What are Bath Salts?

I have been hearing a lot about bath salts lately and I am not talking about the ones you buy from Bath and Body Works. I’m talking about the new drug that apparently caused a man to become a cannibal and eat another man’s face off in Florida. And that’s just one of the latest stories involving this drug.

According to articles, bath salts are a man-made, synthetic drug made from amphetamine-like chemicals and causes a unique combination of effects on the brain. Like zombie attacks. And it is being called the “new LSD.”

It really is scary, because statistics are showing that more and more people are trying bath salts. This statistic scares me because if this is how people act on this drug, then God have mercy! We might have a zombie apocalypse on our hands.

Best TV Theme Songs…IMO

Here is a list of some of my favorite TV theme songs. These are the few theme songs I never fast forward through and the songs that have been embedded in my brain forever.

Music of the Moment!

I hadn’t heard of Carly Rae Jepsen until about 2 months ago. But it felt like everywhere I turned someone was talking about “Call Me Maybe.” They were singing it and making it there Facebook status and I had no idea what they were talking about.

My first time hearing the song “Call Me Maybe” was during the this year’s Billboard Awards and since then I have been addicted to the song. It is just so catchy and the video makes it even better. And Carly seems so cute and innocent. I still can’t believe I am so late getting on the Carly train!

"Desperate Housewives" Series Finale!

Well the final episode of  "Desperate Housewives" aired last night and it left me saying, "huh." Don't get me wrong, overall the show was good. But I felt like it was played a little too safe. I was expecting some wild and crazy antics like the first seasons but that was not so. But we did see Bree beat going to jail, Renee get married, Julie have her baby, Mrs. McCluskey die, and everyone eventually moves away. And all of the housewives go off to live their happy endings. Sounds perfect, right?

The part that gets me is the new neighbor moving into Susan's house. They introduce her and lead us to assume she has some kind of deep, dark secret and then... the end, the show is over. I was so mad. How can you tease me like this? Who is this women? What is her story?

But it lead me to think that they are leaving a door open for a spin-off or movie, and I am all in for that!

What did you think of the finale? Like or dislike?

Kiss the "Housewives" Goodbye!

As they say, all good things must come to an end and tomorrow "Desperate Housewives" will air one last time. And I am not ready.

While I was not in the group of people that watched the show from the very beginning, when I did catch on I instantly fell in love. I watched every episode and loved every minute of it.  But now the show is ending and I hope they go out with the same bang they came in with. I would hate for a great show to receive a lousy send off.

And to honor the show and our favorite housewives, what better way to say goodbye then to look back at our favorite "Desperate" moments?

Mother's Day 2012!

Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me, me

With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me, me,

And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.

For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

Happy Mother's Day!

Nutella Cookies…Yum!

Yesterday one of my favorite Youtube chefs, Laura Vitale, showed us how to make cookies with Nutella. And I instantly started drooling because I am a huge fan of Nutella. I mean who doesn’t love that stuff? And of course the cookies looked so good. This is surely another recipe to add to my “Must Cook” list.

Don’t worry, I put the video below so you can drool too. Enjoy!
