Gossiping >=[

Hello my lovelies!

Thank you to those who commented on my last blog! It's always nice to read encouragement and I encourage those who are trying to live healthier to never give up! The rewards are amazing.

So today I would like to talk about keeping your mind and spirit healthy. I was reflecting on certain things and there is something so addictive and so evil; and what's even worse, people don't even know that they are addicted to this drug. GOSSIP. Boys and girls, raise your hand if you have said something hurtful about a friend or someone! I hope each and every one of you raised your hand. Okay NO, I dont want to turn this post into another "Mean Girls" rendition. But think about it, why do say terrible things behind someones' back when we know that if someone said the something behind ours it SUCKS.

No matter how much one says "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me", WORDS CUT LIKE KNIFE. Gossiping is addicting because it makes people laugh and sometimes gives us a sense of belonging in a group of friends. Think about it, if your friends are making fun of their friends, they are most likely making fun of you too. It's the sad truth. I have certain friends that make fun of our friends habits, style, what they say, and I'm trying to distance myself from them. Although I do laugh, I wonder why I am laughing. Why does such negativity bring me JOY? NO it shouldn't. I for one have been a victim of gossip and it really sucks. So why would I participate or inflict that pain to someone else. What's even more terrible, is that when you see that person your friends were making fun of, you wouldn't say anything.

First of all, stay away from people that cause so much negativity. It isn't good for you. And if you find yourself in that situation, stay quiet. Do not participate. Do not even giggle. By doing so encourages the other person to gossip more often. If you feel like you have to gossip in order for your friends to laugh or like you, they are not your real friends. Find people who are positive for you; you'll find yourself happier and healthier.

Do you find yourself stuck in this situation? Are you the perpetrator? Dont worry. Stop right now. Reflect. Change. You are not alone! When you become positive, you will attract the positive. I promise!

Besides that, guess what I hauled in from shopping today!!!!

So I bought the Ezekiel bread from DTE (Down to Earth). I cringed at the price but it's so healthy because it's made from whole sprouted grains. I am not much of a rice person, but I do love my bread. Lately on the news, they have been talking about how the average American consumes way too much sodium. One of the culprits is bread. Look at your bread and see how much sodium is in each slice. In this bread, although it says low sodium, on the label it says 0 mg of sodium YAY! It also contains no sugar and has only 80 calories per slice. As for the taste I will let you guys know because I havent tasted it yet ;). The F-factor is a good cereal because it has little sugar and 18g of fiber! Holy Moly that is awesome. I also got heat protectant spray for my hair because I am determined to grow long sexy beautiful hair haha! I finally bought the Revlon Lip Butters that are so raved about. I tried it out and it's as wonderful as they say. Super moisturizing. Now I don't have to splurge on my Dior lipstick! I also got NYX jumbo eye pencil. I have been loving those because I'm super lazy in the morning to put on makeup but with these I just rub it on my eyelids and blend it out with my fingers in like 30 seconds. 

I also bought these at DTE. I am a snacker and so I wanted to buy something crunchy and healthy (low in calorie). Found these. 1/2 cup and only 25 calories. It is also made with whole grains and organic fruits and veggies. But I laughed at my self because these are made for BABIES!!!! But who cares. Babies need to eat healthy so I figured adults can too. But when I was at the cash wrap, the cashier was like "Oh my son LOVES these!". All I could say was "Oh really!?" because I was too embarrassed to say that they were for ME!!!! 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my blog post! Stay happy and healthy my friends! God Bless

xoxo,
