MY FAVORITE 4 HEALTHY SNACKS

I know you've all missed me. I've been on a health kick and figured I'd share my favorite healthy snacks!


1) FIRST and favorite is vanilla yogurt, lightly salted almonds and bananas all mixed up! This is a great snack for anytime, the morning, afternoon or before bed. 
   -Almonds prevent cancer, reduce heart attack risks and lower cholesterol!
  -Vanilla yogurt is fat free and deliciously tasty. The live bacteria in yogurt help in digestion and protect you against other harmful bacteria. It also has potassium and calcium
   -Bananas obviously have potassium 

2) Another favorite of mine is chocolate graham crackers with frozen light cool whip in-between. This is like a low-fat devil dog, and delicious!

3) Hummus and pretzals! Roasted red pepper hummus is so tasty!
 "The healthy fat and low levels of saturated fat makes hummus a good choice for snacking or as a side dish. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help keep your brain healthy, provide nourishment to your cells and help in keeping your heart healthy. The fiber from the chickpeas helps you stay full, as well as aids in your digestion. You need between 45 to 65 percent of your calories, or 203 to 293 g from carbohydrates, if you follow an 1,800 calorie diet. The 3 g of carbohydrates per tablespoon of hummus is in the form of healthy complex carbohydrates. "Hummus has no sugar and relatively little sodium, which helps you keep your diet on track."

4) Sliced apples with pumpkin fruit dip. This delicious, fall, dip includes canned pumpkins, light cool whip, and fat free chibani yogurt.

    -Apples contain a great source of several micro-nutrients, vitamins and moisture. They provide fiber and pectin, both which help keep our bodies running efficiently and in good health.  Eating apples can help you feel full and contribute to your weight loss goals.

There you have it! Snack on foods that fill you up and make you feel good about it!

THE VMAS RED CARPET - DISASTER OR DIVA?

So I'm sure mostly everyone tuned in to this year's Video Music Awards on MTV and I'm sure mostly everyone has an opinion on celebs' choices of wardrobes. I KNOW I DO! Let's label them disaster or diva... feel free to add in any comments at the bottom and take the poll on who looked the best!!

 Definite Diva! Classy but wild and very unique. The dress fits her great and accentuates her body and black hair... however, BLACK SHOES NEXT TIME, GIRLFRIEND!

 Taylor Lautner is looking fine, fine, fine in his slightly revealing white T and black blazer. Great style, I dig it. I don't want to call him a diva...but DIVA.

 Beyonce is looking absolutely stunning, as always, holding her new child-to-be (it's about time JayZ). She's not showing too much yet, so this classy, beautiful dress looks amazing on her.. ALWAYS A DIVA.

 Tyler the Creator is a disaster in his tie-dye pussycat shirt? Really? DISASTER.. you're funny, but your clothes shouldn't be the funny part. That's just embarrassing.

 SURPRISINGLY, my girl Snookie looks amazing in her elegant cocktail dress. The colors are subtle and deep and contrast with her tan skin and dark hair excellently. The girl does look good.... DIVA, except for your trashy blonde hair underneath.. okaayyyy.

 Well, as displayed on the show, Deena is definitely FOR GAY PRIDE, and apparently really wanted everyone to know it. It hurts to look at... disaster...just like her whole life.

 NeYo is looking hotter and fresher than ever in this outfit. Gold is hot and looks sexy on him. I LOVE the fedora...He wins.

 J Wow's looking a little too revealing.. as always. Like we get it, you got a boob job.  And a face job because you look like a whole new person magically over a few months? You're a diva and all, but YOU FAKE!

 My girl Zoe Saldana looks extremely sexy and stylish in her LBD (little black dress for all you clueless people out there)and shoes that make her legs look amazing. The gold bits bring out her skin tone and I just love her.. definite Diva...when's Avatar Two coming out?

 As for Selena Gomez, I know a lot of people are big fans, but I just don't see it! Her head is too big for her little body, and this "dress" looks like a spider girl, black widow, costume. I don't know, I'm not a fan. People were at the VMA's to party not mourn... but hey that's just me. And your interview with Beebz was extremely awkward. I felt weird watching you. Not a diva.

 All I wanted to say to JoJo was, " WHO ARE YOU?" You sang like one song 8 years ago; how are you at the VMAS? REALLY? I guess you look good, and 30 pounds bigger than you used to be when you were good. 

 Dis-as-ter: noun-  a sudden or great misfortune or failure 

 Britney Spears, give it up already... you're almost on JoJo's level. You're a mother, just stop.

I guess Justin Beiber looked okay. He doesn't look smarter with the glasses on, if that's what he was going for, but I always did want red pants and leopard shoes... however I'm a girl... Diva....?

Adele looks stunning in her BBD also! Such a cutie and an amazing performer. DIVA FO SHO! 

 Although I am a huge Katy Perry fan, what's with the pink hair? I dig all her crazy outfits but cmon... keep it black. And what are we in Japan? I DONT THINK IT'S RAINING IN THERE?

 Nikki Minaj. WHERE TO BEGIN. A F*&^%*% DISASTER AT ITS BEST. She must be in such dire need for attention, I feel so so bad. So much money and no one to dress you? Give me a break. What's with the face mask? DO YOU HAVE THE BIRD FLU? She looks like an special tin man, with rainbow sausage on her head and a stuffed animal from the Salvation Army. Hellen Keller could be a better stylist.

 I guess Miley doesn't look that bad, but c'mon, you're rich! You can pick anything you want, and you pick that? It doesn't even accentuate her body well at all, but I guess it's not a complete disaster. #DontlistentoBillyRay

 Sexiest. Man. Alive. Ugh.

 Yes, Seth Rogan, you WERE only funny when you were fat. Now you're like everyone else. Way to blow your career to be "healthy".

 Katie Holmes looks cute and stylish in her adorable little dress and bootie heels! I love it- very Urban Outfitters and young looking. She did good. Maybe Nikki Minaj should look into hiring her stylist...DIVA

KEVIN HEART, funniest man alive, looks fresh as hell in his leather jacket, white tee and sneaks. Casual but classy and fresh. No other way to say it.

 All my Shore boys looked good that night I got to admit. Divasssssss RVP?? Where was the Situation? The hospital? Oh...

 Lady Gaga: DON'T FIGHT IT, YOU ARE A WOMAN! ACCEPT IT! IT'S OKAY! We know you look like a man but you have money to undergo many surgeries so don't give in now! Disastrous. 

 She got cheese on her head but don't call her a cheese head? #NOTFASHION

THE KEY TO BACK TO SCHOOL STYLE- CUTE BUT COMFY!

The two C's are the most important to remember when packing for school! Nothings worse than a hot mess. The key is to stay cool, while still looking fashionable. Now, you may be wondering, “how do I do this?” The answers are in...

1. Flowy Dresses!

Tight dresses in the heat can be a wreck- all sticky and riding up on you! No no! Think flowy- as long as they are still cute, short and fashionable. Flowy dresses are a great way to stay cool and breezy in the heat, and continue to look GOOD on campus.

2.  BACKPACKS!

Nothing is worse than a huge bag breaking your shoulder and carrying you down as you walk through campus. No one wants to be hot and bothered and shoulder bags tend to do this. Face it- they are heavy and annoying. So, try a fashionable and comfy backpack! Feeling free and adorable!

3.  IN YOUR FASHIONABLE BACKPACK, ALWAYS KEEP A CARDIGAN!

You all know how it could be freezing in your classroom! So, to be comfortable and still look cute, carry one of these little cardigans around at all times! All from Forever 21...

4. STICK WITH FLIP FLOPS OR BOAT SHOES!

We all know sandals, especially these days, can be absolutely adorable. However, in the heat, walking long distances to classes, sometimes sandals can turn into a disaster. Making your feet sweat and giving your heels and toes blisters is not fun! SO, stick with your ordinary flip flops or even boat shoes! Boat shoes dress up any outfit and make it cute but cas.

Payless!

 Sperrys!

5. STUDS!

Dangling earrings are my absolute favorite, but when walking around and in class all day, go with studs! They don't weigh you down or distract you and they don't hurt. They are perfect for back to school style- cute, colorful and fun! Forever 21 has a million to chose from!
