Charlie Sheen's Surprise Appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Some think he is obnoxious and self-centered while others think he is funny and real. I personally adore him but think he's a bit extreme at times. Who am I talking about? None other than 'Mr. Winning' himself Charlie Sheen.

He has been in the news many weeks now after being dropped from  hit TV series Two and a Half Men and his alleged obsession with drugs and porn stars. He recently made headlines again when he made a surprise visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live, during a segment with Mark Cuban. What did he do that was so abrupt? Sheen greeted  Kimmel with a kiss on the lips. Wooooow!!! He is known to be the 'ladies man' so it caught me off guard to see him kiss another man. This was a bit over the top but then again it's Charlie Sheen...

To Diet or Not to Diet....

Since recently I have been realizing changes in my body; very scary changes. I am getting fat! Ever since I were a child I have always eaten whatever and whenever I wanted. I have never paid attention to what I eat nor have I been a fan of the gym, mainly  because I never had issues with weight. Now that I'm in my mid-20's it is inevitable to maintain my weight as my metabolism rate has slowed down. At first I was ignoring these changes but recently decided to re-evaluate my diet and take bettter care of my body.

I drink a lot of juices and sodas and barely any water. Yes I know you guys are saying I'm crazy but water was always a last resort for me. I have however did a complete 180-degrees and now water is always my first choice. I have cut out sodas completely and I'm careful with the juices that I buy. I read the labels very carefully now.


Everyday for lunch I used to eat Pollo Tropical; quarter chicken, yellow rice and balsamic tomatoes. Very yummy but I have also cut it out, well not completely. I have decided to cut out rice and substitute it for a salad. There are some days now that I bring my own lunch to work. I have been doing a lot of chicken caesar salads, salmon with vegetables, and grilled chicken wraps. I can honestly say I do feel the fat slowly melting off my skin and I don't feel as bloated and fatigue as I used to.


I love fruits but hardly have it. I was used to snacking on cheetos or oreos but now I have also cut out these snacks. I prepare a big tupperware of various fruits such as pineapple, watermelon and grapes and bring it to work with me everyday. Every time I get the muches, I reach for my fruits.


Now last but not least, I started going to the gym. Not on my own because I would never be able to tell the purpose of each machine. My friends find it funny because they know I'm not a fan, as I used to watch them workout instead of working out with them. I am loving the elliptical and the treadmill. I'm really busy between juggling work and school but I now make it an effort to workout at least three times per week. I also try to swim for at least an hour per week.


These changes have not been easy especially since this was my lifestyle. I am proud however that my self-discipline is beyond my expectations. Taking better care of my body and eating healthier has never felt this great.....

Birthday Cake with Personality

My friend recently posted some photos on Facebook from her birthday party and everything about her party seemed not only fabolous but also extraordinary. One thing that stuck out most was her birthday cake. It represented her so well; Chanel pocketbook and Christian Louboutin shoes. I just thought I would share such great craftmanship with you guys.

Ballin' on a Budget

As females it is our duty to always look good. Some of us can maintain our upkeep on a regular without being budget-conscious and some of us may struggle. It is every woman's inalienable right to have a pulled-together, stylish and confident wardrobe. Most of us have this notion however that in order to accomplish these things, we have to spend a lot of money. That is a myth! So often I see females spend hundreds of dollars on one outfit but don't look pulled-together. My duty is to help  the budget-conscious female look good while on a budget. I won't give a long list of places to shop. Instead I will let you in on the stores that do it for me. The stores that have merchandise that make you look like a million bucks when you didn't even spend fifty.

Forever 21


My all time favorite store to shop is forever 21. Three-quarter of my closet comprise of stuff from there. They are well-known for their inexpensive and fashion-forward merchandise. I absolutely love this store because no matter who you are and what your fashion sense is, you are guaranteed to find something that suits you. They recentlty started carrying plus sizes and this has broadening their clientele. They carry apparel, accessories, shoes and make-up. Most of their clothing is priced below thirty-five dollars. Spending two hundred dollars can make you feel as if you got a whole new wardrobe.Take my advice and stop spending hundreds of dollars on clothing that goes out of style anyway. Visit a Forever 21 store, you will still be trendy and I bet no one will be able to really tell the difference.

Hot Miami Styles

I came across Hot Miami Styles website one day while just doing random searches on Google and I have been addicted ever since. They do carry a wide range of merchandise but my favorite thing to purchase from them are dresses. They have the most unique and affordable dresses. They update their site just about every week with new merchandise and because of this I purchase a dress a week. Their price is also great as all dresses are under forty dollars. Perfect place to shop for that girls' night outfit.

Make Me Chic

This was a site that was recommended by a friend. I have never heard of it and thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out. This is now one of my favorite websites to shop. They carry very trend-saavy merchandise that is very similar in price as Forever 21 and they are within my budget. I buy everything from them such as apparel, accessories, shoes and even lingerie. They also offer great coupons from time to time.

What is the purpose of the Bad Girls Club

We love the cattiness, we love the name-calling and of course we love all the drama but what is the ultimate purpose of the Bad Girls Club?

The Bad Girls Club is a reality television series that airs on Monday nights on  Oxygen at 9 p.m. It is currently on its sixth season and even though I love the show and have been watching it since the first season, I still can't comprehend how the show is helping to mold these "so-called bad girls" into better people.

Basically the show documents the lives of seven young women who have personal, behavioral, and psychological problems. The women must live together in a mansion for three months and must be able to adapt and respect each other's space but that is hardly ever the case, as there is a fight every episode.

The purpose of having these women on the show is to help them grow to be "normal" people in society but the show is not offering that at all to these women as it implies that bad behavior is justifiable. There is constant partying with unlimited booze, constant fighting and frequent promiscuity. How is the show helping these women to shy away from the things that make them "bad girls"? It is not, as there is no true guidance or counseling offered to assist these women.They are left alone to act out irrationally to boost their ratings and make a name for themselves.

The show is fun to watch but I think that some sort of rehabilitation program  needs to be implemented to showcase that these "bad girls" have overcome certain behavioral problems. They say once a good girl is gone bad, she's gone forever. Who said it can't be vice versa?
