Moody Foodie: Juice Cleanses

OK, I have a bone to pick with New Years Resolutions in the form of juice cleanses!!

Gwyneth Paltrow swears by ‘em, and Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Salma Hayek and Megan Fox also report using them occasionally.

But now the liquid diet fad is reaching a whole new population via sites like Gilt group and GroupOn. The big ones in NY are the BluPrint cleanse, the Organic Avenue “Love Cleanse”, iZo, and the Cooler Cleanse; they’re all pretty similar. A few bottles of juice a day, and maybe one meal, to a “purer, healthier, younger, more rejuvenated you”. Their websites are totally appealing and I’m almost considering buying one for the cute bottles.

An Open Letter to Bruno Mars.


Dear Bruno Mars,

Please stop terrorizing the world with your craptastic music.

I was subjected to your song ‘Grenade’ yesterday, and I have to say it was the worst thing that I’ve ever heard. It was so bad for multiple reasons- not just because the music is bad, but mostly because the message is mental.

So you would die for a horrible person? That’s just silly.

I understand that your girlfriend is probably very pretty with “her eyes her eyes” and her hair that falls perfectly without her even trying (never happens), but I do fear that this is a bad relationship for you to be in.

Why exactly would you die for this girl? When would any of these situations that you describe actually arise? When exactly would you need to take a bullet to the brain for her?? Unless you live in Detroit- in that case, fair point.

But why the grenade?? Your girlfriend is probably the type who studies fashion merchandising and doesn’t even know how grenades work and the closest she’s ever been to a war zone is when the Kardashians opened their DASH store in New York and a lot of people went there for some reason.

She kisses you with her eyes open, she tosses things you make her in the trash….she is not a nice girl.

You are giving men a bad name, you know. No men actually think like this, and if they do they’re the types who drive slowly and don’t drink beer and send girls multiple text messages in a row. In which case, there is no need for them as men anyway.
