My Food Revolution

I have decided...not all at once...but over time, to completely change my diet. I am doing this for more than one reason. First of all, I don't want to die young. I want to live a long AND healthy life for myself, my partner, and my future children. I also don't want to contribute to the cruelty towards animals in the factory farming industry. Not only that, but the food is pumped with such terrible and unhealthy things that allow them to make the products more quickly and for a cheaper price, and that allows the food to last longer. Sounds great, right? But is this "cheaper way out" an appropriate substitute? Is eating processed foods, and food that really isn't food at all, an appropriate solution for saving money and time on our meals? After a deep personal analysis of what I think really matters in life, I've come to the conclusion that buying groceries with a later expiration date (or NO expiration date at all) isn't worth risking a shorter life. I am not saying that I am turning into a vegan or vegetarian, because this important discussion goes further than animals. I am stating that "I will only eat REAL food". I will research all of my food before I eat it and make sure to be completely conscious of everything I consume. I will document my journey, hopefully daily, and let you take a look inside my struggles, developments, and discoveries through this life changing process. Wish me luck!!!!! (I'm SURE I'll need it)

Diggin This Get-Up

So so 80's from head to toe!! I would rock this NO questions asked...

GOTTA have these CHAIN shades!!!

So what do you think of these shades that a few stylish sexies are sportin around town? Rihanna's been wearin the pair that I also found on www.patriciafield.com. Amber Rose has been sportin her vintage Chanels that are TO DIE FOR. But as much as I would loooove to, I can't be reaching waaaay deep in my pockets and spending massive amounts just to support my fashion fetish. I mean $250 for these suckas, really??? Maybe next lifetime...but until then I can TRY to make do with some DIY tips that I found on a few other blogs. I took some of their tips and sorta changed it up to make it mine! Instead of using the huge chain that the other girls were rockin, I wanted to go with a less "gangsta" type theme and more of an M.I.A., feminine feel. So VOILA!! Check it out....

1. Ok basically grab a pair of cheap glasses with, preferably, a flat top (makes gluing MUCH easier). I got my glasses on sale for $3 at Heritage in the mall. Then get a chain of some sort. Doesn't have to be the ghetto fab chain. It can be whatever you wanna rock, but the lighter in weight the chain is the better...the glue will stay better and the glasses will stay on your face!!!

2. Next grab a glue gun and start gluing away! I actually glued in dots across the top rather than a line, it made my chain come out more even and straight on top. I started doing dots right in the middle of the glasses and worked my way out, that way the chain was more balanced at all times. Blow Blow Blow on the glue, make sure its dry before moving to the next piece of chain. Wait at least a few hours to make sure everything is secure, and then strut your shades like ur on Rodeo Drive with the paparazzi flashin ;)

And this is the end product!! Whatcha think??

P.S: Don't mind the lack of makeup :)

My Top Ten (Good and Bad) Moments from the VMA's

10. Eminem just looked bad to me. Can't put my finger on it, but somethin wasn't right. But at least Bruno wasn't landing in awkward positions on his face.

9. Jay-Z is growin on me ;) He's taking Lil Wayne's spot quick. and Lil Mama...no no no no no haha. Alicia Keys was great tho, and her leggings were the JAM!! Loved em.

8. Beyonce is just classy...even when she's breakin it down, u gotta give it to her, she's classy!! Although, she shoulda sang at least a LITTLE of Sweet Dreams.

7. Lady Gaga lost points in my book last night, for obvious reasons.

6. Madonna couldn't have said it any better!! A perfect speech. Long Live The King!!.. MJ woulda been so proud. And I must say, I'll be seeing the MJ movie too, it looks pretty good.

5. Janet just kicked butt too...Lovely lady. The whole Tribute was great...I don't think I like Jermaine too much tho, he seems a little too much like his dad.

4. Pink is the ish man!!! Who else can do that?? And she totally wasn't lip synching! Amazing. Carey Hart...don't screw it up again man, she's one hell of a woman!!!

3. Where was Drake? Kinda disappointed bout that one. On tour? I dunno...At least I saw a second of my Brit Brit tho :) Ok, and can someone explain Diddy's Dirty Money thing to me please? Not sure I completely understand it. At least Dawn is back.

2. Taylor Taylor Taylor. Well, it was a very bad moment, but she got some good publicity from it! Taylor Swift is just too cute, she didnt deserve that crap from Kanye. I can go on forever about how I feel about Kanye, but he just doesn't deserve to be talked about...in a good light OR bad light so moving on... Oh, and then Beyonce saved the day, good for her.

1. Amber Rose, I like her....and my advice to her is: MOVE ON from Kanye, you are too good for him. Please see what he did as a red flag and get the hell out! The world has seen again the wrath of Kanye, and thankfully I'm pretty sure he and his career are pretty much done for. (Not that he's not talented, but he is not thankful nor is he respectful AT ALL, I don't care how much Hennessy he'd been sippin on, no excuse)...MAN, but was he on point or WHAT when he recorded EGO!?! lol

***Ok....Those were my Top Ten, but I saved my FAV for LAST. And of course it's my precious vamps!! NEW MOON looks so fantastically, amazingly, wonderfully PERFECT!!! Just from the few trailers, I can already tell it was made waaaay better than Twilight. The Volturi...everything looks very believable!!! Sorta Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings-ish. LOoOoOoOoOoVE it. 11/20/09 can not come soon enough...

I agree with Simon...PERFECT audition

Check out this guy!! Danyl Johnson has CrAzY talent, plus a kind of endearing confidence that touches the audience in a way that I've never seen before on any of these shows. He'll go very far :) I look forward to seeing more from him! (Click on the link below)

TRUE BLOOD...My Guilty Pleasure :)

Anyone who has been skeptical about watching this HBO series for whatever reason....Take the PLUNGE and take a BITE into this irresistable show!!! It will NOT leave you disappointed!

Hey, I will be the first to say Twilight had me hooked....so don't feel like you are betraying Edward by giving in to another little vampire fantasy. True Blood brings the more adult and sexy element of vamps to the stage, and with it comes a great story line, strong characters, and a good ole dirty southern atmosphere.

I've only watched Season 1, and I'm going to wait to watch Season 2 when the entire DVD comes out because I hate waiting a whole week between each episode. So until then, I will be dreaming about Bill Compton and his sexy southern charm.

Sookie Stackhouse is one lucky lady :)
