Tiger, you nasty.

A few things I find disgusting are nose picking, farting, butt scratching and not far behind, spitting. Tiger, don't you know better? Gross. 

Oh sweet disaster

Let's take a trip down memory lane back to the1998 Grammy Awards....oh sweet times, Lil' Kim was still somewhat relevant and was sporting the no-pants trend. It was stupid then, it is just as stupid today. Let's not mention the hair, purse, gloves, necklace, shoes and everything else she's got on. Disaster.

New eco-friendly transportation method

Sista knows how to make an entrance. Lady Gaga arriving at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. Hey, I'd like to have hot models as my daily method of transportation!

Hard work finally pays off!

An open window to my work

Creating a website for my photography has been in the works for a while, and I feel like now is the perfect timing for me to launch it. There is still much work to be done, but we all need to start somewhere.

Beyond the lens

This weekend was exceptional. My best friends inspired my soul and made me believe that anything is possible.

One of my dearest friends is an incredibly talented hair stylist that is undoubtedly on a path towards unimaginable success. When she told me she wanted to do a photo shoot to display her range in hair styling capabilities, I had no idea she would be taking me on a roller coaster of creativity.

My good friend showed me her brilliant ability to transform hair into an inspiring canvas that any makeup artist and photographer would be lucky to work with. Her capability to so perfectly craft a precise look and era, inspired me to look through my lens with different eyes and capture the true essence of her work.

Coincidently, the model for our photo shoot is another very dear friend of mine. A person who radiates beauty from within, someone who is truly amazing. She had never modeled before, and yet, she is the best model I’ve ever come across. I don’t believe any of us knew what we were all capable of, and when it all came together, it blew our minds.

Pass me that Kale!

This weekend I discovered that Kale is amazing. Not only because of its fantastic nutritional value, but also because of the many different ways you can incorporate it in your diet.

First things first, let’s the Kale is a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties; and it is considered to be anti-inflammatory. Kale is very high in beta carotene, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin and calcium! Kale is also high in sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties!

How does one eat Kale?
Steamed or sautéed Kale is delicious, you can make it with our favorite type of nuts or spices!
If you want to add a massive amount of Kale to your diet you can try this awesome shake! I tried it for the first time this weekend and I fell in love with it.

Kale Shake

·         1 cup of strawberries

·         1 cup of blueberries

·         2 cups of water

·         1 scoop of your favorite protein or whey powder

·         1 Kale bunch

·         Blend all of the ingredients and add some Stevia to sweeten it up a bit more!

RIP Maria Schneider

Maria Schneider, who starred with Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris, has died of cancer in Paris at 58. She set the new standard for explicitness in the 1972 movie that shocked audiences all over the world. Let's just say this 'butter' scene was completely unexpected.

Cook Sexy, thank me later.

If you really want to cook for your boyfriend and girlfriend this Valentine’s Day (or any other day) why not treat them to a sexy, easy and aphrodisiac meal?
Making a sexy dinner is easier than you think; you just have to remember this is going to be a playful and sexy meal for both of you, not exactly a meat and potatoes kinda dinner.

First, all (and by all I mean most of them) the ingredients used for your sexy dinner are aphrodisiacs, and I will explain each one of them:

V-Day Dinner Menu:

Appetizer: Raw Oysters garnished with fresh basil (if oysters are out of your comfort zone,  eat it anyways, time to try something new!)
Main entrée: Chili Pepper and Avocado Cream over Chilean Sea Bass
Dessert: Chocolate Fondue
Beverage: Vino!

Ingredient list and why it will make your dinner sexier than you could ever imagine:

Oysters (6 to 10 –depending on how much you love (or hate) them): a lot of people say they are aphrodisiac because they are high in zinc, others say it’s because it reminds us of a woman’s vulva, whatever the reason may be, oysters are an incredible aphrodisiac.

Basil (to taste): Basil not only makes the meals smell and taste better, but it also has a lot of beneficial effects on human body. Basil has a fantastic aroma that is said to have an aphrodisiac effect; it is also very stimulating.

Chili peppers (2): Chili is high in capsaicin, the substance that makes the peppers spicy - Capsaicin raises your heartbeat, leading to perspiration, releasing endorphins that are most likely to trigger feelings similar to those experienced during sexual arousal.

Avocado (1-peeled and quartered): Avocado is associated with fertility, and it lives up to it’s Aztec name ahuacati, actually meaning testicles. Besides, this super food is high in antioxidants, fiber, and monounsaturated fat, so it won’t hurt to add it to your meal!

Chilean sea bass (2 fillets): The sea bass is a good option for being low in calories, high in protein and a good source of magnesium. You can replace it with a different fish – just try sticking to fish to make your meal lighter, you don’t want to feel heavy and gross.

Plus: 4 oz of sour cream, ½ cup milk, salt and pepper to taste.

For the dessert:

Chocolate (2 bars of your favorite): no brainer. Releases happy neurotransmitters such as endorphins and other opiates that help to reduce stress and lead to feelings of euphoria.

Strawberries (as many as you want to feed each other): Why are they sexy? Perhaps because they resemble nipples…but they are also a rich source of vitamin C and it will go perfect dipped on your chocolate fondue!

Beverage:

Vino! I’d say 1 to 2 bottles is sufficient. No romantic dinner is complete without a good bottle of wine to enhance the taste of your food and get you both in a sexy frisky mood!

How to prepare:

1)      Appetizer: Buy oysters raw on the half shell. Place the oysters on a dish over some ice and thick salt – to keep them in place.  Arrange them nicely with lemon wedge, some hot sauce and garnish with fresh basil (basil is optional)

2)      Main course:

·         Season the thawed Chilean Sea Bass with a few teaspoons of your favorite spices.

·         Dice the Chili pepper, retain the seeds if you want some extra heat. Oh yeah!

·         In a blender, mix the chili, 1/2 avocado, the milk, and sour cream. Puree it until smooth.

·         In a skillet, sauté the sea bass filets over high heat, about 1 minute each side. Reduce heat and cook a few more minutes each side.

·         On individuals plates make a bed of the avocado/chili cream, place the sea bass on top and garnish with a few slices of avocado!

·         Pair this meal with your favorite wine and thank me later ;-)

Oh yeah, if you even make it to dessert, make this easy chocolate fondue right on your stove top. Get 2 of your favorite chocolate bars (I like the Ghirardelli or Lindt) and melt the chocolate in a glass or metal bowl over a pot with a small amount simmering water until the chocolate is completely melted. Pick the largest strawberries of the bunch, wash them, place them in a bowl and feed each other away!  

This is an overall light and healthy meal, that will be fun and different to eat together.

Don’t forget to enhance the mood by adding tons of candle (scentless please!) and some sexy music! Gents: make the night even MORE special by surprising her with a nice gift.
Ladies: make the night even MORE special by wearing something a little sexier than usual!

My picks for this V-Day

If I could predict the future, I'd predict that I'll be spending this years Valentine's Day with a girlfriend, a gay friend or my mom. I honestly don't mind it at all, but if could choose someone to spend it with...it would most definitely be a 7 way tie between the breath takers below.

Who wouldn't want THIS man next to them on V-Day?

I wouldn't mind if this tennis hottie swept me off my feet.

Classic hotness

Adam, just give a little more...

I'm not even sure if you still make movies..but I'd still date you Josh darling.

He wouldn't even have to take me out.

I'd feel like a cougar going out with him..but who cares?

Get good hair NOW.

Last weekend I discovered a new great shampoo! I've become very spoiled only using Kerastase products on my hair for the past 2 years, and venturing with new shampoos only made my feelings for Kerastase grow stronger. However, two weekends ago I spent the night at my best friend's house and I tried her shampoo. Turns out my hair looked lovely! Just as lovely as when I use my Kerastase! If you haven't tried the Organix brand of hair care, then go out and try it now! I loved it so much that the next day I went to the pharmacy and bought the Morrocan Argan Oil line. It is absolutely wonderful and won't break the bank. It's only about 7 bucks at any drugstore!
