It’s so sad when talented artists get in legal trouble! It happens wayyy too often, and Meek Mill is the latest artist to fall victim to the legal system.  Last week the Dream Chaser was arrested due to violations to his probation. He’s still in jail..and word is his hearing isn’t set until September, AFTER the release of his second album. ..sounds like a lot of bull since he was arrested for pictures posted on Instagram and tweets on Twitter. ..Leave Meek Alone!

 Have you been dealing with acne? Unfortunately, even as a young lady, I still suffer from breakouts. If you are like me, you have probably tried several products, treatments and even medications that have promised to help cure acne and did not help.

Well I’ve got a solution. The best way to go is the NATURAL WAY. When I say “natural” I mean free of chemicals and resources not found in nature. One of the popular natural treatments for acne is said to be cucumber juice. Cucumber juice has been used as a natural remedy  throughout the Asian and Middle Eastern countries to help calm and cool down the skin. This type of juice is quite beneficial when ingested since it contains large amounts of nutrients such as Potassium and Vitamin A. 

Cumber Juice Recipe….

Peel the skin off of one cucumber

Slice the cucumber into thin slices and place them in a pitcher

Fill up the pitcher with cold water and let the mixture sit out for around one hour

After one hour, pour yourself a glass of cucumber juice and enjoy

You could also get a cotton ball and dip it into the cucumber juice and apply it to the affected areas of your skin. You can get all of the cucumber benefits by just simply following these steps!

If you’re not sure which foods will provide the greatest boost to get your metabolism going. Here are 6 super foods that can help you reach your fat loss goals!

Without a diet centered on super foods, specifically 6 primary super foods that are helpful for everyone, people start to quickly see declining health, higher costs in healthcare and especially if there are more frequent visits.

One cheeseburger isn’t going to destroy your health, but one cheeseburger three times a week with a side of large fries, salt, ketchup and a coke will do it.  You don’t need to completely eliminate bad food right away. Quitting cold turkey doesn’t work for people, and that’s not making a healthy change – that’s a stressful change. Instead start with working the super foods back into your diet while controlling the portion size and frequency of other junk foods.

Start with these 6 fat burning super foods to get you back on track:

1. Soy Protein

2.Whole Grains

3. Grapefruit

4. Green Tea

5.Fish

6. Apples

Just last month LeBron James opted out of his contract with the Miami Heat and today after four years and two championship rings, LeBron James has decided he is returning home. In James’ statement he makes clear the biggest factor as to why he decides to return. “My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball, I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.” He also mentioned that winning a championship for Cleveland is what is the most important to him. That’s as real as  it gets. Congrats Lebron!
