Choco-diet

Hence there be another reason that chocolate is a girl's best friend.
I have never been a real chocoholic, but like any other woman, there was just that time that I craved a chocolate snack. Today you hear rumors of how chocolate is acutually good for you, and the darker the better.
I took advantage of that fact, plus the fact that I don't go absolutely crazy over chocolate, and I used it for my dietary advantage. I would suggest anyone to go pick up a box of Hersey's Sticks. Get your favorite flavor of dark chocolate and each stick is only 60 calories. I take one when I want dessert after a meal and I take one when I'm getting hungry for supper and Chris can't get home from work soon enough, plus I take one for a snack at night when I would normally indulge in a snack that is far over 200 calories.
Amazingly, this little piece of chocolate gets my mind off of the munchies!

"Jesus Loves Me" True Third Verse

The third verse to "Jesus Loves Me" never made sense to me when it says, "if I love Him when I die, He will take me home on high." So when I created my own tune of the song, I took the liberty to modify the last verse as well:

Jesus loves me, loves me still.
I'm saved to freely do His Will.
He will keep me 'til I die,
Then He'll take me home on high.

Baking Soda Beauty

I'm not your grandmother, so don't get on my back about being old-fashioned. I'm being resourceful. It's a time when we have to cut back on spending our money on expensive beauty products. I got something cheaper than Neutragena, Avon, even Clean and Clear--baking soda. I got this tip from, guess who...Queen Latifa. I was reading an article about her in the Reader's Digest and someone asked her how she kept a great complexion. If I remember right, she said it was her mother that got her using baking soda.
I tried it, and it really works...you can feel it working. Just put a bit in your palm, maybe a half teaspoon, and add enough water so it makes a paste. I normally dampen my face first before applying the paste to your face. It's best to patt it on (all over) instead of rubbing or scrubbing it on, especially if you have sensitive skin. Then simply splash on some lukewarm water and pat your face dry.
This method just made sense...and it's crazy how cheap it is: baking soda and water. It's great for anybody...the frugal person, the all-natural person, the clean freaks, and those that just have to look incredible or they simply can't show their face in public.
Best part is, the results are so naturally beautiful that people think you're just born with a great complexion.

Blog Tester

I'm not sure what this blog is mainly going to be for, but for right now it's merely a tool for a little leverage. I've submitted myself to a couple sites to find where I can sing and also for online jobs.
Hopefully, I'll be able to advertise this blog for others to view for a better profile.
I might need some pointers by you other bloggers on how to pimp up my page and how to advertise on other sites.
Thanks. Happy blogging!
