I talk with my daughter all the time about how she spends her money. Even though she is 21, she is very mature but she is still 21 and I was there once. Over time, I have seen her make a conscious effort to become wiser with her decisions as they pertain to her money and I am proud. She sent me an update on how her credit-monitoring and finances are going but in the last email, there was a link to a site called Mint.com.
I was unfamiliar with the site because I usually just do things the old-school way with a little new school flava! However, when I visited the site, I was intrigued. Mint.com is very user-friendly and can really help with saving money and overall managing finances. My daughter gets both texts and emails to her phone about large deposits or when Mint.com thinks her bank account balance is too low (for their standards) LOL. She even signed up for a credit monitoring service that costs $12.99 a month. Basically, the service allows users to keep track of fluctuations in their credit score AND it updates you whenever something changes!
Overall, this was a post based on personal experience and education, so I do recommend that you sign up…it’s FREE! However, if you all want to share sites and methods that work (or do not work) for you, please COMMENT!
Out of all the reality TV shows that exist, The Real Husbands of Hollywood has to be the best. Best because it’s a mockery of all the reality shows that claim to be reality. This skit-turned-TV-show, has brought high ratings and highlights some of Hollywood’s finest brothers! Starring Kevin Hart, Robin Thicke, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, J.B. Smooth and Nick Cannon, the show will definitely have you rolling around with laughter. Check out the first episode: Easy Bake Kevin.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. Not only was it the day to remember a great man, but it was a day where we recognized another. President Barack Obama was sworn into his second term of presidency on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There were hundreds of thousands of people watching and the event was probably the most star-studded inauguration to date! The whole day was filled with excitement, from the inauguration, to President Obama’s speech, the parade, and our favorite…the inaugural ball.
Get out of lazy and up into life! According to Shape Magazine, you can exercise in bed. They reported, “The bed actually can be an effective place to perform both cardiovascular and strength protocols. Just like Balance Disc or Bosu Ball, the bed can assist in development of proprioception, which is basically the feedback loop between the body and the brain. When an individual is performing exercises on an unstable surface, they are training their brain to fire more rapidly in order to make adjustments to the body’s position based on the circumstance. The body then reacts by re-stabilize, which has multiple benefits.”
WAIT! There is a catch…if you want this to be effective, that is. You will need to perform each exercise for 30-60 seconds, take no rest in between exercises and you may repeat them 1-3 times.

For the 2012 Holiday season, H&M made the best decision since it’s existence [in our opinion]…partnering with the Maison Martin Margiela. The brand is older than you think, but made popular to youth by rapper, Kanye West. According to Wikipedia, ‘Throughout his career, Martin Margiela has maintained an extremely low profile. He has never had his picture taken and remains backstage after his shows. All media contact is dealt with via fax. Maison Martin Margiela’s ultra-discreet trademark consists of a piece of cloth with the numbers 0-23.’
The collection is a bit quirky but so couture. See the pics!
