Ranting

it's my blog and i'll rant if i want too!

as per my last post - i've had a shore house for over 20+ years - a little back info on myself - i've been a "save the earth" girl since elementary school - ONLY using recycled paper, everything had to be the earth on it, and i started my family to recycle before you HAD to .. i'm no major tree hugger - but i'm also not just a girl who lets things go on around her without making my voice heard! - i'm the girl who cries every time i see a deer hit in the road - ALL b/c of humans taking over THEIR land!

when we got out house down the shore - everything was forest - 30 mins to food market - now only 2 mins - there was nothing but nature down there - and it was beautiful and glorious - lots of wildlife roaming in the woods and it made my heart sing in glory! - luckily where i live on the water, the front of my house is wet lands and now a nature preserve so nasty builders can't buy it up and build - thank god or i'd have a heat attack!

but each year i see more and more builders tearing down acres and acres of land to build "communities" of the same ugly 10 house models - and this brings nothing but rage to me - the builders and the people who buy theses home are no more then thieves! - they have stolen land like Columbus did with the Indians - making wildlife have less and less land to live - stealing their homes!

i believe in the 3 R's - reduce, reuse, and recycle! (i actually wrote a term paper in college about this) - i believe in buying a house already in place and renovating it to what you want your house to be - not to be a thief! - and if you know anything about builders who buy this land - it's all about time lines and getting the job done the cheapest way possible .. cheapest of everything in the home and built poorly

as i renovated my house - i got to choose the best of the best sheet rock, wires for eclectic, where my outlets needs to be, what insulation to use, ect. - i had the ability to make sure my house was re-built with the best of the best - instead of the cheapest materials that aren't worth a damn - and i didn't rob any ones land!

so when i go down the shore - and huge strip malls are built - these damn ugly houses that all look the same - drives me bananas - and i put partial blame on the people who buy these homes - having no respect for the environment and what they are doing to harm nature! - true home-wreckers if you ask me!

i got use to driving 30 mins to the grocery store, now only 2 mins away - having less people around - but being down south - not on the water - people buy these homes so cheap and it's the only explanation i can have for why they would buy them - b/c there literally is NO work down south - so they all have to commute to NYC or Philly to work - but they think they are big and mighty b/c they bought a new construction house - well jokes on you people - you are to blame for the wildlife dying and having no where to live - you are to blame for cutting down tons of trees and not letting our earth produce the oxygen it use to - SHAME ON YOU!

i have no respect for these people - yet i do understand that they can buy these homes for a FRACTION of the price of living in North Jersey or buying a house and renovating it - but in a world where we NEED to stop all the pollution and stop killing wildlife - it's a shame these people buy these homes and feed into these builders - shame shame shame

one day i hope these people who are buying these houses and have children - look back and say OMG it's partly MY fault for how the world is turning to be - how THEY have stolen the homes of wildlife - how THEY have ruined beautiful forests and pine lands for the sake of a cheap new house

yes, i'm sure i'm going to get some unpleasant comments on this - but this is my opinion and my blog - a place i can voice my concerns and feelings and to call people out! - and YES i'm calling YOU out for buying a house which use to be home to various wildlife - SHAMEFUL - i hope you don't sleep well at night for what you have done to this enviorment - it's people like you that make this world to deteriorate - we NEED our forests - we need our wildlife - THEY have claim before us!

stop being so uptight thinking you need a newly built home (which is built like sh*t, trust i know from builders, you get the cheapest materials and it's just a matter of time before your house is crap) - think of the world you live in - think of the children of the future - don't take the beauty away from them and the clean air those tree's could have provided

so sleep tight home wreckers - and if you have children i feel sorry for them for what you have taken away from them - a beautiful planet - but bc of your greed you made this world the place it is today!

REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE

don't fall into the ugly path of builders and the same 10 ugly homes that make a so called "community" - make a difference in the world - don't cause more havoc! - let the children of the future be proud of you, not ashamed you took their nature away!

THINK ABOUT IT - maybe you will realize sooner then later before it's too late!!!

ANYONE ELSE FEEL ME?

I GOTTA HAVE SOME EARTH BUTTERFLIES WHO FEEL ME!

Trail

so this weekend i went down the shore for my Mom to see some of her friends and for a change of scenery - my town and the town next to it is VERY historical - and we now have a main trail with side trails that go from my town to the next - so crazy me with my neck and shoulder injuries - i did a 3 hour hike/job/power walk/high bench lunges/and squats -- not to self - NOT a good idea to jog when having neck issues - here's my view of my 3 hour work out (ps i'm back to wearing my neck brace and muscle relaxers - nothing is gonna stop me from getting this weight off - this Gemini doesn't quit, not in my vocabulary)

and OFF i go!

the main path have these tell-all's about the history of the 2 towns the trail goes through - very interesting to read

my town of 20+ years - "Dog Town" is an historic part of my town

start of my journey

this birds house does not like visitors apparently

cue from nature - always have a bridge ready to go - you never know when your gonna need that bridge in life - so be careful who you cross paths with

nature showing use to hold one another - we all need a support system in place! - true love

doesn't it look like an owl head?!

yes indeed - i make traffic stop for me :o)

life gives you the choice - to keep on going or turn back around - i voted to keep on going and going

beauty

they say when a tree falls in the Forest do you hear it? - well i vote YES! - The Universe hears it and comforts its fallen soldiers!

another cue from nature to learn from - "lean on me" - it's beautiful to know even nature knows how to help one another - now if only 'humans' could act the same way

be the last one standing no matter what the battle your fighting - you'll be sure to win!

this tree i'm in love with - bends over backwards to help support the rest - we should all learn what nature shows us everyday - we just gotta open our eyes, heart, and soul to realize the signs they are laying out for us!

hard core workout completed - 3 hours of nothing but guts and glory fighting through the pain - no pain no gain!

DO YOU LOOK AT NATURE FOR ADVICE FOR YOUR OWN LIFE AS I DO?

ps - i have a rant to go on - i might upset some of my readers - but 1 thing about me is that i tell it like it is and how i feel - i don't mind upsetting others when it comes to our enviorment - it's my blog and i'll rant if i want too - coming tomorrow! - hint: about saving our earth and our forests along with its habitat .. *boiling already over what i will be talking about*

Got my eye on you

so i'm out of commission with the gym for the last 2 days - i pulled my neck and shoulder muscles - and let's just say OUCH! - so needless to say it's been 3 sleepless nights due to pain - but pain is part of the game - and i should be back hopefully tomorrow kicking ass again! - i'm already thriving to get back to my 3 hour work outs!

anyway we all LOVE pinterest - here's some of my 'fashion' pins i'm loven'

i'm calling copy-cat on this outfit - must wear!

HOW ADDICTED TO PINTEREST ARE YOU?

DO YOU USE IT FOR INSPIRATION LIKE I DO?

Pics

what a night - no sleep at all - and busy busy day today - it surly is gonna be a killer day - on so many levels - i might be making 1 more life changing move today which has my stomach in knots - but sometimes you gotta do what's hard in order to move on and get life back to where you want it - *fingers crossed* i make it through today alive! - but i did get some positive career advice yesterday, which has me pretty excited for my future!!

here's some pics i've had of my 'life' to share:

here's Elmo - remember i told you i got into a car accident the day before Christmas Eve - i still haven't got his winker fixed - you can see he even has a tear coming down ..

we had a lil snow over the weekend and i finally got to wear my black leopard fur design Sorell boots - they were over $400 and i got them less then $100 - can we say SCORE!

Hello Kitty bubbly - ya know this girl is all about it!

DJ Kayleigh D

DJ Rusty D

my Niece was over and when the pups had their hoodies on she said they looked like "DJ's" - so DJ Kayleigh D and DJ Rusty D will now be spinning the 1's and 2's - book now while there still are spots open for your next event! *wink*

i finally hung all my heads over my bed in my bedroom - only thing missing is the birch wallpaper to go behind them!

Here's to a crazy day ahead!

All about the Boys

changing it up a bit with a lil men's fashion - nothing beats a great dressed man in my opinion - i take great pride in bringing Joe from wearing Nike/Under Armor/Reebok ect. type of clothes - to now wearing Vince/James Perse/William Rast/Gypsy05/Ralph Lauren/Burberry/Paige ect. - he's gone from being a total man's man to being pretty metro sexual in his dressing - from head to toe - he now has a wardrobe even women would dream of *pat on my own shoulder*

IS YOUR MAN INTO FASHION?

i sorta' created a monster - it takers him longer to get dressed and pick an outfit out then i do anymore - but secretly i love it :o)

Boho Dreaming

ah the style of bohemian make my hurt smile in bliss - there's something so special about a free spirit and one who dresses themselves or their surroundings in such a matter - below are some of my fave boho 'moments' - i think today will def. be a boho-bell bottom-head piece wearing day!

DO YOU EMBRACE THE BOHEMIAN LIFESTYLE AT ALL??

** getting ready for a give-away soon - stay tuned **

Gym Update:

so many of you know i gained 35lbs in 1 month due to side effects to medicine - so i joined the gym and got myself a personal trainer - his name is Evan and he's the director of all the trainers (lucky me, i seriously got the best of the best of trainers) - he's working me out hard-core - and well the promise is by the end of our sessions i'll be in the double digits and rockin' hard with my solid body - this makes me believe the Universe is so looking out for me *thank you* - and all the energy i have developed has been amazing - i spend 2.5-3 hours, 5 days a week there minimum - i'm on the motivation boat - and there's no slowing me down! *toot toot*

PS - alot of you are asking - i'm 5'3 and my normal weight is between 100-105 - plus i'm small boned which makes a huge difference - so double digits for my body is actually a healthy number not a crazy obsession - hope this clears that up to all my butterflies :o) .. and i'm on a healthy diet (cancer diet plus lots of cleanses and lots of organic meals)
