A Healthier You During and After the Holidays!

The year is unwinding and Christmas decor is in full swing! Holidays are so wonderful especially when spent with friends and family. With mistletoe kisses and glasses of wine filling the heart with laughter oh how the joys of love explode with delight! The smell of turkey and ham, stuffing pumpkin pie and the works!! Yum! With America becoming more obese over the years cut back on your calories by cooking a little more healthier. Use less salt, try wheat bread crumbs to cook stuffing from scratch, don't deep fry- bake and use less better or a low calorie one.

If your feeling that heavy drag after the holidays take on an exercise regiment (be sure to check with your doctor before starting). You will be surprised how fast you loose those pounds with a few routine exercises a week!

Career moves and real truths...

In a world of uncertainty how confident are you with where you stand career wise? As a student the more I hear about the unsteady economy and unsure path of teachers jobs I began to wonder. With the decision of going back to school and finishing my degree, I find myself keeping my options open on my career path. I have always been draw to writing so it's what I'm deciding to do until my path of certainty is obtained. I can imagine that being a people's person is a must in this world. The very basis of having social skills still remains a skill in the business world much needed to seal a deal. How else would you survive in the career field?

I personally feel that if you really want something bad enough, you'll go after it. Having dreams and inspirations is key to success. There will always be bumps and brick walls along the way but taking one step at a time to overcome each obstacle will make conquering the goal that much sweeter. And in those moments of "I can't take it anymore" strive through I can guarantee you it will all be worth it in the end! Just make sure the career you choose you love it! That makes all the difference!!

Friday Nite Fling..dont judge!

Yet another week has passed us by! Its Friday and weekend plans are in full effect after 5pm. Some even start there weekend with a delicious martini cocktail. A big sigh exhales off the lips of most as that first sip is slithered down the windpipe! How do you unwind? Is it a novel that intrigues your adventurous mind, music that soothes the brain cells or maybe you kick back and click on the tv? With whatever you do you know that this time is you time and like every other American in this world we all experience the sense of relaxation differently, so don't judge.

I find that most of my friends, after having a long week of work, school, and kids, we enjoy gathering together and playing catch up with what has been going on in our lives. Everyone always has an unforgettable, exciting or an awkward story to tell. Whats yours? Feel free to share your weekend below -> And remember Dont Judge! lol

Fashion Cutbacks!

Ok so fashion has been a big thing in American trend. Sometimes what people wear can dictate attitude such as confidence. And f.y.i just because its a recession that is def. not going to stop savvy buyers from heading to the malls and getting what they want. Yeah it may take the average person to save a little before they make there awesome purchase but believe me people are going to get what they want even if they have to place something else on hold in their lives! Below Ive listed a couple of ways to save for your trends:

1. Cut back on coffee! Yes i know ya'll caffeine freaks love it but take this into consideration next time your rushing to get the cup. Stay in the place where you got it and see if the refills are cheaper than buying another cup? Not only will this save you a ton of money but if your heading to these sit-down do-your-work places then do just that. Not only do they offer internet to get work done when your not in the office but you can also enjoy the short get away from the normal routine!

2. Doggie chores! I know its a pain but your fluffy companion is like family right? I know you take the time to dress him up why not walk and clean him yourself? To bathe a dog takes about 10 minutes. That would save you anywhere from $25 to $150 dollars depending on what kind of dog you have. And its okay to make a mistake if you have one of those i-need-a-trim for-real dogs. It's hair and will grow back! Dont forget nail trimming its the easiest thing ever and take 2 minutes. You can find a trimmer @ your local petstore and over time can save you $10 everytime you clip his nails.

3. Pool ride! You know you've got great friends when all of you can ride together in one car and still make it to your destination with everyone having a smile on your face. Chose someone different every time yall want to hit the mall, park, church or rollerskate rink/poolhall. This will help save gas and chosing someone different will help build bond betterwith friends!

4. Penny pinch! You know what they say "A penny earned is a penny saved!" You will be surprised how they add up and before you know it you will have a box full of em! Also whatever change you receive back from purchases go ahead and throw it in the box! lol

5. Cook! Its fun and you can be creative with recipes. Eating out all the time waste alot of money and once you realize this you will be surprised on how fast your able to purchase your trendy outfit.

There are many other ways to save money. I hope these few ways will help. You can also sit down and make a list of your own. Just look at your spending habits and see what you can cut back on. Things you can for yourself are usually the one's that can save you the most!

As If! BEWARE of scams...

its that time again and it only runs out quicker than you could gather all of your reciepts and info...but beware of scams that lurk right around the corner. I know alot of ya'll havent filed hell neither have I! But dont just go to anyone who makes such great promises of a good return! There are dozens of scams hacking into your email accounts and phinshing for your precious info to steal and use later against you..your best bet is to go to a reputible company. I know you dont have time to look at the info yourself so just click the link below and take a looka t what i found. you wont believe some of the things people will do to make you think your getting a quick buck!

What a Breakdown!

Yeah yeah I know this is a ppolitical blog but hey someones got to talk about it! If not millions are left in the dark wondering whats going on or just dont take the time to read news as such..Im not a politician but would appreciate someone sharing whats going on in the country about my future healthcare. Sometimes i think Americans have become so dependent on t.v and these issues which are not really talked about on t.v and brushed under the rug never to be heard about are printed in newspaper publications and put online so that we: being the lazy americans that sometimes we can be, will not take time to read it. Soooo...

Below i've posted a link so you can get a better understanding of the "healthcare crisis" we have going on in America. If i can reach at least one person then i've done my job enjoy!
