way I like to describe Kristen Stewart’s hair styles over the many we have seen her in some of our favorite movies. Weather in life or on camera, she puts the ideology of “I woke up like this” theory into real life, which is craved by the millions. The must have product to achieve a casual textured style is a star product called Texture Wave by Shu Uemura. Tussle, ruffle or style on dry hair, this miracle in a bottle is a great finish to a perfect blowout. The best way to set long hair for a few minutes to a half hour is to create a bun on top of your head and secure with a butterfly clip.

Wash and Go

Curly hair has now become manageable with the ultimate holiday luxury of a lightweight gel, which will tame and sculpt your curls to a manageable air died texture. Have you always craved Helena Bonham Carter’s luscious, bouncy texture. Kerastase has revolutionized a product called Curl Fever - brilliant gel to be applied on wet hair. Diffused with a blow-dryer or air-died this product will continue to make you crave more of it the minute it runs out. For curls which are uneven my favorite tool to use is a curling wand to sculpt those curls with a bit more balance to its shape.
