Is Butter A Carb?

Regina George Is Butter A Carb Mean Girls

Diets are equivalent to dying. I’m serious. Starting out your diet you realize that as a human being your whole effing life is surrounded by food. Your family eats food, your friends eat food, that damn beta fish my sister keeps in a corner eats food.

My life is now equal to (or greater than) Regina George minus the Kalteen bars and only eating foods with less then 30 percent of calories from fat. It’s more like my day consist of 1200 calories so no dividing 48 over 120 equaling X over 100 and then cross multiplying to get the value of X because if that was the case I would be standing behind Regina waiting in line for those effing cheese fries not giving a fuck.

Instead I’m sticking with 1200 calories a day, my secret lover the Stairmaster and maybe a ridiculous Tae Bo class every once in a while to really kick my ass. And yes people this shit is actually working. EIGHT pounds down and 12 more to go.

Yeah I will say that it was an effing bitch to start but once you get in the habit you realize fuck you cheeseburger I want an awesome body not more hips that don’t lie!

Conclusion? Whatever, I’m not getting cheese fries.

Oh & in other news Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown were shooting a music video in DTLA today and literally stopped traffic for this group of fools so naturally I had to Instagram that shit.

Newspaper Nail Polish DIY Easy Simple

Because I think Tuesday is the stupidest day of the week and the most awkward as well, I decided to be a little DIY in my room. I actually painted my nails, AND I NEVER paint my nails (I am mentally-polish-challenged) but when I saw HelloGiggles nails of the day this special needs girl got all gitty inside.

It’s super simple and any mentally-polish-challenged girl can do it. Here’s the tutorial I watched and loved because its short and to the point!

Press Brokechella for Gossip Material

Last night I attended Brokechella in DTLA. So no I didn’t get to meet Katy Perry or see some dead dude come back to life but I also didn’t pay $300+ or have to party in a desert to have an awesome fucking time. Music, art, face paint, food, drinks and free stuff, in definition it’s the same thing minus the credit card debt and branded names but honestly idgaf Brokechella is better then Nochella so just add some Jarritos into the mix and you got yourself a kickass party. Next year? Hell yes I’m going. #livinthebrokedream

Hair Chalking Is The Best Thing Since Toaster Strudel

April 15, 2012 by Crystal Melendez

hair Chalking Dark Hair

What is hair chalking you ask? Well I’m so glad you did! Hair chalking is the best thing since Gretchen Weiner’s dad invented Toaster Strudel, seriously. For one going cray cray on your hair with obnoxious colors has been in for almost a year now. Unfortunately with me being not blonde and very Mexican, this causes me to have this color called “dark brown” aka “I wish I had blonde hair” because it would probably make my life less complicated when it comes to putting purple in it.

But fear no more my fellow dark headed women for hair chalking is here! Which includes no bleaching of the head. All you need is…

1) Your hair

2) Chalk (like the $5 stuff you get at Michaels not the stuff you get at Toy’s R Us)

3) Water

4) Gloves

5) And maybe a clip, depending on where you want to put your colors.

Before I got started I decided to take a look at some tutorials on YouTube, where this chica helped me out (CLICK HERE) with getting started. I tried out her version of hair chalking on my friend and unfortunately none of the chalk stayed in. So I tweaked the formula of hair chalking a little and this is what I came up with…

Step 1: Instead of wetting your hair, you can keep your hair dry and LIGHTLY wet the piece of chalk.

Step 2: Grab a piece of your hair and twist it.

Step 3: Rub the chalk onto the twisted piece of hair, making sure the color gets everywhere on the strain, but don’t rub the chalk up and down because that will make your hair tangle.

Step 4: If your hair gets wet: blow dry or air dry whichever you prefer.

Step 5:  Curl each piece of hair you’ve chalked in order to set the color in and help it last longer.

WARNING: It’s super fun but super messy so make sure if you decide to do this in your room be prepared for a mess because the chalk gets everywhere.

Heres an example of the after mess on my floor.

But don’t think hair chalking is just for humans! You can get your pet into the fun, just don’t tell PETA.
