Mikasa su Casa!

I have always been the time to have a small knack for interior decorating, but it can get costly if you want nice things. If you are a person that is into making sure your place is flawless, then you should definitely check out a brand called Mikasa (pronounced Me Casa, cute huh?). Mikasa has everything that a person would need to turn their house into a home. The reason why I love this brand so much is because it is affordable. I am definitely a penny pincher, but I love to give the illusion that something costs a ton of money. For those that are not too good at choosing coordinating tableware, Mikasa has different patterns that you can choose from and has a whole tableware set based on the pattern you pick!  It has everything from dining sets, to flatware, to drinking sets, and even gorgeous candle holders and frames.

My absolute favorite thing about the Mikasa brand is that they offer beautiful and unique vases, and pieces of art that you would not normally find for a low price. I saw this beautiful vase and it was only 19.99! Talk about a bargain. I definitely think it is time to redecorate and it will be so much more cost friendly since I have discovered this brand. You ladies should check it out, because not only are their prices fair, but they have several offers such as free shipping on orders over $99, and they have a gift shop with items made specifically to give to the one you love. Everyone should check it out, and for our brides to be they even have a bridal registry! I am not walking down the aisle any time soon, but when that time comes, you bet that I will totally be registering Mikasa to decorate Mi Casa! J  

Four Loko

So by now, everyone who’s anyone has heard of a FOUR LOKO, I was a little late into the game until a few friends told me about it. The first time I tasted it, I had fruit punch. I was very skeptical because I do not like drinks that have a strong alcoholic taste. I loved it instantly; it was like soda with a little kick. Apparently I enjoyed it a tad bit too much, because two FOUR LOKOS later, I was being drugged in the house by my brothers. Call me a light weight, but the drink snuck up on me because I drank it down so fast. Since turning 21 last January, I have experimented and tasted different drinks to see which ones I like the best. I am the type to go by how a drink tastes, not how drunk it will get me. Four Loko has done an excellent job of balancing making a drink great tasting, and having enough alcohol content to get you a little buzzed.

While some people may be against this caffeinated alcoholic beverage, stating that it is targeted toward audiences under legal drinking age, it is important to know that FOUR LOKO itself is not the problem. Any drink that gets into the wrong hands can be considered dangerous. An article such as this one expresses these exact thoughts, and urges readers to understand that alcohol abuse is not because of the FOUR LOKO drink. Whether the ingredients are changed or removed off the market entirely whoever wants to get their buzz from caffeine and alcohol will figure out a combination of things to get that buzz. 

200 sit up challenge!

I noticed my pants have been getting a lot loser, which is surprising since I am not trying as hard as I normally do. Sure I opt for a disgusting Lean Cuisine over a burger sometimes, but I haven't really seen the inside of a gym since God knows when. I am a little motivated to slim up my mid section and I heard about this program called two hundred sit ups. basically it is a program that helps you reach a goal of 200 sit ups in a 6 week period. I am not doing it to lose weight, because clearly that can only be done with proper diet and exercise, but I just want to see if this will aid in shrinking my tummy a bit....



I am definitely going to take measurements before I start, because I want to have some form of proof to whether it worked or not. If you decide to join me, full details of the program are located here: twohundredsitups.com
