The hair...

To contact us Click HERE
I had tried to get some better pictures with the violet dye, so here are those:
indoors:

outdoors:

Sadly, my hair looked black or blue which was not my intent, so I have since dyed to a 'normal' brown. However, I really dislike having a normal hair color now, so I might try out one more purple color (without bleaching). I have heard good things about a British hair color brand called La Riche and their plum purple in the Directions line. I have heard some reports that the color does not bleed as much, so I may be going for one more purple attempt soon.

A purple bag

I don't want to make this blog about handbags, but I have to share this purple beauty. <3
Rebecca Minkoff's Circle Quilt Casanova in purple shine with silver hardware

I had a hard time capturing the color in the pictures (ever since my camera broke I have not gotten the hang of taking great photos with hubby's old camera). But this is a pretty perfect deep purple (between the flash and non-flash picture colors), perfect with the silver hardware. And the circle quilt pattern makes it wonderfully smooshy!

Of course I love the cute matching tassel and surprising leopard lining (and matching dustbag).

The size is great, especially as a crossbody bag (my preferred style). Not too big but bigger than the RM MAC which I love but can be a little tight if I am carrying one or two more things than normal.
... Sorry, I am messy so the background is a disaster...

the Social Network movie

To contact us Click HERE
It took me forever to watch The Social Network and then longer to finally post this. I don't have much for a review - it was a good movie, that's pretty much all there is to it. Not an action movie or comedy, more like a based-on-life character study, so it was informative and interesting. Not to say they may not have made some characters more unlikeable or likeable for movie-purposes, but it is an entertaining adaptation of reality.

Most (all?) of the outdoor college campus scenes where filled here at Johns Hopkins, so I had been meaning to watch it eventually (no matter how the movie did) so that I could keep on eye out for the Hopkins scenes, specifically the ones with my office building since I know they changed the exterior for a few days so it could say Harvard and the name of one of their buildings.

So this will be quick, mostly listing times in the movie that were shots of my campus. Mainly the beginning credits (that caused a re-route of my walk home one evening) and then a few other short walking scenes.

I was actually reminded to watch this because there have been spotlights and cameras off-campus this past Fall for other filming. The upcoming HBO show Veep was using Baltimore for scenes that are supposed to be Washington, DC.

Based on the version of Social Network I watched, here are the times that show Hopkins:
5:55 to 7:37, of which 6:14 was at the time of filming my walk home that got rerouted due to filming and 7:10 is the breezeway (overlooks the 'lower quad' and my building, Latrobe, can be seen)

7:22-7:34 Latrobe! (my office building/ civil engineering and mechanical engineering building) is used as the exterior of the Harvard dorms

11:27-11:36 more Latrobe!

19:28-19:53 Shaffer Hall, in the same quad as Latrobe

So that was additionally interesting for me because of the Johns Hopkins connection.

Spicy and Sweet

To contact us Click HERE
I love spicy foods. And I have recently found that I like spicy chiles (cayenne) with just about everything (the only exception I can think off offhand would probably be with caramel, but I could be persuaded otherwise). I like it with savory foods and with sweet. Here's how it happened:

This past summer, I tried Trader Joe's chile mango floes, sweet mango popsicles with spicy chilli powder. They were good but confusing - a very spicy frozen snack. I had never tried such a combination, but heard that similar sweet with spicy combos are popular in South America.

When it got colder, I tried making some Aztec hot chocolate. At the time, I had a specific recipe I followed to make the spicy hot chocolate drink. This I thought matched better, hot sweet drink with spicy.

Now, recently, I was shopping at Trader Joe's and picked up some dried mango with cayenne (chile spiced mango) to give that a try. Love it. Not as confusing like the popsicles because they don't have a temperature component, just the flavor aspect - the spicy with the sweet.

Today, in lieu of my regular thermos of coffee, I have made Aztec hot chocolate from memory and am enjoying that very much. Here's the general recipe (I didn't measure anything): hot chocolate packets ~1packet for 10oz water, cayenne powder ~1tsp, cinnamon ~1tsp, hot water. Mmmm, sweet and spicy. Give it a try if you like spicy stuff.

America's Top Model Season 18

To contact us Click HERE
I was let down with the all-star season (cycle 17) - there wasn't live stuff except the first episode and there were only two or three girls I really liked and they didn't win. Plus the weird cut/ refilming of the season finale.

Anyway, having watched all of Britain's next top model, I am super excited for this US season because half of the contestants were previous UK contestants. I don't expect to recognize them all, but I am excited that the shows are colliding. :) I find it funny that the first complaints are about not understanding the accent. After watching plenty of non-US shows, I don't have that problem and forget that it can be a problem for some.

This is a fun twist because the US ones were starting to bore me. Now, if Tyra can avoid making it all about her, I might really enjoy this season.... Here's hoping!

How to Be a Hot Mess

To contact us Click HERE

Whether you aspire to be a hot mess, or want to know what exactly a hot mess is so you'll never be called one, these guidelines will help.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

Tight clothes
Bad hairstyle
Tacky makeup
Tan
Alcohol

Step 1: Figure out your size

Figure out what your ideal dress size is, then squeeze into clothes that are 2 sizes smaller than that.

Step 2: Dress carefully

Wear your bottoms low and your tops high so you'll always have a muffin top, even if you're not overweight. Pair ripped pantyhose with hot pants and always wear shoes too high for you to walk in gracefully.

Step 3: Find a hairstyle

Find a hairstyle befitting a hot mess. Choices include clip-on extensions that don't hide the clips very well, a fried perm, a mullet, a reverse mullet, or hair bumped up 3 inches at the crown.

To be a really hot mess, combine 2 or more of these hairstyles.

Step 4: Wear the right makeup

Wear the right makeup: non-waterproof mascara, blue eye shadow, and lip liner darker than your lipstick. No need for foundation thanks to your tan: either lie in a tanning bed until your skin is the texture and color of well-done bacon, or pile on the fake stuff that turns you orange.

Step 5: Drink to excess

Drink too much. Lose your lunch in public. Swear you'll never drink again. Repeat the next day.

Step 6: Put it all together

Master any one of these steps and you'll be a hot mess. Put them all together and a whole new hot mess category will have to be invented for you.

"Hot mess" is believed to have originated from the image of a steaming dog pile.

How to Follow the USDA MyPlate Dietary Guidelines

To contact us Click HERE

Forget the food pyramid. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's nutrition guidelines are now called MyPlate. Here's how to adhere to the USDA recommendations..

To complete this how-to, you will need:

Fruits
Vegetables
Grains
Protein
Dairy
Smart choices

Step 1: Picture a plate

Picture a plate divided into 4 sections -- fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. Fruit and vegetables should fill half the plate, with veggies taking up a little more room than fruits; divide the other side between grains and protein, with grains getting a bit more space. Now envision a small cup next to your plate, marked "Dairy." Not soda. Dairy.

Go to choosemyplate.gov to find daily MyPlate requirements of each food group according to age, gender, and level of physical activity.

Step 2: Mix it up

Eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables so your body gets a range of nutrients. Eating produce of different colors is an easy way to do so.

Step 3: Choose your protein wisely

Get your protein from omega-3 rich seafood; lean meats and poultry; eggs; nuts; seeds; and beans. Avoid processed meats like bacon and hot dogs.

String beans are vegetables, not protein.

Step 4: Eat more whole grains

When filling a quarter of your plate with grains, make sure that at least half of them are whole grains, meaning they contain the entire grain kernel. Examples include whole-wheat flour, bulgur, oatmeal, and brown rice.

Step 5: Choose fat free or low fat dairy

Choose dairy foods that retain their calcium content, such as milk, most cheeses, and yogurt, as opposed to those that don't, such as butter and cream cheese. And try to stick to fat-free or low-fat dairy.

If you drink soy milk, make sure it's calcium-fortified.

Step 6: Limit fat sugar and salt

No matter what food group you're eating, limit salt, solid fats, and added sugars -- those that are put into foods and beverages when they're processed. Bon appétit!

First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity team collaborated with the USDA on MyPlate.
