Ratatouille
This was an entertaining animation. Yes animation. If you’re not a chartoon lover like myself perhaps this movie will change your mind.
Its an inspiring story which remind us that you can truly accomplish whatever you want to in life. Obstacles are surely to come about as they do for Remy, but that doesn’t stop him. So cuddle up with the kiddies or your loved one and enjoy it on this potentially rainy Friday 🙂
Until then

“All life is a chance. So take it! The person who goes furthest is the one who is willing to do and dare.”
— Dale Carnegie, motivational expert
We’re a day short of the weekend and if that makes you sad, smile for 16 seconds straight. The studies show that smiling for that length of time sends neurotransmitters to your brain signaling that you are in a good mood. If the 16 seconds are done and you’re still in a funk on this terrific Thursday, shoes might cheer you up. Yes you to fellas! Don’t shake your head, I think guys are just as crazy about clothes and shoes as us ladies. A trip to a very far mall to acquire a pair of $90 shoes confirms my answer…for whom I went, his name will remain nameless 🙂
Shoes for less…Payless….This is by far not an official advertisement for Payless, but I figured their email to me got my attention when it featured their Summer 2010 Designer Collection. So the shopaholic in me will tell you to wait for their B1G1 1/2 Price Sale but in the meantime pick out the ones you like 🙂
For Women these caught my eye (Clicking on the links will bring you to a visual aid):
Scalloped Peep-Toe Pump by Christian Siriano for Payless – Christian Siriano has a FIERCE sense, while keeping it simple. I have a pair that he did during the fall for payless and they were SUPER high and SUPER cute 🙂
Anise Bow Flat by zoe&zac – These look SUPER COMFY!
Wait for It Sandal by Montego Bay Club – These look SUPER FUN!
Rope Wedge Sandal by Dexter – These look like they’d be perfect for my feet in Mexico 🙂
Neilson Bow Flat Lela Rose for Payless –These are cute for a night out with the girls 🙂
Fellas not sure what your taste is but here is the link to the men’s section on the Payless site AND there is a sale 🙂 Go to Men’s Shoes
If shoes do not cheer you up try the smiling thing again! Let me know if it works for you and what other things you do to get yourself in a gooooooooooood mood.
Until then

“Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.”
— Katherine Mansfield, author
Happy Almost Friday! I thought it appropriate to unveil what I’ve learned about what affects weight while I’m in gym mode and can say that I take my own advice. There are so many factors to take into account that affect one’s weight. I could write forever on it but I thought I’d keep it short and sweet, with of course links to do more research if you wish 🙂
Eating Healthy Foods: The goal here is to eat everything in moderation. I’ve read in many places that fruits and vegetables should be the larger portions of what you are eating. Some say stay away from meats, while others say if you eat meat make sure its lean. Dairy should also be limited. (Skinny Bitch goes into greater detail) Also do a little research as to where your food comes from as not all foods are made equally.
Exercise: Across the board, I’ve read that exercise is a MUST. A minimum of 30 minutes a day of an activity that brings your heart rate up. It can also be broken up into chunks throughout the day if you don’t have one 30 minute chunk of time to dedicate to YOURSELF.
Stress: Stress has a negative affect on your weight. If you eat to de-stress than you may gain weight. The opposite can also happen if you do not eat properly…dropping too much weight is unhealthy. Find healthy ways to de-stress, exercise works wonders 🙂
Sleep: Interrupted sleep and lack of enough hours of sleep can affect weight…get the why’s here: http://www.webmd.com/sleep-
Salt: Higher intake of salt causes the body to retain water. Always take a look at the ingredients and check out the sodium count.
Alcohol: Alcohol should be consumed in moderation, example a glass of wine for women and two glass for men (I think this should be the other way around but I don’t write this stuff lol) Some alcoholic beverages are HIGH in calories, which can lead to weight gain.
There are a lot of things as you can see that affect your weight, either positively or negatively. Jump start a healthy weight by eating right and exercising. Take a look at the links below, Happy Reading 🙂
Until then
