This Man or That One - Morris Chestnut, Boris Kodjoe or LL Cool J

I haven't done a poll in a while so let's do one now. What better topic for discussion than the hottest male actor out right now. Your choices are:

Morris Chestnut

Boris Kodjoe

LL Cool J

This is a difficult one for me. Each has their own unique look and special qualities that I admire. Morris has that Mr. Chocolatey thing going. Boris is classically handsome and Mr. International ( he speaks four languages!) Loves that.

And then there is Mr. I Need Love himself, Todd Smith aka LL Cool J.

Decisions, decisions!

**P.S. I decided not to put any shirtless photos up as to not complicate matters. LOL**

Comment please!!

Mr. Stinky McStinkertums

This week has been a really smelly one for me.

Let me explain. I need glasses, LASIK or a miracle. What I lack in sigh God made up for in my sense of smell. i seriously have a sensitive nose. So,I am in the Target when suddenly I am overwhelmed by the of chitlin's, um excuse me, chitterlings. lol

I am intrigued. So I follow my nose up the aisle and down the aisle. I am smelling shelves and everything when it suddenly hits me. Those aren't chitterlings. That's a person. LOL

He must have just gotten off a a HARD day's work because whew!!!

I have Saturday class and who sits next to me but Stinky McStinkertums. This guy who says he from India is sooo, sooo, sooo funkdafied. Which is really a shame because he seems really nice. He kept trying to spark conversation but it is difficult to talk and not breathe.

My nose is always against me. LOL

After Today I Feel Lile A Woman

I did something today that I have not done in such a long time. I had forgotten how good it felt, how much it makes you feel like a woman. OMG!

Do you wanna know what I did?

I. . .got a much. . . needed. . .and . . .too . . .much. . .missed. . .PEDICURE!!!

LOL.

Thank the Lord for disposable income!

It was soo funny. The little girl was scrubbing the bottom of my feet and she did something I had NEVER seen before in that shop. She put the pumice stone down and flipped open a metal file. It reminded me of the episode of Martin when Sheneneh tells Gina, "Nah, you got to go to work on Myra's feet!" Next Sheneneh pulls out the industrial sized saw and hacks away at Myra's corns.

Watch Myra at the 5:00 minute mark.

Okay it wasn't that bad but still. LOL

I got a manicure, eyebrow and lip wax, and pedicure.

I came in Sasquatch and left a woman.

Letoya Luckett Has A New Album - Lady Love

Do you care?

The former, Destiny Child alumna is giving her second solo effort a go. I must say that she has a really good voice. Kind of makes you wonder why she got kicked out of the group?

Oh, well that's water under the bridge, right?

It should be, because clearly Letoya has moved on. She is even starring in a new movie set for release early next year entitled, The Preacher's Kid.

Another DC alumna is seeing huge success internationally, while America shores still seem cold, but could she look any better while doing it.

Kelly Rowland has a huge international hit with the dance club banger When Love Takes Over with French dj David Guetta.

In a recent article Kelly gushed:

By Kelley L. Carter

LOS ANGELES -- Kelly Rowland is finally independent.

The singer, who spent nearly 10 years with Destiny's Child, says she's now living the life she used to sing about. Before breaking up in 2005, Destiny's Child -- which also featured Beyonce Knowles and Michelle Williams -- topped charts with girl-power tunes such as Independent Women, the theme from Charlie's Angels. But after a series of flat solo efforts, Rowland, 28, has figured out her formula. She sings three tracks on French DJ David Guetta's One Love, which is being released today.

"I feel empowered. Finally," Rowland says with a laugh and a snap of her fingers. "When you don't believe in yourself, you feel like you're living in fear. You don't give yourself the opportunity to believe that you can. And as much as you tell yourself you can't do it, you end up not doing it. Me? I was complacent and comfortable where I was." SOURCE

In the interest of full disclosure, I was never a DC fan. No shade, I was just in college when they came out and their music was sooo high school. I have watched their drama unfold like everyone else. I can appreciate the hustle of these two women.

For me their success represents never giving up even when facing seemingly insurmountable odds. Kudos to both.

Which album will you be copping?

First Maxwell, Now Brian McNight. . .

. . .I just may faint. LOL

Brian McKnight is releasing another album, Evolution of A Man, October 19, 2009. What I've Been Waiting For is reportedly the new single. Do you like? Cause I love. . .LOL!

Lemons Are My Friends - Lemon Recipes

That's my new mantra. Since beginning work **thank you, Lord** and school, I have been having trouble getting used to my new schedule. I have been feeling the side effects - being super tired and constipation stomach discomfort.

I was reading this article about lemons (I know random), it lists the many benefits of drinking lemon water. I thought this would be an easy way to incorporate some healthy habits into my new schedule.

I used to drink lemon water all the time and my skin looked better and I felt better too.

According to my reads you should drink warm lemon water in the morning to clean the liver, flush out toxins, kill parasites, and generally improve digestive health.

For beauty, lemons improve the quality of skin, can clarify and lighten hair etc.

Below is a list of benefits and some recipes.

For digestion:

6-8 oz of warm water

1/2 fresh lemon juice

Mix and drink in the am and before bed

For skin:

Add fresh lemon juice to bottle water, Drink throughout the day; or

   Mask:

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp honey

Mix and spread over face, leave on ten minutes, wash off.

Mask:

Lemon juice

oatmeal

milk

Use just enough to have a mask to cover face and neck. Grind the oatmeal in a blender into a powder. Mix all of the ingredients and apply for ten minutes.

I am going to start my lemon water regimen today and keep you posted through the weeks with new recipes and the effects they have on me.

If you have some recipes, please drop in the comments.

 

Whitney Houston Has A New Album. . .

. . .August 31. The big question is. . .does she still have it? Hmmmmm?

"Million Dollar Bill" is the answer they needed. Cowritten by Alicia Keys, the disco-touched tune is the official first single from the album "I Look to You," arriving Aug. 31.

Most promising is the apparent state of Houston's voice. Silky but assertive, limber but in control, Houston provides a blast of hope simply by sounding good. SOURCE

Houston will be giving a live performance on Good Morning America September 1st. So we will see

What do you think?

Tracklisting:

1. Million Dollar Bill
2. Nothin' But Love
3. Call You Tonight
4. I Look To You
5. Like I Never Left (feat. Akon)

7. I Didn't Know My Own Strength
8. Worth It
9. For The Lovers
10. I Got You
