As mentioned before, I began taking the Akavar 20/50 weight loss supplement as one of my new years resolutions. This past week I have been taking it in conjunction with my daily jogging and new sugar-reduced, low-fat eating habits in hopes of shedding a few pounds. So far, I have lost two pounds (it’s only been a week, people!) and I swear I am eating less (no easy feat for the girl who eats like a horse).
However, I have a girlfriend who insisted on using Alli, the first FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss pill. Unfortunately, I don’t think she read the label very thoroughly and experienced by far one of the most embarrassing and horrifying moments I have ever heard. Before I tell you what happened, let me give you a little background on Alli.
The pill is designed to block body fat, which is supposed to pass through your body. Thus, the makers of Alli suggest users wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes when they leave the house until they get used to the pill’s plausible (and disgusting) side effects. In other words, stray too far from a low-fat, very healthy diet and you’ll probably poop your pants - no joke! In fact, the official Alli website warns users of these possible side effects:
gas with oily spotting
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control
I’ll spare you the grisly details of my friend’s humiliating experience, but I will say it involved one of the previously mentioned “side effects,” a silk dress, and one damn sexy date who will never call her back.
Personally, I would rather try something that helps stave off hunger rather than something that makes me mess my drawers! But I’m curious…would you take a weight loss supplement with such awful side effects if it meant shedding some weight?
With the constant threat of computer viruses, accidental deletion, and file corruption on PCs, remote online backup is a must! For all you savvy computer ladies, hopefully you already have a computer backup and recovery plan in place; if you don’t, now is the time to get one. Ask anyone who has important data or documents due to a computer failure, damage, or even theft.
Recently, I had a good friend whose laptop was stolen, which had all her digital photos, MP3 music files, and term papers. Needless to say, she is having a hard time recovering from it, not only because she lost all her important school work, but because years of priceless photographs and memories were lost.
Don’t let this be you! Take the necessary steps to protect yourselves, ladies!

What happened? Where has our favorite sex-kitten, gum-snappin, butt-shakin, tune-beltin’, blonde hottie pop princess gone? We’re tired of the vajayjay flashing, grungy extensions, creepy British accent, your even creepier paparrazo “lover,” and the all around craziness that seems to prevail wherever you go.
Girlfriend, snap out of it! You were the world’s most influential pop star and one of the most popular female international superstars - get your act together and take back that throne! Fix that poo-nasty hair, perhaps start taking zantrex (like way back when), and dress appropriately. And it wouldn’t hurt to start preppin’ for a majah comeback performance, to erase the horrible memory of this disaster.
I’ve done it; I’ve found the secret to wanting to keep working out! Buy a new swimsuit! Even though there is still snow on the ground, I bought one. What can I say, it was on sale. I was a little more adventurous this year. I usually will wear shorts over the swimsuit, or like last year, get a bottom that comes with a cute little skirt. But this year I got just regular bottoms. AHHH! Now that is scary. But I find that I definitely don’t want to miss a day of working out! I have a limited amount of time before summer hits, and I want to be ready and confident! So there you go; the amazing secret is revealed. Try it out. I bet it will work for you too!
Like every girl out there, I have certain “luxuries” that I simply cannot (or perhaps will not) go without. These include my addiction to Saks Fifth Avenue, True Religion Jeans, and Bumble and Bumble hair products. However, my bank account is growing slim and it would be nice to have some supplemental income to help pay for my needs - one that would not interfere with my current full-time job. So after doing a little research and asking some friends, I have come up with a list of possibilities…who knows, perhaps one would work well for you!
Become a mystery shopper. Getting paid to shop? I know, it sounds too good to be true but believe it! Retail and restaurant corporations use mystery shopping companies (who in turn employ mystery shoppers) as a way to improve customer service. There are tons of companies out there to work for but unfortunately, a number of scams as well. Legitimate companies will never make you pay to be employed or “become a member.” Look for companies that offer an online application.
eBay! I have a closet full of stuff that I am going to list on ebay…one man’s trash is another’s treasure!
I have toyed with the idea of opening an online retail store using a dropship company. Imagine an online store that sold nothing but designer purses…just my kind of store!
Since I love to write (and I was an English Language major in college), why not put my talent to good use? There are literally thousands of freelance writing and editing jobs available online…you just have to look.
I have a friend who is an amazing amateur photographer. He loves taking photos and he sells them all online and makes pretty good money on the side. Do something where you can utilize a passion of yours.
