I CAN DO IT....MOTIVATION!

I was catching up on my blog commenting this morning & came across this AWESOME challenge on Miss.Fortune's blog...I REALLY got excited, and I THINK it's only fit that I start AFTER feeding my face for all of the Mother's Day celebrations:

SLIM FINE SUMMER BODY ON THE WAY!

So, I KNOW that looks good to ya....I'm drooling WHILE I post!

Check out my LOVE for food, and YES I call myself a FOODIE now...

"Sweet Ass Piece of Pie"

DFW Blogger MeetUp...my 1st event!!!

I started the year off right, as far as MizzScoop is concerned...I went to my FIRST blogger event, DFW Bloggers MeetUp!  Beautiful ladies, doing beautiful things with their blogs, it was a BLAST!!!

We WERE going to dine at La Duni, BUT they wanted to act a little funny with us...

NO PROBLEM THOUGH!

We POLITELY took our business, money, & HUGE appetites to 

Lombardi's Cibus

it was JUST as nice, and the atmosphere & decor I LOVED...our waiter Don was AWESOME too!

Brunch specialty...BOTTOMLESS bellinis AND mimosas.  I WENT with the bellinis and they were SO GOOD.  Not to sound like a lush or anything, but girl talk along with food..I didn't even NOTICE that I enjoyed a good 3 of them LoL!

a HUGE thanks to our LOVELY hostess, Ms. Kileen of Cute & Little

she did a wonderful job of putting together such a great Saturday event

Ms. Ivonna shared her french toast...the berry compote & hot syrup were DELISH on top!

I'm trying to bring out the "foodie" in my, so I stepped WAY outside of my box & went with the 

Cibus Benedict, which was:

Two Poached Eggs on a Grilled Polenta cake / Lump Crabmeat Topped with a Creamy Parmesan Sauce Served with Sautéed Spinach / Roasted Potatoes...I added mushrooms, LOVE THEM!

....on such a BEAUTIFUL afternoon, the sun was just a shining!!! 

and now, off to the Dior makeover part of the day...they had the tables all set up for us, demonstrations ready, SO many products for pretty much ANY and everything, and EVEN the red carpet...it was REALLY nice!

not only did we get a FREE makeover, got to play with everything, experiment a little here, and a little there, we ALL got a $25 gift card, which OF COURSE was the BEST PART of the day...RIGHT LADIES?! : )

So what did I GET?!

Dior DiorShow Mascara in Black...and I LOVE IT, I mean mascara is a MUST in my make-up bag...

keeps the eyes poppin' ALL day, EVERY day!!!

OVERALL, as you can see, the DFW Blogger MeetUp was GREATNESS...I met some LOVELY ladies, ate some GOOD food, and laughed & smiled the WHOLE time...

GIRLY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED : )

VISIT ALL THE LOVELY LADIES SITES....YOU MUST....GO HERE!!!

I'M ON TUMBLR!!!!

You GOTTA Love Twitter

So, I was over at my girl E.'s site, The Faded, y'all MUST check her out, she is a trip....oh, AND follow her on Twitter @atribecallede, and she had a few things to say about why she hates Twitter, and MAN did she hit the nail on the head, because a few of them, I see EVERYDAY....and it's SO TRUE!

• RISE & GRIND...LET'S GET TO THIS MONEY" (Half of the people tweeting this have no job, or money... #sitdown) 
• people using the pound sign in every word in their tweet, such as, #I'm #getting #money. (Come on is it that serious for all of them pound signs , no, #clockout ) ...I KNOW WE ALL HAVE THAT ONE FOLLOWER THAT DOES THIS ON DAMN NEAR EVERY TWEET....LIKE WHAT'S THE POINT?!
• "Hey can you listen to my mixtape *insert link here* - Hell, no . Go back to MySpace with kiddies .AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MYSPACE IS FOR!...I MEAN, HONESTLY, I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOL *SHRUGS* SORRY
• Tweet : "I'm in the club... popping bottles ... (via web)-- LIARS! ... THIS ONE IS HILARIOUS! I GUESS SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU TWEET, TWITTER WILL STATE HOW YOU TWEETED, YA BIG DUMMIES LOL!
• People that constantly tell you what they are doing, like really... hasn't anyone told you that telling too much of your business can mess your plans up. There are some envious people on Twitter and by you telling them your next move or business plan you are giving them a one up. Stop, Keep some things to yourself!  THEY WILL USE YOUR EVERY WORD AGAINST YOU IF THEY ARE THAT DIRTY OF A PERSON, TRUST!
• People that claim to be such socialites. They are always name dropping and telling something in their tweets. Go sit down, no one cares about your celebrity friends. THIS IS PROBABLY IN MY TOP 3 OF WHAT I CAN'T STAND ABOUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE I FOLLOW!  STOP TELLING US WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHO YOU'RE WITH ALL THE TIME!  IT DOESN'T BENEFIT US, SO WE DON'T CARE BOO
• Sub Tweets . They have become a new form of saying something about someone but don't necessarily have the balls to actually "@" them. Yeah, COWARDS. NOW THIS ONE HERE, I AM SO GUILTY OF...I LOVE TO KEEP PEOPLE'S MINDS WONDERING, AND IT WORKS TOO! "CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT" : )

Now....here are a few of MINE, things that I pretty much think about EVERY day when I'm Tweeting:

• Do NOT ask people to Follow you JUST BECAUSE you're following them...you followed them by choice, SOOOO they will follow you when and IF they want to.  It almost reminds me of a thirsty dude, that just WON'T give up!
• People who Tweet food ALL day, EVERY day....like, WHY did you Twit Pic a Wendy's 5-piece nugget? LMAO
• When someone replies to you from something you said to them like an hour or so ago, and they come back with, "Whatchu talkin' about girl?"....all because they don't check the conversation trail, UgH! At that point the moment is over, and I'm like, "Nevermind.." LoL
• when people in relationships on Twitter, one of the significant others, usually the woman, has to make sure that their man mentions them, and things that they do, on Twitter, to "validate" their love for each other...GET THE FUKK OUTTA HERE!

"Eat, Pray, Love" JUST BEAUTIFUL!

I was over at Ms. Lily's spot this morning, BLEED FOR FASHION, and she had one of the most beautiful, honest, & true posts about your "SOUL MATE"...it truly did touch me, i LOVED IT!

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it." - Eat, Pray, Love, p. 149

I can't WAIT to see that movie...i LOVE Julia Roberts, and the movie looks SO uplifting and joyous and fun!

TRUE love, TRUE words

so, OF COURSE, my girl Ms. Stephanie (@McStephanton) over at Steevie's Inner Sanctum has amazed me ONCE AGAIN!  This morning she was on her s**t with the "love thing", I mean it was almost like she was in my head, speaking & talking what I was thinking, it was CRAZY!  The TT (Trending Topic) was #youknowitslovewhen & every last one of them hit me HARD....if you all haven't noticed from some of my past posts, I'M IN LOVE, so they REALLY hit home...

"The more you hear about their flaws, the deeper in love you fall."


"You can spend hours on the phone with them in silence and be totally comfortable with it." THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME


"You're giving someone the ability to destroy your heart... but trusting them not to." ALL MY TRUST


"the mere thought of them will just have you in tears because you feel like the luckiest woman in the world." HE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW WONDERFUL OF A MAN HE IS


"You have an argument and tell your girls, but if they cuss him out, you'll tell them to STFU and leave him alone." LOL...TRUE


"You're willing to do anything for them, regardless of cost, time or energy."


"The sound of them sleeping is more beautiful than any orchestra" EVEN W/ HIS SNORING lol


You're willing to sacrifice sleep all night just to stay up and talk to them." IT'S CRAZY...

can any of y'all relate?

she's tellin' the truth

My girl Nicole A.K.A. @Nikkyface over at TASTELESS DIAMONDS had some "encouraging" words...

"No point in sittin' at the table when he's bringin' nothin' to it."

PREACH!

Shoegasm: SPLURGE vs. STEAL, Spring Edition

With the Spring fast approaching and so many shoes to choose, how’s a girl to know whether to splurge or save? No worries! NYC's trendy shoe store Shoegasm is here to the rescue with a few options on how to save without compromising style! Here are a couple of options in this special “Splurge vs. Steal” guest post to show you how to get the same designer styles for a lot less!

For the first Splurge vs. Steal we’ll toss a pair of Gil Torres boots and a pair of Frye boots into the ring!

  

On the left, is the Frye "Carson" Leather Pull-On Boot and on the right is the Gil Torres “6125” boot in tan. The Frye boot will run you $348, but the Gil Torres is only $189.90, available at Shoegasm!

  

Next up, we have the Jack Rogers Navajo Riviera Society Sandal and the Chelsea Crew Style H7384. These two look pretty similar, right? So which is the splurge and which is the steal?

The Jack Rogers sandal is on the left at $105, while the Chelsea Crew sandal on the right is only $59.95, available at Shoegasm! (Also available in turquoise)

  

Last but not least, are those white-hot heels that we ladies are always trying to sport in those precious few months before Labor Day! Here we have a pair of Stuart Weitzman Lattice sandals and a pair of Oh Deer! “Duomo” sandals.  Both sandals are strappy, stylish and have mega-high heels. So which is the splurge and which is the steal?

The Stuart Weitzman heels ring in at $335 and the Oh Deer! “Duomo” heels, available at Shoegasm, are only $109.95!

Green Tea Diet...I'mma Try It

It's 2010, and I need to get my workout/eating/health regimen in order, and I mean FAST! Not only because it's a New Year, and I want a New Me, but also because my aunts and I have this contest going, our OWN "Biggest Loser 2010."  Each woman, ONLY WOMEN, NO MEN, put in $50...the pool is $350 total, and whoever loses the most weight, WINS!  We started on January 5th, and our FINAL weigh-in is in 3 weeks, on February 5th, and I want that money SOOOO bad.  We can pick our own poison, as far as HOW we choose to lose the weight.  I'm going with the healthy way, just working out and eating right, because I want the weight to stay off. NO pills, NEGATIVE!  Well, my girl Stephanie over at Steevie's Inner Sanctum told me about her green tea diet. I had heard about it, but I never tried it.  She drinks green tea all day, it suppresses her appetite, and then eats a little something at night, a small dinner.  She said that she loves it, and it really does work, and yes SOMETIMES temptation is a B***H, but she said it's working for her.  So, I thought to myself, "I stay busy at work, I occupy myself, so if I can just do that, drink my tea all day, workout & train, and eat a healthy dinner at night, that $$$ is as good as mine!"  I'm starting it tomorrow, a new week, so we'll see how things go, I'm EXCITED! WISH ME LUCK =)
