The Maple syrup diet and Me
10 Day Cleanse
Ingredients
Lemons
Organic grade B Maple syrup
Uniodized sea salt
Spring/purified water
Smooth Move ( cleansing herbal tea)
Cayenne pepper
I got my ingredients from the whole foods store. In which I love but got damn its expensive (I need to do more research on this organic craze…do we really need it?)
Morning Routine -Drink the saline rinse, 32 oz water 2tsp uniodized sea salt
Throughout the day, Drink 6-12 glasses of cleansing lemonade
8 oz. water
½ lemon
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 Tablespoons of syrup
Evening Drink, Drink a cup of smooth move herbal tea
Ok in short this is how my cleanse went:
The first day I was so pumped to try this cleanse I could not wait to drink my salt water, lemonade concoction and do the damn thing. I told my self that I would fast in the morning and eat a good salad at night.
Well I did not quite go like that …I did fast in the morning but at night I ate chicken tenders, chocolate chips cookies and a salad on a side. I did feel bad but I trick myself into believing that I could eat what I wanted because I was making up for miss calories. However after the first couple a days I got my mind right and laid off the fattening foods. Around 9:00pm I drunk my smooth move herbal tea and relaxed.
5:35 in Morning I woke up with crazy, thunderous movements in my bowels and release everything form the high heavens. Whoa and this lasted until noon. Every 20 min I was running to the bathroom. This lasted for about 4 days. Then it got to the point that I was going every hour in the morning.
I could not bring myself to just drinking the lemonade concoction …I mean come on now that is just plain starvation. Plus my good friend Pretty P always says, “I don’t wont to loose weight by eating things I don’t like and starving, I just want to modify my diet”. I agree plus all I could think about was if I starve my self on this diet the next time I eat I’m going to gain all that weight back and I just could not do that to my thighs.
So I ate lunch and dinner mostly salads with lean meats and snacked on nuts and fruits.
All in all I felt good once I finish (I only did it for 7days). I felt lighter, weight loss, my skin was flawless, I was more cautious about the food I was eating, plus I been regular ever since. So I’m good and I’m going to implant this cleanse in my life probably doing it twice a year.
If you want to know more holla at me and if you decide to do this cleanse, modify it to your likening. Some days I would omit the tea and salt water other days I would fast for longer periods of time. But the most important fact is stay near the bathroom!!!!!

Should Ex-Offenders have the right to vote?
This previous Saturday I ran across a BET news special, "Locked Out: Ex Cons & The Vote". (Side note: Shouts out to BET there programing has gotten much better over the years). Any who after watching the special I formulated my own opinion about this subject. Yes I do believe that ex-offenders should keep there right to vote but this comes with some simulations. Murders, child molesters, rapist should loose their right but those with drug charges and other petty offenses should keep theirs. However, it should only be reastated after they remain crime free for a certain amount of years. What Do You think? Below is the link (I'm still trying to figure out how to post some videos).

Its All About Me
I like to think of myself as the queen of all positive media (you got to speak your destiny into existences). I have been in the game for about 10years and for the most part I done everything I wanted to do up to this point. I been on radio, interview a couple of celebrities, created my own Internet show Urban Voices and now it is time to do bigger and better things.
So that's just a little bit of info right there, any thing else you wanna know holla at me.
