TWILIGHT ZONE

I was reasoning with some of my peoples about the fact that the whole saying "Opposites Attract" is pure and utter Bullsh*t...pardon my language, but I mean now that I'm at a stage in my life where relationships are much more deeper and have longevity rather than just being for the moment.......I personally look for similarity...whether its life style, eating habits (vegetarian), music, dreams, goals etc.....the only time I think that "dumb" saying applies is when your a naive, teenager who is attracted to the "bad boy" or "thug"....

With that being said, it made me think about some celebrity couples......celebrities definitly live in a "twilight zone", unrealistic, instant gratification type world..............lol....but before I keep rambling on peep some weird @ss couples......................


Common & Serena Willams
(apparently he denies it...)


Bow Wow & the Black girl from Pussy Cat Dolls
(Right now He maybe Jamie Foxx's ex Doliccia Bryan)


Kimora Lee & Djimon Hounsou
(they have a baby on the way)


Swizz Beats & Alcia Keys???
(who knows but apparently she broke up his marriage with Mashonda)


Li'l Wayne & Lauren London
(they are supposedly engaged)

AND THE WEIRDEST COUPLE OF THE CENTURY GOES TO.........


Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon
(We all know about this one...lol money in the bank for Nick...but a big @ss tattoo on his back saying "Mariah" maybe his price)

I'm sure we all been with someone that nobody expected you to be with.....I was with this dude that was totally the opposite of myself...not really when it came to his looks.....but just his mentality.....everytime some one heard about it...all you heard was WTF????????????????? lmao!

PEACE!
p.s. I dislike celebrity gossip....not trying to feed in to it...its just a fun post!

LIVING in LOVE!


So I've been doing alot of meditating lately......on my life...on others...reflecting on this past year or so............and I must say I've been thru some kinda Wonderful......I never invisioned the things that have been given to me in the past years......for example my Daughter....who is MY WORLD right now........but I never had plans to have children....nor did I dream of "a white picket fence" with a husband, two kids or a dog.........I wanted to travel........I wanted to contribute to the world in a big way........AFRICA has been calling.....and I still have the Fire with in me.......but plans have just been postponed for a longer amount of time due to my FIRST priority being...My little GODDESS!.......but the one half component of the new found thirst to create a foundation for her, has slowly but surely slipped away..........in simple terms meaning the person I thought I could be with forever.......has turned into the opposite outcome...........

Believe me for something I never wanted........It has been MAD HARD to get over not having it......What I know is that part of life is acceptance.... then reflecting on the outcomes.....and lastly moving forward with the jewels of the past in hand................so with that I say STAY FOCUSED ON THE POSITIVE ya'll.....I know you hear it all the time.......but the Truth lies with in self.........

HEALTH is WEALTH

Alright so the main Babylon Holiday is over...aka X'mas.....and I know how it goes when it comes to the food intake at these times...it can be really extreme...so therefore I thought I would give ya'll a remedy to get over those sugar cravings...I know I should have posted this prior to christmas...but hey it's better later than never right........so here it goes....

MULBERRY LEAF EXTRACT



Mulberry is a fast growing deciduous woody perennial plant. It has a deep root system. Mulberry Leaf is considered as a nice herb in ancient China for anti-inflammation, anti-aging and maintaining health. Mulberry leaf is rich in amino acids,vitamin C and antioxidants. Among this components, the most valuable are Rutoside and DNJ(1-Deoxynojimycin),The latest Chinese research has shown Rutoside and DNJ are effective in regulating blood fat, balancing blood pressure, reducing blood glucose, and boosting metabolism. SO they are widely used as raw materials for curing diabetes.

DNJ is proved to:
A) Inhibiting activities against a-glycosidase
B) Inhibiting activities against viruses
C) Inhibiting activities against tumor metastasis
D) Inhibiting activities against a-amylase
E) Blood sugar lowering activities
F) Free radical scavenging activities
G) Immune adjustment activities
H) Weight loss activities by preventing absorption


Alright now that I have given ya'll the scientific info....here is the MAIN aspect....It can eliminate Sugar Cravings by balancing your blood sugar....I personally bought the pill format which cost A LOT...you get 60 pills for $30 (which sucks I know) I had to cuz I get some sugar cravings sometimes that I'm just not trying to have so I just felt the need to cop it.......but I'm sure you can find the raw format in an herbal medicine store...so do your own research and try it out!



RAW FORMAT
(You gotta have a GOOD Juicer for this!)


PILL FORMAT
(this is the one you will get at a GNC store for $30 a pop)

BEAM Me Up SCOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aiiigght TREKKIES this ones for you.....The new STAR TREK MOVIE is poppin' off in May '09..
I got the Trailer for ya'll....

True, I probably wouldn't have watched the series back in the day if it wasn't for my Pops...who watched it on a daily and kept telling me it's better than I think...and as I grew older & started to Open my Eye & understand the hidden messages of Hollywood's creations, I started to Overstand what my Pops was talking about.....

Your gonna have to get used to a new cast...espacially "Harold" from the Harold & Kumar Stoner Movies....playing "Sulu"...which is sort of weird...hopefully he pulls it off.....but the trailer seems decent.....I'd watch it same way!!!

Simplicity is Key!



So I've been having many conversations with different people about fashion these days....and when I started to evaluate what my own definition of style is...I could only think of one word to explain it....SIMPLICITY! I mean there are times to do the GhettO FaB look...or even over accessorizing, if you feel the lime light....but in all honestly I feel that now that I'm in my mid twenties I tend to lean towards more CLASSIC pieces. Don't get me wrong I LOVE getting it for cheap....but when I say Classic...I mean the garment has to be well made in order for you to rock it from your 20's all the way up 'till your grandma days..lol..you may have to pay a hefty price for the quality.....and believe me I don't do it all the time.....but things such as CARDIGANS (my favourite!)..a good, detailed Black, LEATHER JACKET....the simple BLACK DRESS...are just some staple peices I believe every woman should have in there collection!

My featured item for this week is the FRINGE MESSENGER/CLUTCH...It's a bohemian style leather clutch that has just the right shine to it....this particular purse is by SUSAN FARBER...she's dope but expensive...this retails at $260 a peice....But I LOVE It and right now I am addicted to buying messenger purses, clutches etc. I just love the fact that I can throw it on over my shoulder...I know this particular peice maybe too bold for some of ya'll.....but like I said before think SIMPLICITY....throw it on over a plain black dress when your going to the club.....it's a staple peice so it doesn't need a lot of fuss! Fringe is something to watch for spring '09...but what I love about fringe it is TIMELESS!




Food for Thought!



I must credit My Mothers friend for sparkin' something within me to discover the essence of this creation by the Divine Mother Father God.....the CHIA SEED (Salvia Hispanica)...it is a seed that originates from South America and goes back as far as 3000 B.C. and has been a staple in daily nutrition in Pre-Columbian societies. Chia Seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids known, not to mention loads of antioxidants, Vitamin C, B, dietary fibre and much more. It’s a member of the mint family, originating in South/Central America and had been a staple food of the Aztecs for centuries. These seeds grow naturally in two colours, black and white and you can consume it raw!

I must say I only started eating these seeds recently and I feel different already...Stronger for sure and just knowing with in the mind that I'm consuming something that is Rich for my health is Peace! It also helps you feel full if you are trying to loose weight and not eat as much. There is no particular taste to it and you can just add it to whatever you eat! I take the recommended dose of 2 table spoons a day...which by the way for my fellow Vegetarians & Vegans...we need something like this in our lives! It is full of calcium! By the way you can cop it at any Health food store or your local Bulk Barn...(damn the Chia ppl should pay me for this add...lol) But don't just take my word for it....research about this seed for yourself.....Health is Strength! It will Change your Life for the Better!

Reflection Eternal....



Let me start off by saying this has long been over due...espacially for those that know me...most of ya'll know I'm like google..lol..an abundance of information! Far from meaningless....I will be posting on HEALTH, NUTRITION, MUSIC, LOVE/RELATIONSHIPS, FASHION, BOOKS etc...Just different things I come across that will be beneficial in anyones life......I hope to ENLIGHTEN people while shedding the TRUTH...that is not in the public eye! But don't get it twisted...my blogs focus is not just on "conscious" things....Everybody gotta laugh and take it easy sometimes, so there will be a general mix of anything & everything...and most importantly you will get to know Me...MALAIKA...aka AnitaH SparkZ!!!
