         Can someone please explain to me this thing I found. Her name is Paula abdul, She's always crying and speaking jibberish? is this normal for her. She does act somewhat normal in her on tv narroration of hey paula. Everyone else on " Hey Paula" Paula abduls TV show acts like this is normal. This is about as normal as paris Hilton and tanisha from The Bad Girls Club exchanging the words "that's Hot" towards eachother. If you don't know Tanisha just know that she would probably tell Paula " b*&^ your the number one skeet skeet B$#@! I ever knew!"

          Any who,back to paula I would love to ask one her assistants this question " what the F^%& is up ?

    with love and peace to paula

    • Diet tips for people who don't want be on a diet! 
    • eat fruits before 5 o'clock, your body has a harder time absorbing them late at night. Eating them at breakfast is your best bet for staying satisfied all day long
    • Enough meat people! if your skin, nails and hair are dry, blemished and chipping, cut steak out for awhile and hunker down on some fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential in a diet and don't contain bad fats.
    • busy busy busy! No time to prepare breakfast, lunch dinner and a snack? -keep your empty fridge that has you running to taco bell stocked of , fruits, grains and cheese. This way when your dying for something fast and cheap you can stack some crackers, cheese, and fruit on your tounge and munch down. This way your hungry belly can focus on nutrients and you can focus on something else than your scale rising.
    • Try reduced fat trisquts, Any cheese but cheddar, and strawberrys for the upper tip. I promise you can't tell the difference between the fatty trisquits and these.
    • NIGHT TIME MUNCHIES... oh no! your stomach hates you right now, your brain says god I want food but I swear I'm not even hungry. This my dear happens when you don't enough slow release sugar throught out the day. This is a hard habit to break, and you can ruin your whole hard days work of dieting on nibbling on bits of here and there foods. below are night time craving fixes
    •  +NIGHT TIME CRAVINGS OCCUR DON"T PANICK and give in, stop and grab a big glass of water ( many times your thirsty and don't even know it) A grumble in the stomach means your thirsty usually.
    • + then eat a slow release sugary food, witch means there carbs are converted to sugar throughout the day. Another name is fodd with a low glycemic index or G.I. foods. Grab vegis or fruit! it may take will power to turn down the high sugar food but trust me. PICK UP A DAMN apple and eat it slowly( wait at least 25 minutes ( time yourself) and if your still hungry try a fiber one bar. you need fiber to feeel full. ok im bored with cravings. ask for more tips if your struggling I have a million.
    • Never ever eat less than 1,200 calories a day. Ladys it is possible to eat and still lose weight. You need to hold on and wait for the pounds to come off.
    • But Zoe! I want to eat chocolate! then do. "duh" I eat chocolate everyday. Having chocolate in the house is too dangerous for me, so I hop over to walgreens and grab a balance protain bar with chocolate and inhale it as I dig around the store for make-up and magazines untill my head stops thinking " I want to jump in the chocolate river with a agustice gluegh" Also if your at the mall sneak into see's candy and they give samples have a chocolate and then grab a sheet that says you can create your box and pretend you are going to go fill it out. haha then run away and luagh.
    • keep an online food ( try Mypyramid.gov ) and it will tell you exactly what your lacking and exactly what your need to reduce in your diet. I mean everything, even vitamins minerals.
    • 1 Egg yolk is almost your whole days worth of cholesteral needed. what is up with that? lame.
    • eat a huge breakfast. try more egg whites and only one peice of toast.
    • Coffee or lattes. stop the sugar start the splenda, I like splenda with fiber, one gram every packet. Starbucks is golden if your smart. try a skinny latte and have them pump protein in it for an extra 50 cents, them throw a couple packets of splenda in it and it takes better than the real thing.
    • Working out after work, DOESNT WORK! why? because your starving at dinner unlike in the morning when it's ok to grub because you have all day to wiggle off those calories.
    • Buy some pilates videos. My favorite is pilates with the resistance band. I forced myself to do it every night and on day one I could barly make it through tape, now I have abs and can out crunch my boyfriend who plays football and works out twice a day. Haha greg!
    • The best advice I can give you that I ever recieved, Gosh why don't you just shut up and do it? That really is when I stepped back thought  " I don't know?" I know your tired, busy, don't have motivation and whatever but there is no feeling better in the world than looking in the mirror and seeing your body shrink. just don't get a big head and start eating fatty foods again this is how and when you didn't " just shut up and do it"
    • much love world, Now I must make like a chip and dip. A diet dip, peace.

    Hello ladys or very hair conserned men I have recently decided to stop buzzing around my friends about the products they use and buzz around the interenet to people who might actually care.   This is something I wrote for an assignment because damnit it's important! I will be making a skin collection for product ingredients shortly check back!

     I have cracked the code to your oh so frustrating hair and it's much more simple than you may think. Is your hair poofy, fried, frizzy or flat? You stare at the never ending aisle of bottles promising miracles and no matter what the product is, you conitue going back to buy more to solve another hair issue. Have you ever sat down to really analyze what could you be doing wrong? I am here to save you the time and effort because this is something every woman should know. The world is full of many beautiful things just waiting to be seen and so lets make your hair one of them.

    Lets all do a a little experiment shall we? Go grab your current shampoo and take a peak at the ingredients section. Really go do it now! Now that your back and concentrating so hard on those tiny words ,Do you see any of these ingredients?:

    -sodium lauryl sulfate

    -sodium laureth sulfate

    -4-dioxane 

    -PEG

    -xynol

    -ceteareth,

    -oleth

    - Mineral oil

    -DEA 

    -Diethylaminoethyl

    - Propylene Glycol 

    -fragrance. 

         These are just a few ingredients you may consider straying away from. "Why?" well lets just go over a few of the ingredients and tell you a little more on each one.

    Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - This ingredient is classified as a detergent and comely used to create a lather in products and it is the most common ingredient by manufactures because it's cheap. The word sulfate alone means salt or sulfuric. Now tell me why and how we are sudsing up or scalp with salt? SLS as it's also known by is in many other products and more than just it being a drying bubbly salt lather it has more Scientist running lab experiments than an astronauts space station. The strangest thing of all is that SLS is found in over 90% of all washing products even after being found that it's carcinogenic ( cancer causing). If your hoping your shampoo will create healthy long lustrous hair and it has SLS in it don't hold your breath, this ingredient actually impairs the hair follicles from any form of growth. SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreaser's, car-wash soaps, etc. It is very corrosive and readily attacks greasy surfaces.

    Another fun one to saturate your self with is propylene glycol. Did you know that this ingredient is also used in anti freeze, paint, latex, engine cleaners, and Laundry detergent . If thats not a reason to never to use this it in your daily routine lets see what it physically can do. A team of scientist at at a college found and published this : "Propylene Glycol can cause irritation of nasal and respiratory passages and if ingested, can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Research also shows that it alters cell membranes and causes cardiac arrest." Obviously using your shampoo won't make you die on the spot in a small amount, but I feel like we should all start a rule of thumb that anything thats considered toxic does not go on my head. Company's use Propylene Glycol to give the product " glide " , this doesn't give your hair moisture it maintains your product from drying out, not your hair.

    I started my journey after my skin continually began to have bumps on it. It seemed like the more I tried to fix it the acne got worse it. I must give everyone a huge BEWARE because what many people think is acne is in fact the furthest from it. Rosacea is a commonly misunderstood problem. I thought Rosacea was flushed, red looking skin. Not always or most of the time it begins slowly. My nose would turn bright red at times or I would get little and sometimes large acne like spots on my face. You could think of Rosacea as a lion (cells) in it's den(skin). Staying cautious and gentle around the lions den will probably keep you safe but the more you poke at it and irritate it, it begins to strike back and emerge from the den. If your products aren't working I would check into other skin conditions even if like me your dermatologist says " oh no it's acne." because after all you are the one who sees your face everyday.

    I would always suggest organic products. You don't want your hair being stripped of natural oils and being coted with synthetic ones. Mineral Oil is a good example, the name is so misleading. Minerals and oils sound safe and nourishing right? Very wrong, using this product is like taking taking plastic wrap and covering skin tightly around it. It traps the body's natural ability to sweat and for skin that can also trap in bacteria and block out oxygen witch is something the skin needs to thrive off of. Many people with ethnic hair commonly make this mistake. Ethnic hair usually needs much more nutrients than hair that is of Ethiopian descent. Placing mineral oil on ethnic hair can not only hurt it but also stop the hair of even supplying itself of good moisture that your body can produce all on it's own.

    These are just a few of the unbelievable ingredients in your products. Remember that by using any of these ingredients you may begin feeling itchy or your skin could react in ways you never thought! Like dandruff witch is actually a very rare condition in people but many commenly believe that the flakes in there hair are in fact that. Your hair shampoo or conditioner many times create this issue all on there own. Once you use a dandruff shampoo ( witch many contain harmful ingredients on there own) and the problem is cleared then you end up right back to your routine of drying and " salt" washing your head.

    I strongly suggest doing your research and finding out what could be causing common beauty issues you may think that everyone has. If you could have great skin and hair why wouldn't you? Remember everyone less is more. Bottles do lie, and when they do who has to pay? Like if you see fragrance on the back of that bottle that could be over 2,000 ingredients not mentioned. Please take some time to review what are using and like me you will be shocked that hair is long and your frustrating skin is not getting compliments.

    Yesterday was my birthday and It wasn't the most amazing wow new years in the world. I am celebrating my birthday next weekend to beat the hussle and bussle of gifts. Everyone's broke and frankly I am sick of thinking " gosh what do I tell them I want?" I have the things I need and all I want for my birthday is for someone to tell me why danielle fishell ( tapanga ) has a show that she stole from joe makell , the only difference is I don't luagh and I saw everyhting already she shows on Joe's show.

    Gosh I have so many things I want to review but I don't know where to start. Thanks Veiwpoints for the oh so un helpful ideas, I believe they are something like appliances, lawmowers and things no one cares about.  Maybe I'll just go get a job as a product tester, OOO or I could right a book ingredients that are bad for in you in products. either way I'm babbling .
