Merry Christmas!!

Congrats to Evelyn Lozada on finding love with Carl Crawford! He's a Leo and she's a Sag so this should be a great match! We already know she's a crazy one so of course I had to look up this man's sign. But what's the deal with celebrities getting engaged after announcing a pregnancy?

Personally, I think it's a little cliche to get engaged on a holiday. So I hope my man doesn't EVER decide to do that. I rather it be done on a completely random day. But anyway, Merry Christmas!!!

Sit down, Bey

I finally decided to listen to Beyonce's new album even though I am not her biggest fan. However, I respect her as an entertainer because she knows how to give a great performance.

With that being said, her newest album titled, "Beyonce" is very different from her previous albums. I'm curious to know what inspired the change. I actually have a few favorites: Drunk in Love, Mine, Partition, and Haunted. I've only listened to the whole album twice so give me some time to develop more favorites. 

These videos though are another story. I think everyone should check them out for themselves lol. 

But kudos to you, Bey, and no I'm not going to bow down to you. I can't blame Beyonce for having a big ego though, her fans refer to her as "Queen Bee."

Khloe and Lamar heading for divorce

I'd like for everyone to take a moment of silence for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom. I am extremely sad about her recent decision to file for divorce. However, a woman can only take so much hurt, pain, and embarrassment. Lamar's cheating rap was the final straw. Hopefully, she's just being a Cancer and doing this to scare him. I was glad to hear that Khloe isn't requesting spousal support. This proves that she was never in it for the money.

Instagram messaging?

"The thirst on Instagram is about to get real," said my brother.

Apparently the newest Instagram update allows users to message each other. This is going to be a mess for various reasons lol. Not all people are bold enough to come at someone by commenting on their picture. So this "Instagram direct" opens a WHOLE new window  of communication lol. 

LW

If it wasn't my friend's birthday today, I would probably still be in bed. The cold weather just makes me want to sleep forever. But I wanted to make sure I texted him first thing in the morning to show that I remembered his birthday. No need for me to mention his name because he probably won't even see this post. But shoutout to YOU because you deserve to have a great day. 

I don't drink vodka anymore (too many bad experiences with Pinnacle) but this used to be his favorite liquor. It probably still is. Anyone else a fan of vodka?

As a Pisces, I'm not compatible with Sagittariuses AT ALL. Yet, I have two in my life who mean a lot to me---one male, one female. Interesting right?  

Kendall Jenner almost legal

Kendall Jenner, being the Scorpio that she is, must be enjoying all this new-found attention ever since her 18th birthday. She wasted no time in posting a picture in a see-through top. And I say she's almost legal because 21 is when you're really legal.

But anyway, I recently read that she's dating Harry Styles from One Direction. He's an Aquarius, which is a Scorpio's worst match. I'm not saying that it can't work...because it may. But it will definitely be a challenge.

Yes I am into astrology but no I do not live my life by it. I just find it interesting. My parents are not compatible in any way, shape, or form, Yet they just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

Cheat Days

Let's not forget the importance of cheat days when you're on a weight loss plan. I once read that cheat days are necessary in order to prevent overindulging. I actually just baked some chocolate chip cookies and have no problem eating them lol. The weekends are actually my only days off from working out. Unless I skip a day during the week, I typically do not work out on Saturday and Sunday. Those are my rest days. Even though I tend to still be busy with work and other things.

Fitness, stumbleupon, and Christmas

So I've recently stepped up my gym workout because I wasn't seeing any progress. I've increased both my cardio and ab workouts. And yes, now I'm seeing progress. 

Are you all familiar with stumbleupon? If not, you should definitely take a look at their website (and their app). You can filter your interests which make for an even better browsing experience. I mentioned it because I've discovered so many different workouts on there along with motivational tips.

Recently, a close friend confided in me about her weight gain and asked about my specific workout. I immediately suggested that she take a look at stumbleupon. When it comes to working out, it's important that you do it because YOU want to, and not because family and friends are expressing their unasked for opinions about your weight. Everyone is capable of working out. It's all about finding the perfect workout for you. For example, my mother enjoys taking classes such as zumba and kettlebell while my brother will go to the gym and do a number of different workouts. 

Everyone tends to pack on some extra pounds during the holidays. On a side note, Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday and I'm just loving all this holiday music on the radio.
