Happy Hump Day: Sam Huntington

I opened up voting for this week’s hump day hottie on the blog’s Facebook page and you guys spoke up with Sam Huntington from SyFy’s  Being Human. Although I’m not a big fan of this US version (it was originally a series on the BBC), I can appreciate the cuties on the show. Sam plays a man grappling with the reality that he is a werewolf, that has just shacked up with his coworker, a vampire, in an attempt at being human. Upon choosing their space, they realize that they have inherited a third roommate: a ghost. Although I like the concept, I feel like this US version doesn’t make it very believable. I’m curious to check out the original UK series, as everyone raves about it constantly – but, enough about the show, let’s give Sam a little love!

Suits Me Just Fine

Being born and raised in Miami, a kid learns to feel as comfortable in a bathing suit as in their own PJ’s. I had my first bikini before I could walk, and my love for a good suit has not subsided. My goal for this summer is to spend more time at the beach (believe it or not, I have not laid on the sand for a very long time), and in our new pool (it’s getting a face lift sometime in the next couple of months), so it’s imperative for me to stock up on some new & hot bathing suits!

Here are some of my favorites:

Weekend Highlights

3/11 is not only 311 day (!!!), but also my mother and brother-in-law’s birthdays. Friday night we celebrated their birthdays at my sister’s house, and just had a generally good time with family. I personally loved my adorable outfit that night, but unfortunately, I forgot to take a quick full-length shot for the blog. Oops!

Saturday night, the 90’s never died. My friend, Bonnie, and I went to the Magic City Casino to see the Gin Blossoms and Sugar Ray show. Yeah, you read right. How could I resist? We had such a good time going back in time via music – Gin Blossoms were ridiculous, in a great way. They teased that at this point in their career, they would play anywhere. Don’t joke, ‘Blossoms. I do have a birthday coming up 😉

My heart goes out to the people of Japan. The images and live footage have been horrific to watch.

Lovable Friday: Concert Edition

I know I usually feature items that are currently on my wish list at the moment on Fridays, but for the first time in what felt like eons, I went to two separate shows this week and wanted to share them both with you all! After all, it’s been a long time since a concert review here on Melificent.

Monday night the hubs and I checked out Ra Ra Riot at the Culture Room in Broward. They’re an indie rock band from New York that boasts both a cellist and violinist, how many rock bands can say the same? That’s definitely what makes them stand out in the vast crowd of indie hipsters out there, and what drew me to their sound. However, seeing them perform live only solidified my opinion of them. They totally and completely killed it. They were “on” from start to end, and really blew me away with their passionate performance. Even my husband, who is a bit of a musical elitist, was impressed.

Really glad I decided to drop my cash on these guys rather than the Gin Blossoms & Sugar Ray tomorrow. As much as I would have liked reliving the 90’s nostalgia, I doubt they would have wow’ed me much (but I still kinda wanna go).

If you haven’t heard of Ra Ra Riot, check out their debut album (& my personal favorite), The Rhumb Line. For a little taste, check out their video for Can You Tell (a song I most definitely rocked out to on Monday night):
