So Nick Jonas, Keith Urban and Pitbull Walk into a Bar…
Actually, they didn’t walk into any bar. They walked into Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC for the first ever PlentiTogether LIVE show, on behalf of the new Plenti Credit Card from Amex.
I have to be honest, this was probably the most unique compilation of artists I’ve seen at a show. This includes the time I was 16 and went to Bamboozle to see Snoop Dog play after my favorite emo band, Say Anything perform. Black eyeliner, Motorola flip phones and Myspace!
Regardless, this was an AMAZING concert. The folks over at Plenti and Amex sure know how to throw a concert. Nick Jonas came on first and melted hearts as he popped up in a white t shirt, guns ablazin and belting out “Jealous” and “Chains”.
The crowd went crazy as he performed, and I think I may have even spotted Kevin Jonas up in the bleachers somewhere. Probably most surprising to me was Keith Urban. I’ve never been to a country concert before, but he disappeared from the stage at one point and magically appeared in THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWD shredding his guitar and converting every single person in there into a country music fan. Props to you Mr. Urban. I get why Nicole Kidman is married to you.
*Keith Urban – Country Artist / Magician
Finally, Pitbull, or MR.WORLDWIDE came on stage and threw the most explosive performance wrought with dancers, confetti, exaggerated hip thrusts and over the top amazingness. (Is that a word?) Thanks so much to the folks over at Plenti and Amex for throwing this amazing concert!
And just to let you guys know..Plenti is a new loyalty program from Amex. It combines major brands like AT&T, Exxon, Macy’s, Rite Aid, Enterprise Rent – A Car and Hulu so that when you shop from any of these brands you can combine all your points into one place. That’s practical thinking! If you’re interested take a look at the new Plenti Credit Card from Amex by clicking here.

Finding the Perfect Pair of Sunglasses with Covry Sunwear
When I was in High School, this punk rock boy my friend was dating would teasingly say my nose looked like a “skateboard ramp” because I didn’t have a bridge. For a while after that I became super insecure about my nose. Was I weird for not having a nose that looked like all the actors that I saw on TV and the magazines? I spent a good portion of that year looking into the mirror, with my fingers in the shape of an angled L on my nose trying to imagine what my nose would look like if it were a little “bridge-ier”. I did this for hours at a time being emo listening to “Dashboard Confessional” and “Panic At the Disco” and practicing my liquid eyeliner in the bathroom.
It was only with time did I realize that most Asians like myself have little to no bridge anyway. It’s a characteristic that makes me, and all my other fellow asians intrinsically unique. That and the kid ended up dropping out of school and I realized he was just a silly teenage boy.
That is, until it gets to be a sweltering, sunny day (like today) and my sunglasses (https://www.globosurfer.com/best-polarized-sunglasses/) slide off my nose and I’m stuck pushing up my glasses like a nerd every two seconds. I think to myself, “DAMN IT. He was right all along! My nose is a skateboard ramp for sunglasses!”
HOWEVER, there is a solution! For anyone who’s ever been in a sunglass situation similar to mine, Florence Shin and Athina Wang, co founders of Covry Sunwear are launching a line of sunglasses that are specifically targeted towards problems like these! I mean, sliding sunglasses not teenage boy bullies.
Covry Sunwear, besides being super cute + stylish, have longer nose pads, narrowed nose bridge and a smaller curve of the frame. As a plus, for all you green conscious pals out there, these glasses are hypoallergenic, made from renewable resources, and made of high quality Acetate. Polarized, UV protected lenses round out these sturdy yet fashionable specs, so I’d say anyone’s momma would approve! These are a perfect for my features, and anyone who has had any trouble with contemporary sunglasses skating off their face.
These ladies have already fulfilled their KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN with an amazing$53,127, surpassing their original goal of $18,500. You can get your own pair of COVRY sunglasses this Fall by signing up for updates here. PLUS THEY SHIP FOR FREE ALL OVER THE US, AND SHIP ALL OVER THE WORLD.
