America's Best & Worst "Health" Drinks


David Zinczenko writes about the best and worst health drinks. He labels, snapples, SoBe Green, Arizona Rx Energy, and Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus Grape as the worst unhealthy drinks.

However, most people do not look at the nutrients list. The thing that catches their attentions is commercials and the package label.

For example, I did relay for life and stayed up all night. How did I possible do that? I drank Monster energy drinks. I did not really care, about if it was healthy or not. The thing that matter was that it tasted good.

Journey’s End: John Galliano On Showing Dior Resort in Shanghai


Christian Dior premiered his 2011 resort collection in Shanghai, where he mixed New York, Paris, and an exotic theme. Dior said that he wanted to create a modern, young and fresh energy that could represent his collection.

However, he captured everything except for modern. The clothes were great when it came to present, but his choice of models were poorly. All the models that walked the runway, were slim and tall, with a Barbie look.
Now a days, thin is just not a part of the world. If he wanted to be more modern, he should have picked models in all different sizes. (I understand designers want models to be like a size 0 but really? This is discriminating against all young girls. )

In the fashion world, models represent the ideal of beauty. When the truth is, no one is actually that size. In my opinion, this just lowers young adults self esteem, making them feel unhappy about their weight. (Bulimia and anorexia is not the key to happiness). So, live your life the way you want and not how the media wants you to. ( :
