Such a talented designer. Such a tragedy. We hope wherever you are now you’re resting peacefully with your mum. McQueen was apparently distraught after his mother passed away recently.

Now, is it just me or is twittering about someone’s death, saying RIP, etc. it seems to me in bad taste? You may ask what’s the diff b/n that and a blog? Well, I don’t know but when Kim Kardashian and Tyra are twittering up a storm about it, it just seems wrong. Like everyone is trying to get a piece of the drama. It goes hand in hand with announcing death via Facebook status updates. Gross.

What are your thoughts?

So, hopefully none of us will be faced with the emergency situation where we’d have to administer CPR but if we are, experts are saying it may not be necessary to do the “Mouth to Mouth” part.  Watch this video for a refresher on what you know and how you can help save a life!

H&M, Dude! Get it together!!

Guess who popped the question!?!? That’s right! My BF–or shall I say my Fiancé!!!!

We are super duper excited. I never want to plan the wedding I just want to enjoy the wonderfulness of being engaged! I was totally surprised! And he got me the most gorgeous perfect engagement ring that ever existed!  He proposed in Central Park on the Bow Bridge and then we were whisked away by horse and carriage complete with champagne. Then he surprised me with my parents and sister from Miami so we could all celebrate together with his family. BEST WEEKEND EVER!!!

Love you Fiancé!!

Let the wedding planning begin!

Beware the fake Swine Flu remedies…seriously y’all if it sounds too good to be true I’m sure it is. Please do not go surfing the internet in hopes of some magic warding off swine flu potion.

Our disdain for the food system in our country is no secret.  After seeing the critically acclaimed film, Food, Inc. our eyes were opened about what is going on in our country’s food industry.

Read this CNN article to learn more about the dangers associated with improperly farmed meat! Did you know that the meat you eat could be the reason you get the flu? How sick is that? No pun intended!

This just solidifies our intense belief that you should only be eating organic meats! But don’t forget that means meat products as well! That this means you should drink organic milk as well as eat organic cheese. And remember, grass fed is your best bet! It’s worth the investment in your health.
