It’s been awhile since I’ve wasted your time like this, mostly because I haven’t had the time to waste in helping you waste yours. Today I’m checked out, though, so here you go:
Ciudad is yummy, 30% off is delicious. [Blackboard Eats]
Last week I went to a makeup line launch party, and the artist asked me which cosmetic brands I prefer. My response was something along the lines of “whatever I can steal from my mom and/or get free from launches like this one.” Anyway, on the off chance I’m actually going to purchase my next round of beauty products, it’s nice to know that Topshop and H&M offer affordable options. [Refinery 29]
Part of my New Years resolution was that I’d no longer be seen at places like this. No, that wasn’t me you saw at Voyeur on Saturday…or Thursday…well, at least this offers me an alternative to Voyeur, right? [Eater LA]
This website makes me happy every day. And if you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that’s no easy task. I was particularly taken with this lovely Parisian/travel-themed posting. It has nothing to do with being broke, except perhaps that it’s my love of things like this that keeps my bank account funneled into Kayak.com. [This Is Glamorous]
LA public schools are about to get worse. My advice? Marry rich. Just kidding. Kind of. [Huff Po]
One of my exes is a reporter covering the quake in Chile. Kind of hope he falls into the rubble, but happy this little guy was pulled out. [Huff Po]
And finally, those of you interested in fighting through hordes of dbag gatecrashers should take note of this special offer from Hollywood Tans in honor of the Oscars this weekend. [Hollywood Tans]

It’s below 60 degrees outside. You actually got a good parking spot for the first time in your life. You don’t want to run into your ex and his new extensions-wearing whore-of-a-girlfriend. Whatever your reason is for staying in for the night, you might as well have a movie to watch, right?
I agree, which is why you should take one of the codes listed below to your local Blockbuster Express to score yourself a free DVD. To be honest, I had never heard of Blockbuster Express, but apparently it’s a way to avoid all human interaction when renting a movie. This is perfect for someone with terrible taste in movies and a tendency to not wear makeup. Who, me?
Check out the promotion codes below:
GOLIVE – Free one night Rental (Exp 3/3)
GE12B – Free one night Rental (Exp 3/8)
GT21A – Free one night Rental (Exp 3/12)
GL9RA – Free one night Rental (Exp 3/31)
I think it’s worth a shot. Can I recommend Monsters Inc.?

*Editor’s Note: I recently became an instant play fanatic on Netflix and have since lost the will to live in the outside world. I should fire Sarah for bringing more ways to be a loser to my attention, but I think I’m more likely to give her my job so I can dedicate myself more fully to streaming movies into my sad little studio apartment. Congratulations, Sarah! If you need me I’ll be watching Love Story and The Notebook on loop.

This one actually has me really excited: free cooking classes at Whole Foods!
The Whole Foods located at 11666 National Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064, is offering FOUR free classes in March.
The first class is called The Skinny on Citrus with Executive Chef Monique King from NINETHIRTY and The Backyard restaurants at W Hotel Los Angeles. It’s going to be on Wednesday, March 3 at 6:30p.m. Learn how to “creatively” cook with citrus and demo roasted baby beet salad with arugula, grapefruit, blue cheese and horseradish dressing, and two other recipes from Monique’s kitchen. (That sounds like free dinner to me.)
The second, Spring Sweep Vegan Cooking Class, will teach you how to make “delicious spring detox vegan dishes to help cleanse your body.” It’s on Thursday, March 11 at 6pm and boasts of such dishes as lemony artichoke dip, spring veggie stir fry with ginger apricot sauce, raw kale salad with fennel in a miso vinaigrette and chocolaty rice squares. Considering my idea of vegan cooking means opening a bag of salad mix, I can use all the help I can get. Take a look at the personal chef, Melissa Costello’s website here.
The third class, Healthy Appetizers with Chef Eric, is on Wednesday, March 17 at 6:00p.m. Since this class is on Saint Patrick’s Day, a beloved holiday in my family, I’m going to have to pass on this one. However, if you want to spend a drinking day getting your wild mushroom and spinach fritters on for free, please be my guest.
The fourth class is Spring Produce Vegetarian Cooking Class on Wednesday, March 24 at 6:00p.m. The chef, LiilaYerro, is a vegan and vegetarian personal chef and cooking instructor. This is another one that sounds like it has free food potential, which makes for one happy broke girl.
You can check out this Whole Food’s website here or Facebook page here to view the events for yourself. Go to one, go to them all, but be sure to get there early to reserve yourself a prime food tasting/gorging spot.
Location: 11666 National Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90064
Phone: (310) 996 8840
Hours: M-Su 7:00 am – 10:00 pm

Here’s a goofy pic of David Arquette from Girls Night Out last Thursday…I was going to post a couple of the ones I’m actually in but they didn’t turn out so cute.
Thanks to everyone who came out!! I just got a little preview of our next show, and it’s going to be a good one. Stay Tuned!
