Diary of a "Nu Life"

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:19:00 +0000

As promised, here's a recap of Monday's activities...

I attended my first bootcamp class. To say the least, it's pretty intense! I did enjoy watching myself in the mirror as I looked pretty goofy learning the routines, LOL. The trainer is tough and they DO NOT let you quit...you HAVE to keep moving! It's not about keeping up with everyone else, just don't stop moving. Thank God I tied my hair up or else it definitely would have been a mess. Definitely no point in coming "cute" because you will most definitely be sweaty by the end of class!

As planned, dinner consisted of a spicy black bean veggie burger on a whole wheat sandwich thin w/ light havarti cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a little bit of ketchup. I was utterly amazed at how tasty and flavorful the burger was! I seriously don't even miss being able to have a "real" burger! Wow! I can't even believe those words are coming out of MY mouth!

Today, Day 3: All is well. I've been taking my multivitamin and eating breakfast. Instead of feeling drained by 3, I feel amazingly energetic. My snacking has been fruits or fiber one bars and I'm becoming more conscious of what I'm eating. I"m determined to reach my weight goal in two months. Class tonight. Weigh in Sunday. I'm hoping I dropped the 2 lbs. I'm aiming for for this week *fingers crossed*

Diary of a "Nu Life"

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:11:00 +0000

Last September, I posted a blog about starting fitness bootcamp. Well, things didn't go as planned so I had to put it off. Fast forward to now...this past Saturday, I attended Nu Life's orientation along with my BFF, Jay. As I expected, it was packed! Nu Life's program is very popular so there was no surprise to see a room full of women--and a sprinkle of men--who want so very badly to get in shape physically & to improve their health. Miesha, Nu Life's proprietor, talked to us all very honestly about what the program entails--in a nutshell, it ain't easy. But let's be honest, anything worth having isn't easy to come by and definitely takes hard work.

Today, so the meal plan begins. I haven't been to the grocery store yet (going this evening after bootcamp!) but I'm doing ok thus far. For breakfast I had 2/3 cup of Cheerios with about 4 ounces of low fat milk and a banana. Hate milk, love fruit. For a snack I ate an apple and for lunch I ate a huge salad with NO CHEESE (that was HARD), a ton of veggies and a couple teaspoons of vinaigrette dressing. So far, I've consumed 64 ounces of water too! I can't lie though, LOL, I did have 10 peanut M&M's just now. Don't shoot me, I'm far from perfect! This is a process but like I said, I'm willing to get to the top of the mountain. For dinner tonight, I plan on having a veggie burger on a whole wheat sandwich thin and some baked sweet potato fries. I'll be back to dish on my dish!

Instead of viewing my "nu life" as a "task", I've decided to view it as a positive lifestyle change with a ton of benefits. Bad eating habits and little physical activity brought me here and my quest to be fit & healthy will keep me here. I've set a realistic weight loss goal, I've acquired some great & interesting healthy recipes and most of all, I have a ton of support from those around me. Changing your life and the food you eat is definitely NOT an easy thing to do, but I'm determined to do so.

...Be back with more after tonight's bootcamp! TTYS!!!...

Toxic People

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:47:00 +0000

For alot of us, 2010 is all about positivity and being an all-around better person. Part of that process entails getting rid of the people around you who bring nothing but negative energy. Having negativity within your circle takes away from the blessings that you receive, or could receive. There are some people in this world who are just so negative that they are actually "toxic". They are just like vampires, literally draining the life out of you! It's inevitable that you're going to run across a toxic person or two at some point in your life. The key is to be able to identify them and then get as far away from them as you possibly can. According to www.counseling.suite.101.com, there are four types of toxic people aka "emotional vampires":

The Criticizer – This is somebody who is convinced that he/she has the God-given right to deliver what they think is constructive criticism, even if they tear the other person to shreds. They claim to be good with people, yet have zero sensitivity.

The Drainer – Once they sink their claws into their victims it's hard to shake off a drainer. They are in somebody's life because they need encouragement and help, but have no time for others. In their minds, a give and take relationship is to give nothing and take as much as they can.

The Know-It-All – Whatever the subject might be, they know everything there is to know about it. Not only this, but they enjoy rubbing it in everyone's faces. They emit a certain confidence and authority that can easily fool others. (Oh boy do I know a few of these! But I won't say any names LOL!)

The Dream Killer – Big dreams and creativity are essential for new discoveries and inventions. These people are locked in a constant state of what is, instead of what could be.

If you know any of these types of people, it's best for you to kick them to the curb. At one point, I was "friends" with the "Criticizer/Know-It-All". She started out totally great, but no sooner than I thought she was a great friend did her true colors begin to show. Slowly but surely she started taking shots at me, my life, my clothes, everything! She always said "I'm just looking out for you!", but clearly that wasn't the case. She was just toxic through and through. There is nothing that can be done or said to make a toxic person less negative. Their sole purpose is to bring you down to their level of misery and as we all know, misery don't need anymore company...she has enough! Stay positive and surround yourself with positive, genuine, ambitious people who really do have your best interest at heart. Always remember that anyone who isn't for you is against you and a toxic people aren't for anyone except themselves.

Girl You Talk TOO Much!

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:50:00 +0000

We're all guilty of it. At one time or another, we've all blabbed something that was told to us in confidence. That's life and occasionally, shit happens. The problem comes in when you're constantly doing so and then getting into "situations" with your friends over your big mouth. Some people just can't hold water. The minute you tell them something they gotta spill. Whether it's done maliciously or not, constantly telling others' biz gives you a label that will have people never wanting to confide in you again because you're a human billboard. When friends view you as a confidante, that means that they are comfortable with, as well as trust you. Even when you don't invite people to use you as a shoulder, it's still not cool to spill the beans. Be honest with yourself...you know when you have a big mouth because at some point or another, someone has told you that you do! And if you have yet to be confronted about it, chances are people have either stopped telling you things or have warned others about your "condition".

You know you talk too much when:

A sudden hush falls over the room when you walk in. Rather than risk their business being in the Daily News, people instantly shut up and twiddle their thumbs or begin talking about the weather.

Hardly any of your personal phone convos or e-mail messages are about your own life. The transcripts could be collected and used as bios for your friends.

The National Enquirer contacts you about a "journalist" position and you didn't even apply.

Talking too much shows that you have very little respect for peoples' privacy. When you're a Blabbermouth you're better off just telling your friend the truth--that you probably shouldn't be the one they confide in. Just shut up, grow up and get a life of your own so that others' secrets, issues, and problems don't have to be the main focus of your daily life.

My Beauty Must-Haves

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:31:00 +0000

Like any "girly girl", I'm a product addict. I love to buy 'em and try 'em! I don't necessarily believe in purchasing the most expensive products and to be honest, most of my fave stuff comes straight from the drug store. My philosophy's always been that whether you pay $10 or $100 for something, it only looks good if you KNOW how to use it. With that being said, here are some of the products that make up my beauty regimen:

Sephora eyebrow palette #02- I always get a ton of compliments on my brows and I have to credit that to this palette. After years of trial and error--too thin, heavily penciled-in, penciled-on, mismatched, not-quite-right brows-- I finally got it right! With the help of Sephora's eyebrow palette, my brows are natural looking & effortlessly flawless.

PROS: inexpensive ($12), fits easily into a small makeup bag, adjustable color/great color match, also available for lighter brows in #01.

CONS: the brush that comes with it is way too small and will totally test your fine motor skills, LOL. I recommend buying a regular sized slanted eyebrow brush to apply your powder and wax.

Neutrogena shine-control blotting sheets- A shiny face is not what's up and applying powder to skin that's already greasy just ends up looking gross. These shine-control sheets will sop up the oil, giving your face a natural matte finish leaving your makeup in-tact.

PROS: silky feel, doesn't disturb your makeup, there's no powder on these like with other blotting papers so they don't leave behind a "residue".

CONS: they only come in packs of 60 so they tend to run out pretty fast.

Bare Minerals makeup- I've been using Bare Minerals now for a little over a year and I must say that I was totally impressed with the results. Just like the infomercial says, it's light and doesn't give you that "masky" feel that most liquid and pot foundations give you. My face just looks soft with a natural glow. The Mineral Veil can also be worn on its own for a soft "finished" look and to lightly blur flaws. Just "swirl, tap & buff" your way to a flawless face in minutes.

PROS: light feel, great color match, starter kit comes with an instructional DVD and all the brushes you'll need, you can sleep in it with no fears of waking up to a huge zit.

CONS: can be somewhat messy, brushes may feel prickly on sensitive skin, contains bismuth oxychloride (for sheen) which may cause an itching or burning sensation to some peoples' faces when they sweat.

TIGI Bed Head wax stick- I love love love this stuff! It smooths the flyaways and is also great for maintaining the tapered sides of my short cut.

PROS: convenient non-messy stick form, inexpensive.

CONS: if you use too much it'll leave a greasy, whitish residue on your hair.

Dove green tea & cucumber beauty bar- I can't use perfumed soaps so this particular bar gives me exactly what I need: a nice light scent and no skin irritation.

PROS: softly scented, leaves skin soft.

CONS: Dove bars "melt" fast.

Wet 'n Wild eye pencil in Turquoise- need a pop of color for your eyes on a blah day but don't feel like whipping out the eyeshadow palette? I've totally fallen in love with brightly hued eyeliner. You can't go wrong as long as the hue compliments your eye color. Not to mention bright liners are totally on-trend for spring/summer 2010.

PROS: uber inexpensive (99 cents to $1.49), great color selection, easy application.

CONS: it's a kohl pencil so you have to sharpen it alot.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs- Ok, so nobody's perfect and Sally Hansen took that into consideration when she created Airbrush Legs. It's literally like sheer pantyhose in a can and gives your legs a nice, healthy appearance.

PROS: Natural look, softens appearance of imperfections, long wearing, feels good on

CONS: Overspray can be messy, can slightly rub off on light clothes.

Beauty is a full-time job but it's definitely a fun one with a ton of benefits!

Chanel Does Body Art

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:48:00 +0000

According to StyleList, couture fashion house Chanel is gearing up to launch a line of temporary body art called Les Trompe L'Oeil de Chanel Temporary Skin Art. The inspiration behind the designs comes from the temporary tattoos designed for the Paris Spring 2010 runway show by Chanel's artistic director, Peter Philips. Each pack of tats contains five sheets with 55 designs total, including Chanel's signature chain and pearl accents. They retail for $75 per book and will be available mid-February at Chanel.com, in boutiques by March.

I think these temporary tats are really cute and a fun & inexpensive way to express your love of Chanel. Definitely hot for a night out on the town...not so much for that office board meeting though!

J.O.B...Just Over Broke

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:47:00 +0000

The daily grind. If you're not doing what you want to be doing for a living, it pretty much sucks. Getting up super early, gridlock traffic on the freeway, punching a clock to go sit behind a desk to complete mundane tasks for 8 plus hours a day equates to hell on earth for many of us. Not even payday can compensate for the boredom, pointless meetings and screwy office politics that one is forced to put up with daily. Bottom line is you're overworked and underpaid! When you have a J.O.B. this is your life...in a nutshell.

"oh u hate ur job? Why didn't u say so? They have a support group for that. Its called EVERYBODY and they meet at the bar"

With today's economy being so bad, it has been said that if you have gainful employment--happy with it or not--to consider yourself blessed. According to a recent survey, only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their work. That was the lowest level ever recorded by the Conference Board research group in more than 22 years of studying the issue. But who's really surprised to hear this bit of info? Most people who go to work, only do so because they have to. At best, a job barely pays the bills. It offers little to no fullfilment and usually no real growth. Add in the rising cost of health insurance digging into your take home pay and it's hard to really appreciate bringing home what's left of your check!

Let's compare, a job vs. a career: jobs are "safe" and basic. A job is someone "doing an activity in exchange for payment". A career, on the other hand, is "the pursuit of a lifelong ambition and requires special education/training" as well as some risk taking.

My career goal is to become an esthetician and spa owner. I've always had a passion for all things that pertain to the beauty industry and I realize how a great makeover can really change a woman's life. Currently, I have a job in Human Resources and short of the money, I'm not happy. It's a boring field that I have not one grain of interest in, kind of just fell into and hopefully will be climbing out of very soon. The stress of not doing what I love is beginning to wear on me and you can definitely include me in that 45% of people unhappy in their work.

There are some people in this world who are content with working for a paycheck and then there are those who wish to be fulfilled in what they are doing. Me, I fall into the latter category. With a job, you'll always be "just over broke"--in your pocket as well as your spirit.

"God Says No" by James Hannaham

Gary Gray marries his first girlfriend, a fellow student from Central Florida Christian College who loves Disney World as much as he does. They are 19 years old, God-fearing, and eager to start a family, but a week before their wedding Gary goes into a rest-stop bathroom and lets something happen. God Says No is his testimony — the story of a young black Christian struggling with desire and belief, with his love for his wife and his appetite for other men, told in a singular, emotional voice. Driven by desperation and religious visions, the path that Gary Gray takes — from revival meetings to "out" life in Atlanta to a pray-away-the-gay ministry in Memphis, Tennessee — gives a riveting picture of how a life like his can be lived, and how it can't.

Hate On Haters! Hate On!

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:42:00 +0000

In light of what seems to be an epidemic, I've decided to post one of my fave poems by none other than Maya Angelou.

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all
their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some
haters…That’s why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can’t handle seeing you
blessed…

It’s dangerous to be like somebody else…

If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given
you what He gave them! Right? You never know what people have gone
through to get what they have.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but
they don’t know my story… If the grass looks greener on the other side
of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there
too!

We’ve all got some haters among us! People envy you because you can:

Have a relationship with God
Light up a room when you walk in
Start your own business
Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn’t about the right thing)
Raise your children without both parents being in the home

Haters can’t stand to see you happy, Haters will never want to
see you succeed, Haters never want you to get the victory, most of our
haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. How do you handle
your undercover haters?

You can handle these haters by:

1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *(VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. Having a purpose to your life? Purpose does not mean having a job.
You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having
a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not
defined by what others think about you.
3. By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not
human manipulation. Fulfill your dreams!

You only have one life to live…when it’s your time to leave this earth,
you ‘want’ to be able to say, ‘I’ve lived my life and fulfilled
‘my’ dreams,… Now I’m ready to go HOME! When God gives you favor, you can
tell your haters, Don’t look at me…Look at Who is in charge of me…’

Who Am I Living For?

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Opinions are like assholes and everybody's got one. I've been picked apart, talked about, & looked down upon. I've taken so much heat yet I'm still cool as a fan. It's tough, but you have to filter through the bullshit. Not everyone has your best interest at heart and some may harbor their own personal feelings about your success in life. Once upon a time, I cared way too much about what other people thought about me and that took its toll. I was ready to give up on the things I wanted for myself out of life. When I realized that I only had one judge, things turned around. I don't owe the naysayers anything and I'll be damned if I give them my power. When you feed into what they say or think, they in turn feed off of you. Just ask yourself, who am I living for?. Whatever answer you choose, there's your clarity.

Patterning your life around others' opinions is nothing more than slavery.

I Think You Misplaced Something...

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:28:00 +0000

Excuse me, but you seem to have misplaced something that's quite essential to your existence...and if you think I'm talking about your Blackberry then you're crazy!

Your identity is missing, please go find it!

Am I totally missing the mark here or is there something wrong with just being yourself? If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery yet it's also suicide, I guess that explains why it seems as though people are dying to be like those they admire. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be inspired by music or fashion, but we shouldn't be slaves to it either. These things should compliment what's already there inside of you. I'll say this for example: I love fashion mags and like most women who are into fashion, we get alot of our ideas from those very mags. The key is to take a style trend or idea and ADD YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE OR IDEA TO IT, not be a total carbon copy! Personally, when I'm out & about I feel like I'm at a casting call for "Attack of the Clones". It's all skinny jeans and nerd glasses on the guys or Nicki Minaj wannabes! I don't know about you but I'm no character, and Halloween only happens once a year so all the costumes don't make sense to me.

If you're a natural-born follower then I guess I'm not talking to you, but for those who claim to be and take pride in being individuals, free-thinkers, trendsetters, & innovators: stay blazin' trails because it actually takes more effort to try to be someone else.

The lost & found is filled with identities who wish to claim their owners...make sure that you reclaim yours.

Your identity might be lost if:

~The only liquor you drink is whatever you heard your favorite rapper talking about in his latest song...

~You suddenly got in touch with your Asian roots, found out that your dad's great-grandmother's sister-in-law was 1/8 Korean, and now you consider yourself "Blasian"...

~You can't get dressed until you've watched--and re-watched--the video channels...

~The only ideas you can come up with or talk about are those you read on the celeb gossip blogs...

"Inanet" Gangstas Come Out & Play

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:27:00 +0000

Through the years, I've had a few issues & a few problems with females who seem to dislike me for no reason, but it occured to me that it's gotten worse in my adult years. Add in the fact that ever since social networking sites have flourished, the level of anonymous haters has grown as well. The anonymous haters are the worst kind. What makes them worse than your average run-of-the-mill hater is that they can hide behind their computer screens and log-in names and type whatever they want about you with no reprieve. Just close your eyes for a moment...imagine a female who's probably that loud-mouth tough-girl type but knows she wouldn't bust a grape in a food fight. She really gets to pop off online the way her scary ass would never dream of doing to anyone's face. She's at home, sitting at her computer, going ham on those she envies or is too cowardly to approach. This makes her feel as though she's accomplished something. After she secretly posts her remarks, she has a sadistic smirk that's saying "I told that bitch!" The truly sad part is that she's one of your MySpace or FB "friends" who leaves nice comments on your profile or wall regularly!

WTF???

I love the internet for it's vast resources, for giving me the opportunity to let my opinions be heard, and for allowing me the opportunity to meet & network with so many great peoople. What I hate about it is that it's bred so many "E-thugs" like an epidemic. These E-thugs and anonymous haters know that there's virtually no way to be caught in the act, so that gives them their motivation. To them, they have legitimate cause to harass you and try to make your life as miserable as their own. So, where does that leave the hatee? As the hatee, never explain yourself. Never. I know they say it's best to ignore certain things, but I can't lie, I'm a sucker for a show & pretty much have a twisted sense of humor...basically, I like to make the anonymous hater feel even more stupid than they already are. Since it's my attention they're after and they're trying to upset me, I give them just enough for them to feel special for a moment...they get a ";-)" That's it. Just one. Anything after that is a waste of time. Now, go laugh it off.

Someone once told me that you can't win a fight with someone who's not really there. Anonymous is defined as having an unknown or unacknowledged name. Nuff said.

Diva Confessions: My Man Has Groupies

noreply@blogger.com (Infamous Tay) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:31:00 +0000

If you thought you had to be strong in your relationship, I bet that I could one up you. See, my man is an entertainer, and although he hasn't technically "made it big" yet, his name is becoming more and more familiar across the country. Of course his rising fame has its advantages, but one disadvantage (for me) is the seemingly endless stream of women who will do anything for a piece of what he has. And that means what, you ask?...it means groupies. I know that I have yet to see the worst of it, but I'm gearing up and getting practice tested already.

The funny thing about groupies is that they're enthralled with an "image". They have their sights set on fucking an image! Yes, these men are talented, etc. but if you think for one moment that what you're seeing is 100% true to life, then you're absolutely deluded!

So anywho, I've been asked how is it that I'm able to maintain my composure when some of these women are comparable to vultures. Truthfully, it's hard. It's hard because no matter how happy or secure you are in your relationship there's going to be someone coming real hard at what you hold so dearly. You know that she couldn't care less about what he has at home...all she wants is what she wants.

Now, back to these "practice tests"...One night at a show, I stood back as I normally do, making sure to not crowd his space. Some "random" approached him and got a little too close for (my) comfort. I almost laid hands to her but had to remember that I was in his world so I maintained my composure. That small incident opened my eyes in a big way. I also see things via "social networking sites". Yes, I see certain comments that are made by females but it just doesn't matter to me. It's like yes, please think he's hot & sexy because that makes you purchase his cd's & buy tix to his shows which eventually equates to me driving a Bentley coupe through the big ass gates of a mansion that he and I will share! And speaking of social networking sites, some females are not slick! Stop playing the cool hand with me all the while trynna get w/ my man! I see you...I simply choose to not make it known. And trust me when I say, he tells me EVERYTHING...we're close like that...

I'm fully aware that groupies come with the territory. It's taken at face value and pretty much, it is what it is. He and I have shared detailed communications about the pros and cons of this game. We're fully aware of how one another views those pros and cons as well as how we'll choose to handle them. Afterall, this is the life we chose.

You Can Learn Alot From a Dummy

Sometimes, the lessons we're taught in life ironically are the result of dealing with total idiots. No matter how frustrating or upsetting, I've been able to let go of certain situations because the party involved was living proof that some people just never learn. It's like nothing that happens ever affects them and they walk around totally oblivious. To say the least, dealing with dummies was stressful...but it doesn't have to be! Having said that, I'm going on record as saying that I, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare that from this point on, I will never again allow myself to be upset by a dummy; but instead, allow said dummy to remind me to thank God for the abundance of brain cells that I was blessed with. Remember, you can learn alot from a dummy.

Ghett-out 'a Here!

My congratulations go out to President Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of--if not THE--highest honor in the world. I am elated to see that President Obama's efforts are being encouraged with such a prestigious award. Furthermore, I am so proud to be a witness as our president continues to make history.

Let's all continue to stand strong behind President Obama as he pushes forward with his endeavors to make our country thrive again.

What do you get when you mix high energy with bass-heavy beats & hot lyrics? You get Cleveland-bred rapper R.O.B. He's giving plenty of feel good music that's sure to keep heads bobbing and his delivery is what the game's been missing. With hit single, "Watch Me Ride By", under his belt, R.O.B has taken the streets by storm. His highly anticipated mixtape "I Look Better In Person, Vol. 1" is currently available for download.
