HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! SOME OF MY FAVORITE IRISH SINGERS

Ireland has no lack of famous singers, but today, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I will focus on three: Sinead O'Connor, Enya and the band U2. I mean, come on!!! These musicians have sold millions of albums and have, in one form or another, been political, helpful and outspoken about their home country. Here are my favorite songs from U2, Sinead and Enya: Sinead's No Man's Woman, Enya's Caribbean Blue, U2's Where The Streets Have No Name and Sinead ft. Enya on Never Gets Old.  Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

21-DAY CLEANSE: DAY 18

DAY 18: After last night's successful dinner (so delish) I slept like a baby and woke up at 7 this morning to make juice for breakfast. I put on my Madonna and juiced away. That sounds disgusting. I made juice. Okay. Packed up my lunch and headed out the door for another day at work only to be met by another beautiful New York morning. Since it was Bono's birthday today I enlisted U2 to get me through my morning work at my desk and they did a great job, I must say. Well, along with some mixed nuts and tea, of course. Lunch was my ol' staple of veggies and hummus. A nice, quiet, uneventful morning. Once again, my afternoon at work was not too shabby. Smooth and easy going. It's still really pleasant outside, sunny with a nice, cool breeze. Stopped by the store on the way home and got some black bean spaghetti and organic pasta sauce to mix with some veggies for dinner. I got home and did my cardio on my home elliptical. That thing has really come in handy. I'm so glad I go it! If you wanna check it out you should click HERE. It's totally affordable and saves you time. Yay! I had myself a green smoothie as an afternoon snack. Dinner turned out to be so good and so filling! And for desert? Dried apricot. Yummy. Okay. Now I have a ton of tv to catch up on, so goodbye for tonight. See you on Day 19!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BONO!!

Rock god and frontman of U2, Bono, is 52 today!! Truly one of the most recognizable and amazing voices in rock history, Bono and U2 have dominated the charts for more than 30 years now. Selling over 150 million records, winning 22 Grammys and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have assured Bono a place in history. U2 are currently on haitus, but Bono continues to work tirelessly for his many, many charities involving Africa and AIDS and was even nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Oh, and he's also a sexy, sexy guy!! THAT VOICE!!! That voice that can make me cry at its very sound. Ah. I am a HUGE fan of Bono and U2, so I'd like to share some of my favorite songs with you. Check it below and celebrate Bono all day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BONO

Bono, one of my fave singers from one of my fave bands of all time (U2, duh!) is 50 today!!! He is sexy, smart and gives a ton of time to so many causes that you can't possibly keep up with them. HE IS A FREAKIN' LEGEND!!! Enjoy some of Bono and U2's best.

MADONNA JOINS LIST OF PERFORMERS AT HAITI TELETHON

Madonna has confirmed via her website that she is going to join the growing list of performers at the telethon organized by George Clooney that is trying to raise butt loads of money for Haiti. The telethon will air this Friday evening. Among the other performers are Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Shakira, Taylor Swift and Bono. Madonna had previously released this statement:

"My prayers are with the people of Haiti. I can’t imagine the terrible pain and suffering they are experiencing. Sadly the depths of the tragedy are just becoming known and the need for our support grows more urgent with every passing moment. I have given a donation of $250,000 to assist Haiti’s earthquake victims through Partner’s in Health (http://www.pih.org/) one of Haiti’s leading health care providers. I urge all of my friends and fans around the world to join me collectively to match my contribution or give in any way you can. We must act now. Thank you for your support” Madonna

BONO'S MESSAGE FOR WORLD AIDS DAY

Bono has worked tirelessly to fight AIDS and is a big hero of mine, both musically and as a human being. Listen to his words about World AIDS Day or you are a douchebag.
