Love Is a Four Letter Word

Today drops the 4th album by Jason Mraz.  "Love Is a Four Letter Word" released its first single January 2012 with the track, "I Won't Give Up."  When Jason Mraz wrote this song, it seemed highly probable that his ipod playlist involved John Denver's "Annie's Song" and Switchfoot's "Dare You to Run."  The similarities will either sway or lure you to the 13 track album.  The video gives a heart felt vibe and the lyrics of the song sums up the title of the album.  Whether you are a die hard fan of J. Mraz or not, this video showcases his lyrical raw emotional talent.  He also features his "hippie" type look. Other tracks that caught my ear are below.  Enjoy and Happy Tues!

"I Won't Give Up"

"The World as I See It" 

"The Woman I Love"

"Be Honest"

"You Fckn Did It"

"93 Million Miles"

"The Freedom Song"

Healthy Tips and Tricks from America's Doctor!

I am a big fan of America's Doctor!  Doctor Oz is on a mission to give viewers the tools and changes to better your health.  Some of my favorite tips and tricks from a segment are listed below.  ENJOY!

TREATMENT for: 
SPLINTERS - ripen banana peel on the affected area wrapped overnight.  Helps bring up the foreign body up to the surface for easy removal the next day.   


DANDRUFF - 1part apple cider vinegar / 1part water into a spray bottle.  Spray and massage into scalp.  Turbine towel your hair for 15 mins.  Shampoo then wash off.  Repeat 3 days in a row then 2x/wk.  Helps break down the bacteria/yeast dandruffs thrive on.


BAD BREATH / GINGIVITIS - chew on a piece of sage to treat those nasty bad breath and inflammation on your gums.


CALLUSES - take a real licorice stick (not the candy one) and grind in a coffee bean grinder.  Then add 1/2 tsp. of sesame oil to make a paste.  Apply to affected area and seal with a bandage.  Wear overnight then wash in the a.m.


ECZEMA - add 1/2 box of the small size baking soda to a warm water bath and soak for 20-30 mins.  Rinse and repeat when needed.  


MUSCLE WORKOUT CRAMPS - if you have tried extra Potassium and Magnesium replacement and it failed to relief those painful cramp, try drinking 2.5 oz of pickle juice to treat those onset muscle cramps.  It takes about 85 seconds to work.  Trainers have recommended this tip to their athletes with much success.  NOTE: it does NOT work for menstrual cramps!


TIPS to ADD for HEALTHY LIVING:
- When going to the bathroom, try squatting instead of sitting to work those leg muscles and back.  It helps increase the flow and time to do your business. Plus it prevents the risk for hemorrhoids.


- Shop at the perimeter of your store.  If you take a look at the layout of your favorite grocery store.  Everything in the middle are what they consider "fillers" to occupy the original healthy stuff.  Vegetables, fruits, meats, milk, etc are always placed around the store not in the aisle.  Interesting huh?


- I'm not a big wine drinker but when i do consume wine my choice is a nice glass of  Cabernet Sauvignon.  This particular red includes the highest antioxidant called Polyphenols that prevent cell damage from free radicals.  Also Cabs contain the most amount of Resveratrol which increases the "good" cholesterol and slows down the "bad" cholesterol.  NOTE: Please consume in moderation.  Max 1 glass for women and 2 glasses for men.

Hope you've enjoyed this topic because i love learning new ways to improve everyday living with Doctor Oz.  I have one question for you.  What kind of change can you add today to improve youself?  I think 2pac said it best!

Stolen Cell Phone Database!

Lost your cell phone? Got it stolen?  Worry that the person who kept it is gonna sell it back on Craigslist or Ebay?  Don't fret my pets.  In efforts to cut down on phone thefts, the FCC has now teamed up with the likes of AT&T, T Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon to crack down on such inefficiencies.  

U.S. cell phone owners will now be able to call their provider to report lost or stolen phones and be placed in a common database.  The carrier will lock it down to prevent any data and voice usage from the phone.  That particular serial number will ceased any activity incoming and outgoing.  So basically finding a new iphone or a fancy smartphone anywhere is useless.  The retailers are basically saying "we've got your back!"  

In the meantime companies are still encouraging consumers to set passwords and secure their device.  For the iphone users like me, take the time to download "Find My iPhone" app and register your phone. This app will locate your iphone from a computer login and detect its current location.  In order for the app to work the lost/stolen iphone has to be powered on to be detected.  This will give cell phone users some sort of peace of mind per say.  If you invested big $$$ to own a fancy smartphone shouldn't it make sense to protect it?  Just Saying! :))  

Ending the blog with a new track from Eminem.  The song title is so fitting!

"Hot Metal" ft. Skyla Heavens

Opening Day for Baseball!

Today is Good Friday Passover indeed.  Also the opening day for the Angels baseball team starts!  The Angels square off against the Kansas City Royals tonight, April 6th 7pm Anaheim, CA at the Angels Stadium.  Albert Pujols, former St. Louis Cardinals, debuts his 1st opening game as an Angel!  The number 5 jersey Angel has created such a buzz to the team!  

Not only are fans excited about the new team member, but the food also decided to do a make-over.  We are all familiar with Dodgers signature Dodger dog and garlic fries.  The Angels stadium food was never really a must have.  Perhaps this season that will change.  New addition such as the Deep Fried Hot Dog wrapped in tortilla with your choice of toppings and the cinnamon sugar nachos topped with ice cream is also making a debut at the food concession stands tonight!  


Check out the new song for the princess of pop, Britney Spears.
