Advice Of The Week


Good Afternoon Meanies,

Go shopping and treat yourself to new clothes and even a whole new look. Get your image right, one that you can manage and live with, but one that flatters you. Don't try to be someone you’re not, but amplify and accentuate your positives. Throw out those tired jeans, old sweaters or cardigans and spruce yourself up. Your date will appreciate that you demonstrated some effort.

Welcome Home !!!!!!!!



Hey Meanies,

Last week Wednesday I bought a new family member that I have been dying to get months ago. He's finally here ! Meet Oggy my first son/betta :-). I love this betta & I only have had him for 5 days. This would be my first time taking care of a fish by myself.

Growing up I had various pets : rabbits, bearded lizard, snake, parakeets, and fish. Yes I have a great love for animals, I probably prefer them over humans...lol. So I think Oggy is spoiled already acting like a prince. I created such a beautiful palace for him & it seems he like his studio apartment (the container he came) a lil bit too much. He has been in this container for 5 days, next week I will be putting him in his tank. Oggy will have a nice & toasty new life. I had to get a tank heater because my house is ummm how can I say this, always a couple degrees colder than outside. If I'm cold he has to be cold as well. I just got him , I'm not trying to kill him. Even though I'm paranoid.

Almost every couple mins , I'm checking on him....lol. I'm excited but also nervous because Oggy is already a picky eater. Bettas can go a whole week without food. But he needs to eat, right ? I just hope he's not stubborn and starves himself to death. Hopefully Oggy can live for at least 3 yrs :-) I'm also thinking if I should give him some friends to play with. Hmmm we'll see if he gets use to his new home first.

Also, Oggy is not too fond of his store bought fish food (flakes or pellets). But he sure would inhale fresh salmon........

Ghetto Fab Wig


Good day Meanies,

Two weeks ago I read an article on CurlyNikki.com about Kohls having a Halloween wig called "Ghetto Fab". I'm sure you have guessed that the natural hair community has been raising hell about it. I'm not super mad but I am concerned about a wig being called "Ghetto Fab" because it's a curly Afro. Why the wig couldn't be named "Curly Afro" why use the word "ghetto". I'm not offended I just wonder why the manufacturers would pick the word "ghetto". I'm sure other ppl are thinking that the company is saying every person with a curly Afro is ghetto. I don't like blowing things out of proportion but I have to wonder about this decision to name the wig "ghetto fab". Also there were so many complaints that the wig is no longer available at kohls.com.

Four Loko On Deck ?


Hola Meanies,

So last night round 10pm I decided to try Four Loco. If you haven't heard of it, I suggest that you should do some research. The first time I heard of it is from
my best friend. I'm not going to lie the stuff I was hearing had me very interested. I did know that it was a malt drink.

My best friend said that a few ppl she know said its "dangerous". I'm thinking damn a malt beverage that can make you act a fool..hmmm. But I also thought damn what kind of shit is this. Like I said I'm interested but I instantly thought I'm sure the liquor store across the street from me probably won't have it.

Today my mom sent me to get her power ball tickets. I thought I want a bottle of Moscato, I haven't drank in my house since forever. While I'm getting my wine, I see a colorful ass can in the refrigerator section wondering what kind of drink is this. I'm not going to lie first glance It look like an energy drink. Then I started to read the can & it's malt liquor/energy drink. There are two different cans but I can't remember what's the name of the malt beverage my bestsie was talking about. I didn't feel
like calling her waking her up out of her sleep to find out what's the name. When I reached back home I told her about the drinks I saw & she told me the name "Four Loko". I could only remember one of the drinks being "Joose or Loose".

So about an hour later I needed to go back outside to Rite Aid. I thought why not go to the liquor store to see if they have it. Low & behold they had "Four Loko". Two
flavors Loko UVA & Blue Raspberry. I bought 3 Blue Raspberry & 1 Loko UVA. I tried it around 10pm, and it taste like beer mixed with liquor. The Four Loko is a 23.5 fl oz with 12.0% alcohol. Now to me, that's an crazy amount of alcohol to be in a malt beverage. My bestsie didn't like it at all. She said it tasted like Robotussin...lol. My Loko UVA was not that bad. But I can say you will be a lil winded in about 15-20 mins depending on your body weight. I wouldn't consider it dangerous unless you are chugging 6 cans straight through with no break. I wouldn't recommend doing that either because it has caffeine, taurine, and guarana with alcohol. Now the first three ingredients actually does not affect me, I have tried energy drinks with all 3 and I feel normal.

We all know some ppl get really wired up of these ingredients. They can get your heart racing & your basically panting to control your breathing. What's the aftermath of drinking Four Loko ? For me I was definitely a lil buzzed, heart rate went up a lil bit and was feeling nauseous until I went to sleep and even when I woke up. I was going to the bathroom all friggin night and I didn't eat properly all day because YES I was still feeling nauseous. My bestise didn't even finish her can because she felt her heart racing a lil bit and she stopped. Would I try it AGAIN ? I don't know the jury is still out on that one. All I have to say is give it a try :-D

I still have 2 cans left :-( lol
