Nuggets

It was a few months ago that Burger King started a new deal on their nuggets where they would sell ten nuggets for a dollar. Being the shrewd and complex businessman I am, I decided to go out and buy 100 chicken nuggets. It was agreed upon between me and my roommate that we would finish all 100 nuggets in one sitting. Our other roommate said our mission was impossible and that I am no Tom Cruise. I said just watch us. We are unstoppable. He said that if we ate all 100 nuggets we would explode. I said no way. He said way. I said that, if Vince and I could eat all 100 nuggets, we get to rename his annoying cat. He said okay since he had no faith that what we could do was possible. Rolling up to the take-out window and ordering 100 nuggets will, in fact, make the employees quite upset. It took a while for them to prepare the nugs, but also set us up with every sauce they had. From there, we went back to our apartment. We set out all the nuggets on the table and devised a plan of attack to demolish the nuggets one by one. I started the first phase. I knew that it takes your stomach about 20 minutes before it understands that it is full, so I wolfed down around 25 nuggets in about 15 minutes before having to tap out and let Vince take over. He was able to take down about 20 nugs before doubling over.

I started back again, and again and again we weren’t never stopping in our noble quest to rename Elio the Cat. My stomach was burning, and my butt was in danger. It is not healthy or recommended to have more than three burger king nuggets and I had consumed around forty. It would have been cool to have the world record for nugget eating. The rule was that if we puked then we lose, so I took a second to do some deep breathing and my girlfriend gave me some words of encouragement. Sometimes I think this day was the reason she broke up with me and I find it understandable. When the dust settled, and the nuggets consumed, Vince and I ate around 83 nuggets before Vince had to tap out. I was borderline about throw up, so I had to stop too. We had lost. Was it all for nothing? We decided to just start calling the cat a different name anyway since the cat does not really respond to any name, so why should it matter? I now refer to the cat as Ricardo, or Rick the Dick, and it makes my roommate very angry, which gives me joy. The moral of this story is that you should never give and never surrender, even when the odds are stacked against in such a monumental way. Believing you can do something can lead to success and even if you fall short of your goal you can look back and be proud that you have attempted something very few men of valor have dared to try. Life is a ladder that goes on forever and you will never see if it ends if you do not start climbing.

Fat-free, organic, all natural, sugar-free, vegan, free range. We constantly hear about health trends, diets, and fads, and it is hard to keep up to date. No sooner have I stocked my fridge with products compliant with the latest fad than I hear about something new. It is exhausting, confusing, and not to mention expensive. To be honest, all I really want is to provide my family with a healthy lifestyle, But, truth be told it is often hard to separate fact from fiction.

Take Mulberries, for example, all the moms on the PTA are going gaga for them, it seems not a minute goes by where I don’t hear about Mulberry this or Mulberry that, or “Hey have you tried this recipe for Mulberry pie?” So I decided to investigate the matter for myself. Are they really so healthy? What are mulberries health benefits? Will they help me lose weight? So take a seat and sit tight because I am about to give you the inside scoop.

Mulberries are in fact healthy for you, these sweet fruits have been proven to improve digestion, lower cholesterol, build bone tissue, help with weight loss, boost your immune system, lower blood sugar and prevent cancer. Phew, that was a mouthful ( seriously try saying that ten times fast) and I haven’t even listed all the health benefits. Mulberries are nutritious, and packed with vitamins and nutrients such as iron, vitamin C, phosphorous, vitamin K, riboflavin, potassium, and calcium, not to mention it accounts for a significant amount of dietary fiber as well as large array of organic compounds, including phytonutrients, zeaxanthin, resveratrol, anthocyanins, lutein.

As an added bonus their sweet-tart flavor makes them a great choice for favorite desserts such as sherbert, pies, jams, jellies, tarts and even teas. Adding Mulberries to your diet helps keep you healthy and happy at the same time. I know I sound like a Mulberry maniac and maybe I am ( I cannot get enough of them) but I don't work for some super secret Mulberry fan convention ( but if you know of one please tell me, ready and willing member right here!) I am just your typical health nut who enjoys sharing my I learned with others. I truly believe that eating healthy and making the right dietary choices can have a significant impact on your life and help to remedy problems prescription medicine will never solve. You remember what coach used to say “a good defense is good offense” and this is true for your body as well.

Curly Hair

I have always loved curly hair, while my curly haired friends coveted my straight, sleek and shiny locks I was forever chasing those bouncy, volume filled curled. I longed to casually flick a curl out of my eye, looking gorgeous as I flirted with my high-school crush, but some things were meant to be fantasies, alas my curly haired dream never came true.

Determined not to give up hope I decided if the hair gods would not bless me with impeccable voluminous curls, I would have to create them for myself, you know the saying “If they build it they will come” well I have my own version, if you curl them, they will curl ( I know… it doesn’t have the same ring to it, but you get the point). I became the master of the curling iron (or curling wand to some). Every morning I would wake up, take a quick shower, dry my hair and get to work, sculpting my flat boring straight hair into wonderful, volume filled curly masterpieces, bringing joy to all those who laid eyes on it. You may think I am crazy but my curly hair was truly trans-formative and the compliments were endless. How do you get such perfect curls? can you teach me what you do? Can I touch or them? (NO!) perhaps the greatest compliment I received was from those who assumed my curls were natural rather than the product of endless hours of curling, burns, and exhaustion ( there are only so many hours in a day, if I had to choose between my curly hair and sleep, curly hair wins every time, hands down).

Okay, so you know how passionate I am about curly hair and may be wondering why I am telling you all this. I promise it is not for the ego boost. Recently I decided to cut my hair super short, it was just time for a new look and I decided that chic sexy bob you see celebrities pull off was my next hair goal. I can be a bit eccentric at times and do not always fully think things through. My

parents like to say I am a wild child and I don’t like to disappoint, so two weeks ago I decided to cut off almost all f my hair, it is was a lot of hair, I had been growing it out for years. Anyhow, in a spontaneous moment I decided I absolutely needed a make-over, I called up my favorite stylist and after a few quick snips, it was done. Only after she had cut my hair did I consider my beloved curls. I was now faced with the following dilemma “How to curl short hair” but not to fear ladies and gents there is an answer. If your interested in learning how to curl your hair check out this article by Maple Holistics.

In a nutshell, you curl it like normal, since your hair is shorter it may be easier to hold the curls. If you are a mousse/ gel user than you know the drill. For my fellow curling iron fans, it really is not so complicated, just make sure take it in sections, consider straightening the bottoms for a more relaxed finish and be extra careful to hold the hair away from your face while ironing.

Personally, I am obsessed with my short locks and want to encourage you all to forget the naysayers who believe curly and short hair cannot come together, they are a match made in heaven if you are ready to take the plunge.
