Well guys, I've been pretty busy lately and sadly I haven't had much time to write. So since I have some down time tonight...I decided I wanted to address Mr. Donald Trump. Mr. Donald Trump.... Where do I start with this one??? What the hell? Who am I kidding??? I can't put into words my feelings regarding this candidate...so I will let Russell Brand do it for me! You want to know how I feel....watch this video!
Dear Mr. Trump, you are not presidential material and you will not get my vote!
What is sexting? Sexting is simply what it sounds like and that is the transmission of explicit materials for sexual gratification.
As you can probably guess this is pretty popular these days...but what are the consequences?
Yes, a lot of you will probably say its no big deal...after all we are consenting adults. Which is true to an extent. But what happens if you are an underage sexter?
So many of our youth these days are in fact sexting...without even realizing the possible ramifications.
For one if you are underage it is considered an illegal activity. Simply because you are not 18 and transmitting inappropriate pictures of yourself. It can get even worse if you attend a high school in a small town.
Here's the scenario: A young child (girl or boy) takes a naked photo of themselves and sends it out to one person. That person in turn sends it to hundreds of other kids. So by the time the picture is sent, the whole school has seen it. This picture can be used to harass this child!
Once this is done the picture can live forever. So even if this child has left the school their sibling/siblings will be forever embarrassed or teased about it for years to come. So in closing, kids please do not participate in sexting...it can and will haunt you for many years to come.
Have you ever had a friend who constantly complained about how their boyfriend/husband constantly cheated on them? Maybe you had to sit through endless stories about their ongoing affairs or listen to them simply whine.
So why do these women stay?
I've seen it numerous times....hell I've even done it!
You always have that one woman who constantly gripes but never takes action...
So here are some of the most common reasons why women stay:
1.They have children with this man. This ones pretty obvious...you simply have a woman who refuses to get a divorce for the sake of her children. Now personally if this is you don't stay! Why subject yourself to an unhappy or in some cases a sexless marriage. Point blank: You deserve happiness. So why settle for anything less?
2. They Can't Make It on Their Own. Now when I say this I mean that the woman simply can't survive on her own. Often times the woman has no college degree(or high school diploma) for that matter. Therefore, they are willing to subject themselves to the constant cheating. If this is you I want you to know that you CAN MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN!
3. They Don't Value Themselves. This is simply what it sounds like. They will take any attention they can get. They often times have very low self esteem and feel they can't do better. Well guess what? You can do better! Don't settle for a cheater!
In closing, instead of constantly whining or rehashing numerous affairs, leave him! Simple as that. The hard truth is that if someone cheats once on you they are going to do it again! Especially if this type of behavior has gone on for years. So have some respect for yourself and find a good man!
We have all heard it before, and that is to simply appreciate your loved ones while you can. This is such a simple yet complex thought. After all, we just assume that everyone does this. However, I can tell you that this is not always the case.
About two months ago I had my second son, Roman Luke Hopper, and for many nights I had absolutely no sleep. So I remember late one night surfing through the cable channels when I came across a series I had never seen before. That series was none other than Six Feet Under.
Now I know some of you are wondering what this has to do with anything...and you might be surprised to know it actually put a lot of things in perspective for me.
I am going to start by saying, If you have family or friends that you have gotten into fights or arguments with, please seize this moment to make it right with them. Now I am by no means saying go back into a toxic situation!
I am simply saying if you had a silly argument or have been holding a grudge over something trivial...please fix it.
Now if you are in my situation, where the people are just toxic and abusive, by no means should you try and fix it. It's better to not fix some situations!
But for those of you who can fix your situations... please do!
I ended up watching all the seasons of Six Feet Under and realized how important my own family is! I realized that eventually we are all going to die and it's the moments that we share with important people in our lives that matters the most.
I guess we all get caught up in everyday things and forget that everything can change in an instant. So tell your husband or wife how much you love them...hug your children like it will be the last time you see them...and live each day like its your last!
Life is a gift and it shouldn't be taken for granted....
I think what I loved about Six Feet Under was that it showed a family that had numerous fights and disagreements yet they somehow managed to stay together and be there for each other. It also showed me just how short life really is!
So for those of you who don't know about this show I am going to attach the series finale of the show.
It was such a sad ending yet it showed how each character coped with the deaths of each of their loved ones and how life went on! So check it out!

I wanted to make this post about something very simple and relatable. Something that we all could use from time to time...and that is a little inspiration!
Inspiration to do something good with the life we are given. I really do believe we all get a little too caught up in ourselves and our wants. We often times fail to see what life is really all about. Quite simply life is all about helping our fellow humans.
We all underestimate what a simple helping hand can do for someone. As people we all need a little bit of help every now and the even if we'd not like to admit it.
Which brings me to the inspirational quote I'd like to share with all of you...
"We can not help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
This quote is very simple and good reminder for us all. While we may not be able to help everyone that is in need, each one of us can make a difference for someone if we just extend a helping hand.
So the next time you drive by and see someone in need don' t hesitate to help...every good deed does not go unseen!
You never know how much of a difference you can make in a someone's life!
I have attached a video that you might find inspiring!
I'm sure most of you know that exercising is beneficial to your health....besides the obvious, such as an aide in weight loss exercise can do so much more for your body.
Since the birth of my son Roman, exactly a month ago, I have picked up my work out routine yet once again. This time however, I am getting much quicker results due to much trial and error! But I have also noticed a couple of other perks!
So here are some surprising benefits from a cardio or max interval training session!
1. An instant improvement in mood!
Would you believe that a single workout actually increases your mood? Stressed out, feeling a little down, or just feeling blah? Physical activity actually stimulates certain brain chemicals that leave you feeling well "Happy." Not to mention that extra boost of confidence you get after a draining workout!
2. An instant boost in energy!
Feeling tired from raising kids or simply everyday activities? Well, get this if you want a quick pick me up...Workout! When you exercise it delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently! When your heart and lungs work better you have more energy to go about your day! So don't hesitate to do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day!
3. Exercise helps fight disease and health conditions!
Believe it or not exercise actually can help keep you healthy and disease free! Exercise actually boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This is simply good cholesterol. This aides in decreaseing unhealthy triglycerides. This helps keep your blood flowing smoothly which can decrease cardiovascular disease! Exercise can also help prevent strokes, depression, and type 2 Diabetes!
So in order to keep yourself healthy and happy don't hesitate to do some physical activity everyday! You will feel so much better and your body will thank you for it!

This quote speaks volumes to me simply because it has been such a big part of my life.
I wanted to write this article for those of you who may be struggling with making one of your dreams come true or even just meeting a goal you had set for yourself.
First I just want to say to you, "Never give up on any dream that you have."
Life has a way of just happening but just because it happens doesn't mean you can't pursue what you love.
As I have found in the past three years if you want something bad enough you have to work for it. And not just for a short time, it has to be given a continuous effort.
It's like a plant if you want it to grow you have to continue to water it.
And yes, you will run into people who will continue to say that you can't do this or you can't do that...Pay no attention to people like this...they will only hinder your growth and success.
So for some inspiration I have attached a video that will help encourage you to grow and pursue your dreams.
