World Cup Winners! Germany

 

Hofbrahaus , Munich, Germany March 2011

Cheers!! GERMANY wins the world cup for the first time since 1990 – the year I was born ! Germany is the first European team to win in South America, so this is history! There are ye’ old superstitions about what country wins in what country that hosts. People believe that now the cup will stay with a Euro team for the next few years to come! 

I was in fact cheering for Germany all along, well since Spain got the cut from the World Cup 2014. I do find that my connection with Futbol aka Soccer to us Americans is deep routed from my abroad experience in Barcelona Spain.

European countries dedicate their heart & soul to their soccer teams. When I used to watch and attend games in Barcelona, the whole city transforms. Even more so than a Football Saturday in Ann Arbor! Residents of Barcelona line the streets trying to get a glimpse at the Television inside a local bar or restaurant. Shops open their doors and chairs line up  into the streets. When FC Barca wins people climb street poles , set off fire works and chant & sing throughout the streets 😀

Guess what everyone it’s 2014 and Germany is not ALL natzi’s !!  People fought me long and hard for wanting Germany to win! Honestly, pulling the Natzi card  is not a legitimate reason for people to be against Germany winning.

One of my best friends growing up was from Germany, she moved to Michigan in the 4th grade, it was so awesome when I was able to meet up with her in Germany when I visited.

For not watching it live in Brazil, I think I had the BEST alternative to watching the game. Outside in a cabana at my friend’s fabulous apartment !

I LOVED visiting Germany in 2011 , Can’t wait to go back !!

Hang Over No More !!

Dayum I do believe this will be a #goldmind idea !!
As we’re getting older, for some reason us “adults” are getting more and more hungover! How could this possibly be? We look back to our glory days and think I used to go harder more days a week and all day long! ! Cheers to my younger self but fuck it  lets take another shot of Fireball or Patron!

Navigating how to resolve your hangover is your own prerogative and may take years to figure out the perfect resolution.
Some friends of mine just choose to puke it all out! Others swear by smoking the reefer. Or taking 2 advil and chugging water before hitting their head to the pillow … thats if they remember to so so! I personally think a big thing of white rice and a spring roll will do the trick … if you’ve gotta blow chunks and get your stomach to the bottom of the barrel .. do it 🙂

I have a friend whose a nurse and when she’s hungover she turns to an IV Bag of fluids! I thought to myself well first of all is this legal ?! Secondly is this genius ?! And then decide WOW obviously this makes sense!!
We’ve all sat in the hospital room with out friend that has just pushed the limit and gotten an mip … watching and listening to him or her ramble on about the zebras flying on the ceiling (note minor in possession means going to the childrens end of the hospital ). The first thing that the hospital provides the person with is an iV bag and a puke bucket.
A urologist doctor in NY saw a strong need in the market for curing hangovers and  took matters into his own hands… and the hands of others. Da da daaaa THE IV Doctor was BORN!  You pay a small fee of $250 to have the IV doc come over to your HOUSE !! Like magic You’re cured !! There are a few options to choose from …

Cleanse
Detox
Refresh
Revive
Super Complex of b12 vitamins which is injection only.

The IV Doc is now serving NYC, Long Island , including the Hamptons and on JULY 3 my dear windy city friends… YOU!!
Get your appointments booked now because Fourth of July is only 4 days out!!
Party On !

Lshawtay’s Book Club : The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green 

Star Rating :  ☆ ☆  ☆  ☆  ☆

Well even though I may be  bit late to the game , since the book won  TIME Magazine’s #1 Fiction Book of 2012 ,  i’m glad i got my at bat with it ! I didn’t want to read the book at first because I was worried it would be sad, it really wasn’t totally sad. Somewhat uplifting and a bit of insight what it is like to be a teenager with cancer. Being a teenager isn’t the easiest  and being in remission or having to walk around wearing an oxygen tank doesn’t make it any easier. The story is heart warming, truly, and might only make you cry once or twice depending how emotional you are of a person. It is an extremely quick read, for me , someone who does not divulge in full fledge books too often, this book me 69 pages deep the first time I sat down to start ! 

Recommended to me by two friends : the first just wanted to read the book before seeing the movie – i personally have no desire to see the movie or how this was put into production on screen. I’m not sure if it is due to the fact that I was a communications major and picked a part films angle by angle scene by scene but I have no interest in having this text brought to the big screen. I’ve heard the movie was lovely and the characters Hazel and Augustus we’re depicted fabulously … ! But the characters i’ve imagined in my head will do for me ! 

My second friend who recommended it to me shared with me that it would be a VERY quick read, which was true! She finished the book in less than 12 hours. She is a major reading gal though – I was lucky she provided me with the copy of the book 😀 I think this is the type of soft cover book you’d rather hold in your hand than read on a Kindle. There is somewhat of a disconnect to me when you read a book on a Kindle. Don’t get me wrong I’m obsessed with the ease and convenience of Amazon’s One- Click purchase feature. 

The friend I recommended it to picked up a copy right away, the day after I had told her! She finished the book in a quick amount of time and texting me that she was hysterically crying & she said “Holy Shit!!! This is amazing” ! LOL I did not have the crying reaction, but maybe i’m not as sensitive and emotional as her. LOVE YOU. 

I do recommend this to the female audience more so than the male audience but I am guessing more of my readers are female than male ! 

I got this little excerpt from the Amazon Website for purchasing the book  ” Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.”

I’m not surprised that millions of copies of this book have been sold, I think it really is a book everyone should read !! 

The book won :
#1 New York Times Bestseller
#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller
#1 USA Today Bestseller
#1 International Bestseller
#1 Indie Bestseller

Giggle of the Day

fatboyIf you haven’t yet heard about the legendary Fat Boy who got arrested in Florida early yesterday …. listen up ! Down in the sun shinny state of Florida , Biggie was pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. He says nervously  officers I’m just to fat to wear a seat belt … sitting at 450 LBS. The officers were wary of his shakey vice and sweaty face , they instantly though mhm we should call the dogs over on this one  – the dogs sniffed around the car & they asked Biggie to get out of his car. They check his pockets & nothing was to be found. Thinking a little bit harder the officers asked Biggie Sir, please lift up your stomach fat rolls and out popped 33 grams of Fresh MARY JANE & 1 g of cocaine!! whoa.  Talk about a hiding place !!

When sharing this story with a friend she thought Maybe he’d even be able to hid stuff in his neck rolls … now wouldn’t that be a trip !!

I heard this story on the radio this morning on my local favorite station Channel 955 with Mojo in The Morning !! They then began a call in about what could be the biggest thing that someone could hide in their personal fat rolls. One guy called in and claims he could fit half a chair in his belly rolls ! OY VEY.

Another nurse called in and said that one time she had a patient come in and they are doing an exam on this 400+ lb guy and they knew something wasn’t just right. They lift up his belly rolls and find a remote control !! The guy instantly takes off his oxygen mask and says “DAYUM IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT” !!

Giggle on and walk 10,000 steps today 😀

Work It – Snack Break – LMFAO

tumblr_n63y9fznRs1qewacoo1_500-1So only in an American kitchen would this be seen ! Unfortunately I cannot take the credit for this being my fancy new fridge !   The idea of quick tips and helpful hints to curb your appetite have been circulating for ages on all sorts of platforms. The FRIDGE is where many eaters find their trouble … taking too many trips to the fridge when you’re bored & knowingly consuming food when you are not really hungry.  Spotted in some of my friends apartments in college I’ve seen photos of Sports Illustrated or Victoria Secret Models or other Haute Betches hanging scantly clad  FRONT & CENTER on their Fridges! Like honestly looking at this photo shopped babe is gonna stop me from getting to that Thai Food from last night – if there even happen to be left overs 😉

To each his or her own on where your will power lies ! But I sure as hell know that If I walked into my kitchen and saw this lady on it with the quote “Ya’ll Best Not Be Snackin'” that I would most def refrain from eating and would be caught cracking up !!

The idea that laughter benefits health has been around for many years, possibly because it reduces muscle tension, increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, exercises the heart and produces happy chemicals in the brain ( endorphins ) It certainly makes sense that laughing would burn more calories too, as a result of the extra movement and increase in heart rate linked with laughing.

You don’t burn a bunch of extra calories – it’s little changes that make big differences. Plus, having a laugh usually makes most of us feel more positive about life – and ultimately, this can help us feel better about ourselves and make us more motivated to lose those excess pounds.

If you laugh for 10-15 minutes a day, you’d burn enough calories to lose 4.4 pounds in a year – it may not be the quickest way to loose weight but surely one of the funnest !!

 

Giggle On !!
